Brian came home with this idea one day. I was super skeptical at first (as usual). Shelves on the wall with pictures? But as usual, he was right. I just don't have the eye he has.
It works like this: Brian got some wood from ReUse (see
"...Or make your own furniture" for what this is) to make these. They are just simple 2 x 4 boards cut lengthwise to a couple of inches. Then he put a small piece of board in the front section of the 2x4 to keep the pictures form sliding off. He drilled holes almost all of the way through the boards front to back, then screwed them into the wall through these holes. The holes were unsightly, so he covered them with another thin piece of wood. You can see all of the components in the picture to the right. I love these shelves. We had a huge wall that needed to be filled up with something, and every other previous attempt didn't turn out so well. Brian is a hobby-photographer as well, so it's an opportunity for us to display his pictures. He takes pictures of rural nature (barns, fields, fences, and some waterfalls), so his pictures blend into our home
