Friday Favorites: Beautiful and Useful Shelves

Woo hoo! It’s Friday! That means it is time for Friday Favorites and we are all about the shelves this week. Shelves are a great way to add storage in so many different ways, or to add a fun decorative touch. Oh and don’t miss our funny stuff too.

Favorite Unused Space: Our bathroom is coming along and we installed the built-in recessed shelves. Recessed shelves that are right inside the wall between the studs use space that would otherwise be wasted! Read about how we installed them here or watch the video below.

 

Favorite Themed Shelf: Anika’s DIY Life has some really great shelving ideas, but this one is so cute! Learn how to make this dinosaur shelf and add this decorative touch to any cute little boy’s room. I mean, regular hooks would have been cute, but these dino hooks put this shelf over the top!

Favorite Way to Add a Pop of Color: Southern Yankee DIY added a touch of something special by creating this faux wallpaper pattern. Think of adding polka dots, stars, or any other small design that will make you smile when getting dressed.

Favorite Floating Shelves: Never Skip Brunch had those plain old wire shelves in this closet, and she swapped them for these gorgeous floating wood shelves. Now I want them in my pantry, linen closet, everywhere.

Favorite Pantry Shelf Idea: Maria Louise Design is so smart and added this spice and storage shelf. Storage spaces like these are great because they really utilize small spaces and make the most of your home. Plus, those cute spice bottles have me rethinking my spices.

Favorite Kitchen Shelf Idea: I don’t have a lot of kitchen space, but this corner shelf is perfect for a little neglected corner, especially because you can go up with as many bins as you want. Build your own with the plans and instructions from Anika’s DIY Life.

Favorite Plywood Shelf: Plywood is a great  budget option for building. This leaning shelf is simple and has a fun modern vibe. Use it for holding books or plants! Get the building plans right over here by Krista Builds for Remodelaholic.

Favorite Shoe Storage: The Created Home has the dreamiest mudroom. I mean look at that dog bath and those lockers, but what really has me drooling is the slide out shoe storage shelves. Learn how to make your own shoe shelves so your mudroom can be this dreamy.

Favorite Display Shelf: Oh Everything Handmade for Remodelaholic created this cute little display shelf. It is perfect for storing small items like nail polish, essential oils, maybe even legos or more.

Favorite Useful Shelving: Garages are a great place to store things, but without shelving it can become a mess quickly. The Handyman’s Daughter gets the award for most useful! Store all those decorations, yard tools and more.

Favorite Hanging Shelf: Ropes are a fun way to add texture to your shelves. Table + Hearth for Remodelaholic shared how to get this cool nautical look.

Favorite Decorative Shelf: Looking to show off some cute succulents or other decor? This modern shelf you can build by Anika’s DIY Life is perfect for showcasing your favorite things.

Now let’s look at some of our favorite inspiring shelves from our Instagram feed (make sure you follow along with us on Instagram too):

Now are you ready for a little laugh? Come on it is the weekend! Let’s enjoy it.

Who else loves Hobby Lobby? I mean all the cute cute things are there! I get lost when I am there, but I enjoy it.

If only… if only.

It feels like this every single time I say no.

With that, hoping your weekend is full of fun DIY projects!
