DIY Easy Floating Shelves

by Jennifer

I’ve been unintentionally keeping a little secret from you. At first I didn’t want to say anything in case it didn’t work out and then when it did work out I got caught up in other projects and forgot to mention it here. No more secrecy!

I’m now a contributor/freelance writer for eHow! I’m really enjoying working with them so far and will be contributing original content there a couple times a month. I expect it will be mostly the kinds of tutorials you find here on The Chronicles of Home, and I’ll fill you in on my latest content there as it publishes.

My first post for them is up now – how to build simple floating shelves.

Tutorial for building super easy floating shelves!

Head on over to eHow for more photos and a full tutorial!

    Definitely heading over there now! I’ve been wanting a total of four floating shelves in my living room, so I’m going to head over to your tutorial as soon as I submit this comment (wanted to be sure to thank you for the post of course!). Congrats on becoming a writer for eHow!

      Thanks, Erica! If your shelves are going to high, you’ll probably want to add a piece to the underneath. Mine were at a level where I could leave the undersides open without it being obvious :)

    I like the shelves. You have inspired me to hang up a few at my house! PS who makes that beautiful straw bag that is hanging under the shelf! I love it!

Meet Jen

I'm a design and DIY lover, decorator, modern home-maker, foodie, fashion enthusiast, and jill-of-all-trades when it comes to home improvement. I'm slowly but surely adding classic-contemporary style to my early 90's colonial home one inch at a time and I'm taking you along for the ride.

It's often messy - there are usually project remnants and toys strewn about - but the making of a home isn't always tidy work and I love showing you how you can make and style and organize your way to a home and a life you love!
