I think we’ve teased you enough with iPhone pics on facebook and close up shots here on the blog, don’t you? Would you all like to see our Restoration Hardware Inspired Shelves?
Restoration Hardware Inspired Shelves Reveal
Notice the picture in the black photo frame? Our thanks again to Abby Cook for taking some great family shots for us!
If you recall the former living room shelves got moved to our son’s room which left a need for book storage and such in the living room. We loved the industrial-look of Restoration Hardware’s Dutch Shipyard Shelving. But we REALLY didn’t love the insane price tag of $2295 each U.S. – especially since we needed two of them for a total of $4590! Ack!
So we did what we always do in this situation – we DIY’d ourselves some shelves!
We will post the DIY how-to for you as soon as we can, k. But for now, what do you think of our vintage industrial shelves?
UPDATE: Our DIY instructions and tutorial are here.
i am in LOVE…. i think i need some.
The shelves are gorgeous! My husband is very handy and innovative . . . this might be a future project for us
Looking forward to the tutorial!
We will get to it ASAP, Claire!
Gorgeous! Don’t ya just love those Superstore wire baskets??
Ha! Yes, I do! They have a great bread basket too that looks a bit like a trencher for around $10.
Nothing short of AMAZING!!!
I just want my 100 year old house to be furnished & decorated by Shannon & Dean Designs.
I can’t wait to hear what your cost was to make them.
We’ll share the DIY and costs soon…
They look fantastic, as always. Great job guys!
Thank you!
Good job! Would you share your source for the crock pot you have on the bottom shelf????
Hi Natasha! I bought the crock several years back at an antique barn sort of place in Barrie, Ontario. It has a crack in it, but if I recall correctly it was about $25 CAD. it currently holds the tv and wii remotes.
I absolutely love them! You did a beautiful job!
One of the Restorations Hardwares here in NC is closing….and everything is 70% off. aaaaaahhhhhhh……it’s killing me!
That would be SO tempting!!!
Wow, those are AMAZING!!!! Brilliant job. They would go so well in almost any style of space. I can’t wait for the DIY instructions- I’m going to be trying those out!
Also love the tins with the numbers. Did you make those too?
I wish I could say I made them…but they were a Homesense find.
What do ‘I’ think? FABULOUS!!!!!!
You must be thrilled with the final result. And I’m a teeny weeny envious. In my wildest dreams we could never pull that project off. We had enough trouble hanging curtain rods last night! LOL!
Aw! But curtains can be tricky!!!
They are absolutely gorgeous!! Can’t wait until you post the tutorial.

Thanks Catherine…we’ll get it up soon.
AMAZING!!! They are absolutely beautiful and even more fabulous since you DIY’d them instead of paying $$$$! Love it!
TY!
STUNNING!!! They look amazing, I cannot believe y’all made those! I’ve been searching for inexpensive industrial bookcases ever since I fell in love with them in Restoration Hardware! Fantastic job!
Wow – really a great project – I hope you don’t mind if I share it tonight on my blog – findinghomeonline.com – Thanks, Laura
Not at all – thank you, Laura!
Love those shelves…fantastic job. Look forward to seeing you DIY post (so I can totally rip it off).
Lol. That’s totally why we post how-to’s!!!
I love them, I want to do something like it but shorter for an awkward spot next to my couch below a half hall. I look forward to your How-To post!! I’m your newest follower
By the way, where did you find your wire basket? 
The wire basket was from The Superstore (aka Zehrs or Loblaws).
LOVE these!! So looking forward to the tutorial!!
When will you post the DIY guide to these shelves?? I want to make these asap!!
Thanks!
I hoping for next week. Dean constructed them at work (no workshop here, winter outside), so we need to chat and then write the DIY.
Those shelves are incredible! Go you guys! I’m putting your project in the PoPP Spotlight. Thanks for linking up.
THANK YOU!!!
I adore your new shelves! Can’t wait for the tutorial!
Thanks, Korrie!
Would love to see the tutorial when you post it.
Nice job! One of your newest followers.

I so hope your DIY tutorial includes words like “easy” “inexpensive” and “no power tools needed” so I can TRY to convince the Hubs to make them (or I can DIY myself)!
BRAVO!
I hope we don’t disappoint!
I was wondering if you made the stool/ottoman that looks like an large spool, I have one and I want to make it into an ottoman and was wondering if you have a tutorial for how you made it. Thanks
Hi Karin,
Yupper, we made the ottoman as part of Crafting With The Stars last fall. Here’s the tutorial: http://akadesign.ca/?p=5492.

Hi Shannon! Would you mind if I did a post on your bookshelves? They are just amazing and I was hoping to share on my blog if you don’t mind?
Absolutely! Thank you for asking!
These look great with the traditional style armoire. I wouldn’t have thought so before I saw this, though. I’m new to your site and look forward to visiting often. You’re home reflects amazing talent. You can be VERY proud.
Thank you, Kathie! It’s a neat contrast, isn’t it?
