Wall Shelf with Hooks

A wall shelf with hooks created from a
very interesting side of the road find.

Wall shelf made from repurposed furniture

There is an antiques/junk dealer on my way to work who puts broken pieces of furniture on the side of the road.


Broken table turned wall shelf with hooks

and I am here to pick them up!

This was one of the 2 pieces of a broken table I found.

After cutting off the leg, I used the curved flat piece to create a wall shelf.

Broken table turned into a carved wood shelf with hooks.

I attached hooks to the front and added a shelf to the top.
I gave the entire piece a coat of white chalk paint
then stained it with dark wax.

The piece has some gorgeous carvings that really popped 
after the painting and distressing.

This guy has no idea what he is throwing away!

Another piece of this same table (the one in the photo to be exact) can be seen here.

  2. You are right, he didn't know what he was throwing away...but it takes someone like you to see the beauty in the "trash". Great job on the shelf!!

  6. You scored big on that one! Great job remaking it into something so pretty. I wish I knew an antique store that threw away interesting stuff.
