While we were working on the flooring, Brian created new shelves for us. He used a big blue pine slab, and cut it into several shelves. (We were going to use this slab for a sliding door, but shelves were calling to us instead!! 😃 )
One of the shelves went into the Guest Bedroom Closet.
Brian cut it to size, and sanded it and sanded it and sanded it some more! He attached the shelf to the wall using black painted piping and flanges…
And, why would we put a shelf in the closet? Well, the closet isn’t used for clothes, so we decided to display my Gram’s quilts!
My Gram made six of these quilts (and the matching pillow up on the shelf); one quilt was made by my Nana (my great-grandmother)…
Brian made a “Quilt Ladder”… he used an old pulley (about 12” in diameter) and some old rope, and he made the rungs from cedar “hobby wood” we had…
I LOVE how it turned out!! Brian did an AMAZING job!!
As for the other shelves from our Blue Pine Slab? … You’ll have to wait and see… I’m sure they’ll turn up in another Post soon!!
