We just bought our first home a few months ago. It is taking me a long time to decorate, because I am more picky about what goes on my walls. I saw this shelf and I knew I had to build it. It was really simple to do. I even did it without my husband, and that is huge for me. I have step by step pictures on how to make this shelf on my blog.

Ana's Barn Beam Ledges are very simular, but I turned them and added molding to the front.
Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
20.00
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
For the finish I used dark walnut gel stain, and then after the stain dried, I painted it with Home Depot Vermont Cream. When all the paint is dry, you sand the outside so the stain shines through to give it a more rustic country look.
