Simple, Farmhouse Style Shelves For Our Built-In Cabinetry

Mar 31, 2017 By Layla

Steevenson’s toys were *just* the motivation I needed to fiiiinally get some shelves inside our built-in cabinetry in the living room.  It was a super simple project. First, we used some left over wood to make cleats:

Then, we used some inexpensive plywood as the shelves. We tacked 1x2s to the front of each one to make them look a little chunkier, and then stuck some Stikwood to the front of each so that they’d look like the front and side of the cabinet:

Next, I painted the shelves (and dry-brushed the Stikwood) Light French Gray by Sherwin-Williams:

Oh my goodness, it’s SO nice not having all those boxes on the hearth anymore! 😀

Last but not least, here’s a short video I posted on Instagram the day we were putting it all together:

If you have any questions about this project, don’t hesitate to leave me a comment below. I’m happy to answer!

Have a great weekend, friends!

    Perfect timing–we will be needing to do SIMPLE shelves in our new–very dated–home in an upcoming move. This will work great!

    I love finding stylish ways to stay organized. Shelves are great; not only can you show off your decorative home decor but you can hide clutter in stylish baskets and boxes as well!

    you are too cute Layla! (your video)

    Perhaps because I have “been there done that” in a way, I toooootally get the feeling of “oh my gosh I love my kid(s) but I have an organized space again!” Especially combined with holy crow I actually found two minutes while the kid(s) were busy/out/at school to get some work done! 🙂 LOL!

    Looks great and likely feels great!
    Sending ya hugs!
