DIY Turnbuckle Shelves For Less
Rustic industrial open shelves are super popular. In search of the perfect shelf for my son’s nursery, I found myself paying over $100 for a tiny shelf that could barely hold a few books. I was able to create these two book shelves for a fourth of the cost and twice the size. You can create this look in under 30 minutes and with very minimal tools.
