Once you map out the area that you want the shelf to be installed you can start to get together your material list. The list shown here is for a shelf that is 4′ wide x 4.5′ tall and it comes off the wall about 17″. The cost of materials was just under $200.00 and the entire project took about a day (but most of that was for the stain to dry). In part 3 we will begin the stain and construction of the shelf, the fun part!
Be sure to have home depot cut the 8′ boards in half so that you end up with {4} 2″ x 12″ x 4′ boards ready to stain!
