Barn Board Shelves...DIY

This was another DIY project that we did for Mason's room.  We literally took old barn wood that was laying out by the barn...mounted it onto corner brackets (be careful to keep the bracket straight with the back edge of the board) and then onto the wall.  I did stain the wood prior to putting it on the walls because I saw some sign of bug abuse, which I'm convinced was old...but better safe than sorry.  So we got three beautiful and unique shelves for his room... at about $2.50 per shelf.  It cost only what i paid for the corner brackets at Tractor Supply.
What you can't tell from the picture is the natural rough edge on the shelves.  Its really gorgeous!




Updates 3/13/12:  I finally gave up looking for the missing cords for the camera and purchased new ones (cheaper than buying a new camera).  Here are a few pics of the shelves with greater clarity then the phone photos were giving.
The photo shows that we did nothing to improve the edge of the wood and used it "as is"
