home: made [ floating shelves ]

Shelving can bring so much to a room, giving extra dimension and interest to a plain wall. With so many options it’s sometimes hard to pick something that will work. A style we love is the floating box shelf, created simply from four pieces of wood. This style can be adapted in many shapes including hexagon or house designs. You can adapt the shelving to your needs whether it’s shallow shelves for ornaments or deeper ones for books and plants.

We have found some great tutorials to get you inspired.

home: made [ peg boards ]

You have probably noticed in recent years, peg boards have been seen more in the home than the tool shed. And this is due to their versatility and quirky style. The simple design and functionality of equally spaced holes in a large panel of wood with accompanying pegs is genius.
Most commonly they are used as notice boards for hanging items and photos, and of course still used for tools and utensils in workshops. But have you thought about what else can be created with peg boards?!
