\"These<\/p>\n

Hi guys!\u00a0 We’ve lived in our new home for a year and a half now and I’m embarrassed to say that there is nothing hanging on the walls.\u00a0 I guess about a month ago I hung my Pom Pom Wall Hanging<\/a> but that’s it!<\/p>\n

Tim is sort of particular about what goes on the walls, which is probably a good thing because I would have gone crazy by now.\u00a0 I finally told him that I wanted to start living in our home and not just existing in it.\u00a0 We need to breath some life into these bare walls!<\/p>\n

After throwing a few ideas at him, he agreed that I could dress up this wall here.\u00a0 It’s between the fireplace\u00a0 and the window in the living\/dining room.\u00a0 We made these Easy Box Shelves and now you can too!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"These<\/p>\n

You’ll need:<\/strong><\/p>\n

-1×6 or 1×4 pine common boards (we used both, for depth)<\/p>\n

-Wood Glue<\/p>\n

-Hammer (Stop. Hammer time)<\/p>\n

-Finish Nails (no head)<\/p>\n

-Wood Stain (I used Behr weather proofing wood stain in DEEP BASE No.5013)<\/p>\n

-Chop Saw<\/p>\n

-Nail Set<\/p>\n

-Wood Putty (okay, we used drywall patch, but whatever you have works)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Let’s get started!<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Cut!\u00a0 These boxes were 12″ x 12″, which means you’ll need (2) 12″ vertical boards, and (2) 10 1\/2″ boards. That way the overall dimensions create a square.\u00a0 (1) 8′ board will do both boxes, but different widths make it more interesting.\u00a0 Also, play around with the idea of making rectangles if it goes with the room.<\/li>\n
  2. Lay out the cut pieces so the short lengths and long lengths are opposite each other.\u00a0 Apply a thin bead of glue to one end, before you line everything up.\u00a0 Remember to line up the edge directly in line with where you’re driving\u00a0the first\u00a0nail in.\u00a0 After it’s pinned, you can always rotate, to get it straight all the way across.\u00a0\u00a0 This just takes (2) nails per connection.\u00a0 Each nail should be about 3\/8″ in from the corners.<\/li>\n
  3. Do this all the way around – it gets easier each time.\u00a0 This shouldn’t get out of square, but you could always lay it flat on a hard surface to double check.<\/li>\n
  4. Once everything is in place, use the nail set to drive the nails in about another 1\/8″ deep.\u00a0 You need to have a hole for the wood putty\/filler to live in.<\/li>\n
  5. Patch the holes.<\/li>\n
  6. Now lets stain.\u00a0 I used\u00a0Behr weather proofing wood stain in DEEP BASE No.5013\u00a0and I watered it down a bit.\u00a0 I just rubbed it on with a cloth.\u00a0 I did one coat only.\u00a0 You could paint them too!<\/li>\n
  7. Hang your boxes however you want.\u00a0 I just used a few small nails and hung the box right on top.\u00a0 You can barely see them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These turned out so cute!\u00a0 We have really bad natural light in our house and these pictures don’t do these Box Shelves justice, but trust me, they’re amazing.\u00a0 I think we’ll make more of these for the boy’s room.\u00a0 They’d be perfect for displaying they’re favorite collectibles.<\/p>\n

    Thank you for joining me! \u00a0I hope I was able to inspire you to build some cute little shelves today.\u00a0 Pin the photo below to your DIY board on Pinterest for quick access to this tutorial.\u00a0 Have a great day!<\/p>\n
