So, this is not a new project and I’m sure many of you have seen it before, but I love it so much that I want to share! If they look familiar, you probably saw Whitney’s version HERE! She made them for her little boys room and I LOVE them so much that I decided to make my own for an empty hallway wall upstairs. They only took about 30 minutes to make and I spent $17 for two!! Incredible:) I followed Whit’s directions to a “T”. I LOVE the look my new shelves give my once boring hallway wall! If you are ready to try your hand at building, this is the perfect project to start with!
