About 2 years ago when we were redoing our kitchen, I made these ledge shelves inspired by Ana White's $10 Ledges. I originally wanted to use them as storage for spices and our olive oil, but once our vent hood was installed, there just wasn't room for them, at least not as I had originally intended. Since mine are made of yellow pine (harder wood) and I used a 1 x 6 for my platform instead of a 1 x 4, my ledges cost more than $10.
