Build a Rustic Shelf walkthrough

The steps below follow the order of the work for this decor project.

Build Your Own Rustic Shelf walkthrough Submitted by clearly Saturday Crafts and More   I have been trying to find something to fill up my wall in my living room. I saw this fun shelf at Faded Country and I knew I had to make it. I love the blogging world. There are so many fun things to make!       Here is my shelf project.   Materials: (1) 1x4x8 (cut the board in half so the wood is 4 feet long) (I had Home Depot cut my boards) (1) 1x6x8 (Cut the board in half so the wood is 4 feet long) Trim for top and bottom. Wood Glue nails (I used my brad nailer) Something to hang it to the wall Calking  Opps! Just imagine the picture turned.

 After I had the trim on, I put calking on the trim and in the nail holes. Let it dry.

 To get the distresed look, sand the board down so the stain shines through. I actually put extra stain on the white paint to give it more of an antique look.

The hardest part of this shelf was the trim. I have a hard time thinking about angles and putting them together. I went through a lot of trim to get it right. My husband does well at the angles, but I wanted to do it all by myself. If I can do it, anyone can. My husband did help me hang it.
