You might remember that I am working on decorating little man’s room in a nautical theme. I have a few projects finished already, but it’s a long way from being completed. The biggest room update so far has been the chevron wall, and now I have built some hanging shelves to accent the space.
My original inspiration for the project was this DIY Swing Shelf from Project Nursery.

Holy moly this is fantastic! Your version is better than the original you pictured!!! I have two questions 1) Do you use a sander or sand paper? and 2) For the stain in a spray can, would you recommend it for larger projects like desks? Or no?
Sam says
*THANK YOU*! I have a sander that I use…I have tried to hand-sand projects in the past and it’s TOTALLY worth buying a sander! I actually am preparing to use the spray-on stain for a bit of a larger project later this week, but I would think it would be PERFECT for a desk. It goes on so evenly, and doesn’t leave a lot of extra to cause drips.
Sarah says
Love those shelves! I like them better than the inspiration too!
I also wanted to thank you for sharing your herringbone wall! I found it & used it as inspiration for a large canvas I just painted for over my desk. I posted about it today if you’d like to check it out.
Can’t wait to see what fun project you tackle next!

Cute! I love this look. Where do you find free pallets? That’s what I haven’t figured out yet…
I started my very first “Weekend Warmth” Linky party…and there are no rules. Please join in!

We usually get them at the construction sites in our neighborhood, but my Father-in-Law has gotten some for us that he’s seen on the side of the road. I’ve also seen them behind strip malls sitting by the trash bins.

Love it! Those turned out adorable and for a much better price! Thanks for sharing at the Pomp Party! Pinning!
Sam says
Thanks! The price is really what sold me on this method instead of the other!
Jenna says
Totally loving those shelves! My son’s room has a bit of a nautical twist to it, and those would fit in so well. Hmmm… The wheels are turning. :) Great job!
Sam says
There are so many options…I even thought about tying several together vertically and making one large shelf…I think it could be cute for books, or even shoes or something.
