Rustic Country Shelves

Submitted by cculver on Wed, 06/19/2013 - 16:26

Super simple and great looking shelves! Because of my set up, I chose not to do the key-holes on the back and instead drilled directly through the back lip. I also adapted the shelves to be 6" deep vs. 4". In order to make it easier to lift my jars from the shelves, I trimmed the front lip a 1/2". The color is "Ebony". It goes on jet black, but ends up looking like old barn wood--with out the splinters! They turned out perfect!

Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
I used a stain color from Home Depot. The color was Ebony. It goes on jet black with a foam brush. I did 2-3 boards at a time and wiped off with an old t-shirt. Let them dry about an hour before assembling them.
