I admit it. I save every Pottery Barn catalog that comes my way. I love their classic style. But alas, this gal's bank account doesn't love their prices. So I dream. And then I met Ann White.
Materials:
2- 1x4 6ft board ($ depends on what kind you buy)
1- 1x2 6ft board
10 screws ($1.79 for a pack of 20)
white paint (free... found in garage)
2 L brackets ($1 each @ IKEA!)
old frames (free)
white spray paint (free, hello... leftover from house remodel)
I kind of cheated worked smarter not harder and bought already primed white MDF instead of unfinished wood, so that I only had to paint white the ends of the boards. And then I screwed them together. Then screwed the L brackets to studs in the wall and screwed the shelf on to the L brackets. The "official" instructions don't use L brackets. But I wasn't sure if I'm 100% commited to a white shelf. I might want to change it to black in a few months. So due to my commitment issues I used L brackets.
Then I spraypainted all my old frames that I've had in a box for years.
Oh, and I added that really cute Love decoration. I got the wood letters from my girlfriend as a housewarming gift. I spraypainted it black and then mod podged the "O".
Easy, cute and definitely within my budget.

Call me Pottery Barn. I know how to hammer.

You are so darn creative that it makes me want to barf sometimes. But in a good way.
