Low hanging rustic mounted mantel shelf on a stone fireplace.
Diy rustic mantel shelf.
Her instructions are top notch and are perfect for anyone with a flat faced fireplace but i did need to change several things to accommodate the style of fireplace i have where the brick doesn t extend above the mantel.
I located the studs in the wall and marked on my shelf where they would line up.
My chunky diy rustic mantel was inspired by this awesome mantel by addicted to decorating.
While that was drying i attached the shelf brace to the wall.
I think this gave it an uneven and rustic look and i love it.
I use a stud finder for this part.
I also use a level to make sure my shelf sits straight.
