Open Picture Ledge Shelves

Today I am sharing picture ledge shelves 

I made for our living room.

These are the easiest shelves in the entire world!

Very inexpensive as well!

I cut a 1 x 4 pine board into 36" lengths. 

Then I stained it.  

After it was dry, I sanded it very well to distress the wood.

For the shelf support , I used L brackets.

These are not very strong and sturdy for anything heavy.  

But I knew my shelves were only going to hold light items, so it works perfectly for me.

I spray painted the metal L brackets with rust spray paint.

When everything was dry, I screwed the brackets to the wood,

then mounted the entire thing to the wall.

I always get our family photo printed and mounted on mat board.

I love not having to frame them, then I can just set them on a shelf.

I used our family photos to hide the antennae for our tv.
