I already have a couple more of these and plan to add these shelves to my bathroom. Now I have a custom Rustic bookshelf that looks professional and high end! I love them soo much! You can see the wood fits the brackets perfectly! It looks so much better don’t you think? Once dry I installed it by following IKEA’s instructions for the brackets. Now that the lumber was ready I lightly sanded it and brought it outside for staining. I then cut the wood to the length of the shelf I wanted. So my plan was to rip the stair thread down to the width of the bracket, I think it was 7 1/2″ wide. I bought 2 and took them home knowing I would make them work.Īs you can see these have a bull-nose on 1 side which could be a unique feature for a shelf but I liked the idea of clean lines. They were too wide and long for the shelves but the thickness was exactly 1″ wide. Well I finally did! I was so excited when I stumbled upon the stair threads like these. This was not gonna work for me so I went back to the hardware store with my bracket in hand to find something, anything that would work. Here are some pictures of others shelves, I cropped their pictures so not to name names! I was very disappointed to see they all accepted the 3/4″ thick wood. So, I started researching what other bloggers did for this project on Pinterest. I wish they would call it 3/4″ or just increase the size to 1″ but who am I to change what has been happening for years! I really don’t understand why the industry does this. So if you expect to buy 1″ thick it will most likely always be 3/4″. I then went back to the hardware store thinking I bought the wrong size wood but then I was reminded that when you buy lumber it doesn’t match the dimensions they call out. Of course me being OCD and can’t handle the look of this, well I freaked out! It looked soo sloppy and not professional. Well I get home and place the bracket over the wood and there’s a gap. So I went to the hardware store and bought 1″ wood thinking everything is great. Now for the point of difference…These brackets fit a piece of wood that is 1″ thick. I spray painted them in bronze so they would better match the rustic look I was going for Rust-Oleum in Oil Rubbed Bronze is my favorite to use. Thanks for supporting A Shade of Teal!
