LeCultivateur Happy Tuesday, friends!!
I always get so many questions about the brackets that I have used on the shelves in my kitchen, so I thought I’d show you all just how easy they were to create!
When I decided to add open shelves in my kitchen, the first thing that I did was scour the internet for the perfect shelf brackets. I really wanted gold or brass. Everything that I loved, cost more than I wanted to pay. Isn’t that always the case?!! But I wasn’t about to stress about it, because I can almost always find a way to recreate what I want, for a fraction of the price!
These lovely brackets from Crate & Barrel were my inspiration…
What I started with, are some of these brackets from Home Depot…
These would also be so cute….
I simply added some Rub’n Buff, in the color “gold leaf”, to the brackets and screws.
I love using Rub’n Buff because it helps create an aged looked, which y’all know that I love!! Gold spray paint would also work really well, for a more modern, sleek look.
Simple as that, and they were ready to hang! To hang the brackets, I screwed one bracket into a stud, but the other one, I had to just use anchors. I’ve been loving these anchors lately…
They work so well!
If you remember, last week, I only had one shelf here…
I liked the single shelf, but decided to quickly add another one…
What do you think?
So far, I think I like it!
Thank YOU so much for visiting my blog!!
Hope y’all have a wonderful day!

The shelves and the way you styled them are just perfectly beautiful !
Thank you so much!! You’re always so kind! I appreciate you!
Your shelves look so nice the way you have them styled. I love the color of your brackets. I have never used the stuff you use a lot. I need to get some.
You really need to try it! You’d love it!
They look stunning!
What an affordable upscale look.
Thank you so much!!!
Emily,
Your shelf brackets look gorgeous. Rub ‘n Buff is one of my favorite finishes, too.
