Beneath My Heart

Industrial Shelves {for a boy’s room}

HOME TOURS

23 Feb

 

I finally finished the industrial shelves on Luke’s wall!

I’ve been dying to show them to you!

They have been finished for quite a while now, but I was searching for the perfect light to go over his bed, and I haven’t been able to find it.  Sad smile

So I am still looking.  But for now, I am just using this silver pendant light from IKEA.  It works.

I have had fun decorating his shelves with some old things and some new things.

The “Explore” sign was from Gordman’s.  The blue fan was a yard sale find for about five dollars several years ago.  I got the colorful, old books at the local antique mall.  The red truck we have had for a while, and I can’t remember where we got it.  The glass jar is from Walmart, and the blue frame I bought at Gordman’s.

My favorite purchase for the room was the “exit” sign.  I love the color it adds to the wall, and it fits perfectly next to the door to the bedroom.  I purchased it half off at Hobby Lobby.

The US shaped chalkboard and letter “H” were also from Hobby Lobby.  I got the bowling pin from Goodwill several years ago.

I love how much storage the shelves hold!  We were able to add baskets, and books, a clock, a globe, and more.

It really is such a fun space!

The striped rug is from the Ballard Designs’ outlet.  The bedding is from Ikea, except for the grain sack pillow.  I bought the aqua grain sack at the local antique mall and made it into a pillow.

The bed was stained wood until I painted it black last year.  I got the bed frame at a yard sale over 10 years ago for $15.00.  You can’t beat that!

If you missed how I made the rolling storage crates for Luke’s wall, you can read about it HERE.  Or just click on the picture below.

And if you want to know how I built these shelves, just click HERE or on the picture below.  It shows you how I built Jonathan’s industrial shelves, and how I used the same size pipes for Luke’s wall.

I am so glad to have these two spaces completed!  I still need to build some desks and add some window coverings, but I am moving on to their bathroom for now.  I have GOT to get that finished!  Smile

If you have any questions, just leave me a comment below!

 

Have a blessed day!!!

      Not for this particular wall, but I did one almost exactly the same for my other son’s wall. The link is in the bottom of the post.

    I love this and would like to put them in my husbands office in our home. Do you know if there is a way to install these shelves without mounting them to the floor? I don’t know how we could repair the floor if we were to ever take them down.

      Teresa,
      The boys LOVE their new shelves. I’ve given them permission to move stuff around on their shelves after I took pictures. :)
      They helped me pick stuff out for their shelves, so it was a lot of fun!

      Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Traci!
    Haven’t commented in a while, but I always stop by to see what you are up to.
    I have absolutely loved how you have done the boys room. It is space efficient and stylish and can grow with your boys.
    Excited to see what you come up with in their bathroom. Loving those red vanities already.

    Hi,
    lovely job! wanted to know if you have an exact SKU number(maybe barcode with correct name is behind the chalkboard) for the US shaped chalkboard. tried searching hobby lobby site but there are so many items without the right word… it’s takes a lot of time to search which I don’t have.:) Thanks.

    I have a question about how you placed the shelves in the center. I see where the shelves are anchored to the wall at the floor and at the top. What did you do in the center? Are the shelves just placed on top of the tpiece, pipe and 90degree part? If they are just placed, the next row on top, is it just standing on the shelf? Or did you still hikes in the wood to put the pipe through? Did you screw it together? Does that make sense? I apologized if that’s confusing!

      Hi Joanna!

      There is a link at the bottom of this post that explains how to build the industrial shelves. Even though it is a post about the other wall in my boys’ bedroom, it is still the same principle of how we secured/built the middle shelves. Here is the link to that post:http://www.beneathmyheart.net/2014/01/build-industrial-shelves/
