DIY Floating Shelves
Hey...I asked this same question a couple of weeks ago! Got some good ideas. 👏👏Showed to hubs..do you think he did what I showed him? Noooooo! All I wanted was a rectangle box as shown in one of the projects. Just a plain rectangle box,mounted on the wall either side of the bed. So....I hope you have better results than I did. I should have gone to store and had them cut a piece of wood for me,then brought it home and said.put it together. 😳😅
