This is what you get when you go to garage sales all summer and find a bunch of corner shelf pieces. I bought a set of doors and had a set of hinged shutters and put them all together. The top shelf (just the bottom piece) was given to me after a child fell on the piece and broke it all to pieces. It had a drawer that made it worth the saving so I took it home to my laboratory. I had to replace the top shelf because it was split in two, luckily I had the two wall shelves with trim that fit the piece perfectly. The bottom piece is two sets of wooden corner pieces that my husband attached to a bi-fold door. Three of the shelves had the cool architectural trim and three didn't so I just placed them as you can see every other one. I think my husband did a great job putting this piece together, Jeff has been a builder all his life and worked commercial for years so this was a piece of cake for him. I in my wildest dreams could never get shelves so even and straight. Thanks Husband you rock! I baked him some special pecan bars tonight to thank him, he is such a great guy!

ReplyDeleteLove this!! I will be keeping my eye out for scrollwork to do this with, since I hope to open up a shop this year & already knew I wanted a small corner shelf. Never thought of making one with shutters.
