Diy Rustic Mantel Shelf

My chunky diy rustic mantel was inspired by this awesome mantel by addicted to decorating.

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. Low hanging rustic mounted mantel shelf on a stone fireplace. I also use a level to make sure my shelf sits straight. While that was drying i attached the shelf brace to the wall.

Just in case the rustic wooden beam mantel is unequivocally the idea that has appealed to you the most but you need some better guidance that s a little more specific to helping you mount such a thing on a very hard stonework fireplace. I use a stud finder for this part. I think this gave it an uneven and rustic look and i love it.
