12 DIY Wall Shelf Projects
The art is hung and the gallery wall is perfectly in place, but there is still a plain wall in need of some love. The small knickknacks and framed photos are waiting for a home, and what better home than some hanging shelves? And not just any old shelves! We found plenty of ways to make our own personalized shelves for every space. Hit the hardware store, grab your tools and wait ’til the landlord leaves so we can start drilling holes in the wall!
