Mod Shelf Made With Goodwill Thrift Store Items
This mod shelf DIY is my version of an expensive designer furniture item.
I’ve been redecorating a room in my house with a retro theme. I found a shelf that I LOVED but it was more than I wanted to spend. I was so excited when I found these four floating shelves at Goodwill San Antonio.
They look like maybe they came from a woodworking class, as they were not completely polished and perfect, but they were still in great, solid condition. At just $3.99 each they were an incredible deal!
I knew they were perfect for making my own version of the shelf unit I had seen online, and I just needed some retro looking legs for it. It only took me two weeks and three Goodwill stores till I found the perfect legs on a coffee table. I bought that (at just $14.99 it was so much cheaper than buying furniture legs at a supply store!) and got to work on my project. For under $35 I made this cool shelf that looks great in my room.
Supplies Used for the Mod Shelf DIY:
- Shelf cubes (4)
- Table legs
- White chalk paint
- Wax
- Paintbrush
- Electric Drill
Wood glue
