This was my first attempt at making shelves (or woodworking for that matter) and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. I live in a 500sq.ft. ADU with limited kitchen space and needed space to hold cups and mugs. As much as I'd love some vintage designer shelves, they just weren't in my budget, so I thought I'd try making my own piece. I took inspiration from the Ilmari Lappalainen Leo shelf and other Danish mid century designs. This is my encouragement to anyone who has been too scared to try a DIY project themselves (granted, I made sure to pick an easy design). The satisfaction of making these myself is almost more valuable then the money saved!
