The Building of a Tchotchke Shelf


I've seen these shelves in various trailers, mostly to hold a bunk bed, however my Sante Fe didn't come with one. But I needed a place to decorate & it was so empty on this huge curved area of the wall. So Mike and our son built a shelf by using wood, L brackets, wood glue, & a piece of primed crown moulding from the hardware store. 


It is very sturdy! When we pull on it, it doesn't even budge. At this point all I had to do was caulk the screw holes in front of moulding, sides where it meets the wall, & paint! I also painted the L brackets the color of the wall to hide them more. All of my decorating will hide these anyway.
