Fence Board Shelves- Cheap!
These are the treated fence boards at Lowes. They have pallets of them for $1.49. I can't remember if they are 6' or taller. I know that I got at least two shelves per board. DISCLAIMER- PLEASE USE YOUR MASK, GLOVES AND PRECAUSIONS WHEN SANDING TREATED LUMBER. Sweep up the shavings and disgard in garbage. Then go take a shower.
I have to apologize as my other IPad crashed with all my pics with the process.
First I cut my boards the length to fit my project wall.
Ok... now you have to visualize till I can redo a board to show.
Here is a board that was painted. I didn't worry too much about the different look on each shelf as I knew they would be covered with pics.

Anything was better than that big glass curio cabinet.

I love this idea! It's beautiful!

Use cedar fence boards! Costs a little more, but no chemicals!

That would defeat the purpose of cheap. They don't treat wood like they did in the past.

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I wonder why you didn’t just use 1x6 pine? Was it a cost issue?
Where did you get the brackets? Is that 1 piece or individual to each shelf?
Did you also make that cool cabinet? I love it.
