Industrial Shelf Solution for the Guest Bath (or any room!)

We were in desperate need of extra storage in our teeny, tiny guest bath. The single vintage shelf was simply not enough. A fan of all things industrial, we used metal plumbing fixtures and glass to create three simple shelves. Triple the storage space!

We started with this metal flanges, rods, and tips, coated them with primer, and then coated them with a layer of oil-rubbed bronze spray paint.

Then we mounted the painted brackets to the wall, attached two self-adhesive rubber dots to each bracket, and topped them with glass pieces cut to size.

Accessorized!

These shelves look great. Where did you find the glass that fit?

Thanks, Steve! I had them cut to fit at a local glass place.

I've seen these on ebay with silver and bronze if you want ready-made.
Just search wall shelves. The glass comes with it. About $16.00 to $25.00
plus shipping.

Nice idea....I would suggest installing two black 'O' rings per rod to keep the glass from scratching and slipping....(auto parts store or plumbing section hardware store) we fabricate aluminum shelf rods similar to this concept in many of our designs and typically rout in a small grove to hold the o ring from 'rolling"

Nice clean look. In small places, using vertical space is the only way to go!

Love this look! Awesome styling! I've pinned your shelf to the Hometalk pinterest board, there are a "few" followers that should see this great idea! ;)
