I decided the big boy room needs a barnwood shelf. So after enlisting some hubby help....
I staged it with some blue mason jars for y'all. No sneak peeks of it in the big boy room yet! So what do you need?? Some barnwood and a dowel rod.
Don't forget your Gorilla wood glue...
Pick your barnwood carefully...these worn edges make your shelf extra special....
We are extremely blessed with a great supply! Cut your bottom and back the same length....
We drilled three holes in the bottom 1/2 inch deep...
DH put tape on the drill bit so he knew where 1/2 inch was...isn't he a genius?? And three holes in the side of the back....
K...I say "we" but I mean I watched...grins.... Then cut little dowel pieces for the holes...
Did a dry fit of the two together then put the glue to each hole....
We used a few finishing nails to hold the two pieces together while they dried. Now the ends....dh is a genius once again...as he made 'em where the gorgeous barnwood edge is out...
A little Gorilla glue and finishing nails finished off the ends...
Gorgeous barnwood details...
And make sure all those natural edges stay out and the sawn edges are hidden....
It makes all the difference...gorgeous country goodness...
I can't wait to accessorize it in the big boy room...
And ain't I lucky to have such a great hubby??
So what did you make this weekend?

Great project! You (eh hem, your hubby) did a great job with the shelf! I can't wait to see how it looks in the new "big boy" room!
Looks great with the mason jars! I just put some out on my porch today since it was so nice out here but more snow is apparently coming. =(

Wishing I could find a few pieces of barnwood. You and your DH make a good.
I have some awesome shelf almost like them. I love them.
You are lucky to have a sweet hubby....that, and a supply of barn wood? Blessed for sure.

very nice...love those aqua mason ball jars on the shelf too!
That looks so great. I love the worn out wood. Worn out, but not done!
Makes a great shelf.
Love it! Looks great with the mason jars, too.
Looks amazing!
We have some barnwood that I've been wanting to do something with. This is a great idea!
Wow, Angie, isn't it a blessing to have a ready supply of barnwood? Good for you! I really like the shelf--and the blue jars look great on it!
You might want to stop by my blog today--I think there's a little announcement there that might interest you! :)
Great job. That wood is GORGEOUS!

Love this shelf, Angie! It is pretty awesome!
The shelf looks great! I love it with the blue mason jars sitting on it.
You are lucky to have such a great husband! The mix of the smooth blue glass with the rough barn wood makes such a pretty contrast.
This is a really awesome post! I would like to invite you to link it up to my link party, Masterpiece Monday, at my blog, Boogieboard Cottage. The link will be up all week. I hope you can join in the fun! Mary :O)
I love this... looks like a gorgeous treasure that washed up on the shore after a storm.
Peaceful day,
Julia~
A great shelf to display that gaw-geous blue glass! Thanks for the project idea!
I love your rustic shelf and your jars too.
Great job.

How lucky you are to have such great old barn wood. It looks fantastic. love the rough edges.
Love it! But what I love best are the oddities in the wood. The imperfections make your shelf unique and VERY authentic!
Donna
