Industrial Shelves

I spent a while looking at different shelving ideas and finally settled on exactly what I wanted, I nice, rustic/industrial floating shelving unit. Here is the sketch of my "vision"

I wanted a nice rustic shelf so we went with 2” thick building grade lumber and a hanging rail system to attach it to the wall

I was only able to get the rail system in a mixture of black and white, but I wanted everything a rubbed bronze color so spray painted all the railing

Then we attached the railing system to the studs and painted the “cubby” my teal accent color

Next we sanded and cut all the shelves to size. Then notched the shelves where the rail bars would go so the shelves would sit flush against the wall

Treated the pine with Minwax Pre-Stain (which is a requirement to get pine to stain well)

---

Then stained everything and finished it off with a satin spray on Polyurethane

Finally, we assembled and filled with goodies. The shelving is complete!
