Learn how to DIY this reclaimed wood wall shelf that is sure to add rustic farmhouse style to any space.

Hello, friends! So happy to be back today and taking a break from One Room Challenge craziness to share how I made this rustic wall shelf.

If you remember, I made an Irish Blessing Framed Sign and a Framed Canvas (without using any power tools).

They looked great together! But … the space was still missing something.

When I remembered I had another piece of reclaimed wood in my basement from when we made our DIY farmhouse shelves, I knew just what I was going to do.

And … the wall shelf was made.

I LOVE it.

I added on a sweet little glass bottle and some faux florals to really complete the look.

Here’s my current gallery wall:

Much better, right??

You HAVE to pop over to Making it in the Mountains to see how I made the wall shelf. It was SO easy (cut, assembled, painted and hung in ONE day!) and I love the rustic texture and farmhouse style it brings to the space.

Wishing you a joyful day!
