Floating Shelves by Handy Billy



Our $1 Floating Shelves!

Billy found a plan online on building floating shelves so Brayden would have a place to display all his Lego creations and his Star Wars ships.  We started by going to the ReStore (a place that sells donated building supplies -new and used- and picked up a set of folding closet doors for $1.  Painted them black with paint we already had. 
 Billy made some braces and drilled them into the wall.  His were even better than the plan's.  We cut the doors down and they slid right onto the brackets- well almost, we may have had to do a little sanding on the brace.... It would just be wrong if our projects worked out perfectly the first time ha ha!

 


Now we just need to fill them with all those cool "boy" things Brayden has waiting to show off!

Way to go, Billy! We are jealous. Ethan has been begging for shelves for his Legos. Tell Brayden to take a pictures once his "creations" go up. I'm impressed with the style and the price. They look awesome.
