DIY Mid Century Modern Inspired Entry Shelf Steps

Step i: Choose the bit wood

Take your woods pieces cut to the specified dimensions at your local hardware shop. Sand the edges to prep them for assembly of the open shelf.

Footstep two: Line them up

Line upwardly your forest pieces in a rectangle shape. Identify the smaller boards inside the longer boards and then that the summit and bottom are anchoring the sides. Apply wood gum to the edges and wipe off whatsoever backlog with a moisture rag.

Step 3: Hammering process

Attach the wood pieces together by hammering a nail into each corner piece where your forest attaches. If you lot have a brad nailer, this is the easiest way to brand sure your shelf is attached securely. If not, then advisedly hammer nails into each corner to secure the shelf. Let the shelf dry for a few hours or for the length of time every bit indicated on the back of the canteen of the wood glue.

Step 4: Glaze of paint

Apply a coat of paint (or a end if you decide to leave your shelf au natural) to the wood. Paint a thin and even coat and allow information technology to thoroughly dry overnight. Add a second coat if needed. Here we chose a light and fresh neutral green that paired nicely with the walnut stained tapered legs.

Step 5: Bending plates

Once your shelf is completely dry, add together the angle plates to each corner. Make sure the flatter office of the angle is facing outward and so that your legs are angled out. Screw into identify with a spiral commuter and the screws that come in the pack with the plate.

Step half dozen: Add legs

Style your shelf with a catchall handbasket and you have the perfect spot for accessories in your entryway!
