These are my favorite shelves – three pieces of wood and done in no time. I made two 10 foot shelves for my son’s room only to change my mind. It’s not easy finding a place for two 10 foot shelves in your house. I cut one in half and found the perfect wall in my office for two 5 foot shelves.

Of course the shelves sat empty for a time because I couldn’t figure out what I wanted in my office space. But they’re full now and they make me happy.

I love this wall because it embodies who I am. Some of my favorite photos, favorite people, favorite places, favorite memories and my favorite collection of cameras. Including my dad’s old Canon SLR. Life with Fingerprints: DIY Photo Ledge/Shelf
