Some good friends recently bought a house, and tore out a built in bookshelf. They wanted to replace it with some floating shelves that looked like a reclaimed beam. I figured it’d be easier (and cheaper) to fake it than wait on finding the right beam. It was interesting because one side of the inset was brick, and the other was drywall.
This is an extremely simple project that could be adjusted to just about any situation. If you don’t have an inset like theirs and are just interested in a floating shelf that hangs on a wall, I’ve got one of those here that you can check out!
Oddly enough, I’ve got a different set of friends who also want a floating shelf piece, but it will be entirely different than either of the two I’ve done previously. I’ll be posting it in the near future as well, so keep an eye out!
