DIY Barn Wood Kitchen Shelf

Ever since we moved into our current house a couple years ago, I’ve been adding touches of rustic charm to our decor.  This weekend, I was fortunate enough to pick up a piece of old barn wood from our friend’s farm and decided to add some of that rustic charm to our kitchen with a simple DIY Barn Wood Kitchen Shelf.

We used deck screws to attach the shelves to the main board, then made sure to anchor it to the wall.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with the other half of the barn wood piece!  I’m sure I can figure out something!
