Floating Space
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Before & After, Decorating
In the theme of getting the office put together we tackled another project this week. Installing floating shelves. I’ve had my eye on a pair from IKEA. The $20 Lack Shelves. I must be a trend setter because those babies were sold out everywhere. I even called the warehouse and they tried to ship me some from Virginia and unfortunately, no dice. I did find some look alikes at Amazon and put my order in.
Our little office space looked like this (great chair huh?).
The shelves were pretty easy to install. The shelves came in two pieces. One piece was a metal bracket that was installed on the wall.
The second piece, the actual shelf, just slid right over the bracket. Easy! So now we have some handy shelf space to keep the desk clutter at a minimum and some interest on the wall to keep Matt from going crazy looking at the white expanse of wall.
After hanging the first shelf we realized that the second one wasn’t necessary in the office. We’ve been trying out different places all over to find it a home. I think we’ve found a winner so we’ll post on that later.
Have you found any look alikes that fit the bill for one of your projects?

That’s the neatest office i’ve ever laid my eyes on.
