Make It Weekly (Blog)

This week we're making a DIY Rope shelf! This shelf adds a modern farmhouse look to any space. We've found these shelves online for over $200, we were able to make ours in an afternoon for under $50. And it's so customizable that it will match any decor, it can go from modern farmhouse to beachy nautical, just by changing the rope or thickness of the shelves. We used two 1x10x6 boards and some rope and were able to complete this beautiful display shelf in an afternoon. Come watch us #doitbuilditmakeit!
