New Shelf From a Printer's Tray
After moving my living room around, I had an empty space on the wall above my tv. I happened to find this printer's tray, which was the perfect size for the spot, at a local antique store. After a trip to Home Depot for a board and some corbels, putting this shelf together was easy! I simply cut the board, stained the new pieces and attached all together with screws. Now I have a new shelf that I built with my own hands (it's very gratifying!) and that I love!
This shelf was made with only 2 corbels, a 6" board cut to size and a vintage printer's tray
I chose a board with a visible knot to give the new wood shelf a little bit of character.
The printer's tray was the prefect size for the area above my tv and the addition of a polaroid banner complete's the look.
I simply stained and added corbels and a 6" board to the top of the printer''s tray

I love it! I'd never have thought of doing such a thing. It's just right. I'm having the same problem right now. I moved my TV armoire to the corner, so the space directly across from the sofa is bare. I am waiting for inspiration on what to do with the space. Nice job!
