Adventures in Remuddling

We’ve been pretty behind on our Apartment Therapy stuff, which is exactly what the authors warned against. In our defense, I will say that this is not just one-bedroom-apartment therapy, we have a whole house and a basement and attic, as well as a miniature front and backyard (which desperately needs some landscaping help).

At any rate, we did not do a full scale cleanup of our study. Instead, I had to narrow the focus to building shelves, which we sorely need. Our butler’s pantry has these decent looking brackets, which I copied for our bookshelves.

First I traced the outline of the existing brackets and took measurements, then recreated it digitally and scaled it larger for study shelves. When we redo the kitchen someday (far far away), the same design will be used to give the rooms a consistent look.

Tig made a cardboard template out of the drawing, and used a jigsaw (we don’t have a bandsaw) to cut out the supports.

Next step will be painting and mounting the brackets.
