Since moving into our new home, I've been trying to find display options for my vintage treasures. I found reclaimed wood and metal shelving at Restoration Hardware, but the $2500 price tag was hard to swallow. It wasn't like I wanted to display expensive pieces of art, just vintage pieces acquired at flea markets, yard sales and estate sales! I searched around the web until I found a site that had a great tutorial, with lots of step by step pictures. When I was done, I had shelving I had built myself for $185 and a boost in my confidence! More pictures and details on the blog.
This is the finished shelving holding a few of my vintage treasures. I was happy to have more space to display them!
I spray painted all of the metal pipes and pieces in Rustoleum's Metallic Spray Paint in Oil Rubbed Bronze.
I couldn't be happier with how the shelving turned out! It works perfectly in my industrial and vintage eat-in kitchen.
The shelves are stained in combination of Minwax Classic Gray and Dark Walnut stain. The wood shelves are from the Ekby line at IKEA and run $7 for each solid pine shelf.
