It is totally possible! And you don't even need a saw!! Well, unless you have to cut pieces of wood to size. Then you will need a saw.
So let's get started!
Here is what you will need...
1 1x4 length of wood
1 1x3 length of wood
1 1x2 length of wood
wood glue
stain
plastic gloves
lint-free cloth
nail gun.
hand sander


Your three pieces of wood should all be the length that you want the shelf. For example, I wanted my shelf in my loft 6' long, so all three of my lengths were cut to 6'. Sand those pieces of wood with you hand sander.
Next, put on your plastic gloves and stain the wood! I like to apply the stain with a bristle brush. As you apply, wipe the excess stain off with a lint-free cloth. This is the part that will take the longest.
Let those dry for a minute while you put all the sander, and stain away.


Next, do the same with the 1x4. Put glue along the bottom of one of the 4 inch sides, and line it up on the other side of the 1x3. Then secure it with the nail gun!

And voila! You're done! Easy Peasy!
This is going on my wall above my couch in my loft that I am doing for the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE. I have LOVED following along with all the other designers! It's been incredible to watch all the transformations!! If you haven't checked it out yet, then you definitely need to click HERE. And make sure you head over to my INSTAGRAM and follow along as I put the final touches on this next week!
See you soon! Happy building!
