Sure, it might be the most expensive cucumber I’ll ever eat 🤣 but something about growing it yourself just makes it taste like victory!

We were all set for a fun night at the ballpark, until the skies opened up. After sitting in the truck for an hour waiting out the rain, we made a game-time decision: skip the soggy seats and go find a good meal instead. And honestly? Zero regrets. They ended up canceling the game after the first inning anyway 🤷‍♀️
No Austin Riley sighting this time, but we still had the best weekend, especially after tackling the @virginiacreepertrail on Friday! Sometimes the best memories are the ones you don’t plan for 😉

How To Make A DIY Floating Wood Shelf For Your Kitchen

If you’re looking for a quick and easy DIY project, then this post is for you! I had some leftover wood laying around from a previous project, and figured I could put it to good use for something else. So I am going to show you just how to make a DIY floating wood shelf for your kitchen today!

It is beyond easy and doesn’t require much work or effort to build. And the end result is perfect! You will have a cute little display shelf that sits right above your oven. So you can display all kinds of cute little trinkets or vintage kitchen items you like!

I wasn’t too sure of how I would like the shelf once it was complete, but once I set it on the stove and started decorating it, I fell in love! It is such a cute and simple idea to give your kitchen a more personalized and custom touch to it! Keep on reading for my full step-by-step instructions on how to make this cute floating shelf!

Finished DIY Floating Shelf

What Is The Best Wood To Use For DIY Floating Shelves?

As I mentioned above, I already had most of the supplies needed for this project. I had some leftover wood from Weaber Lumber, which y’all may remember we created a shiplap wall downstairs with this beautiful wood. So I thought it would be perfect to just reuse some of those pieces instead of buying new lumber for no reason.

Leftover Wood For Shelf
Linking the Weaber Lumber below:

Really, any kind of wood or lumber would work just fine for this project. The goal here was to just reuse and repurpose some leftover wood I had, so it doesn’t need to be too fancy. Plus, you can always stain the wood after to match your color preference more!

But, the good thing about Weaber Lumber is that the wood is already stained, so I didn’t even have to worry about that part! Which makes this easy DIY ultimately more simple, if that’s even possible!

Materials Needed For DIY Floating Wood Shelf
All the materials needed for this project.

The only thing we needed to purchase was coarse thread drywall screws (6×1 1/4″). Which you can easily pickup at Home Depot or your local hardware store. Other than the wood and screws, the only other items you need are a tape measure, drill, circular saw, and some wood stain. So as you can see from this list, the supplies are really minimal!

Measure Your Shelf Space

The first thing you need to do is obviously measure your space where you want to place this DIY floating shelf at. Like I mentioned above, we placed ours on the stove as a little display shelf. So I just measured the dimensions of that area to be sure I had the correct measurements.

Sawing Wood For Shelf
Sawing the wood for the shelf!

Then, using the tape measure I marked out where to cut the wood with the saw. We just used a total of two pieces of wood for this shelf. One for the bottom and one for the back to make it like an L shaped shelf. 

​How Do You Make A Quick Floating Shelf?

​Now, for the fun part! Let’s put this easy DIY floating shelf together! It’s going to blow your mind with how easy it is! All you need to do is use the drill bit to mark out where your holes need to be for the screws. You will do this on your lower or bottom piece of the shelf. 

Drilling Into Shelf
Drilling into the wood pieces here.

​Then, using a nail gun, attach the bottom piece of the wood to the side piece of the wood. Using the holes already marked in the wood to guide you! How easy is that?! I suppose you could also use wood glue to adhere the back piece of wood to the bottom one, but I don’t think that would be as sturdy as nailing them together.

Making the DIY Floating Wood Shelf
Making The Wood Shelf

​The next step to these wood shelves is to just apply the finishing touches! I noticed that the side pieces of the wood where we cut it with the saw were still unfinished at didn’t match the original color of the wood.

Nailing The Shelf Together
Nail in Shelf

To solve this problem, I simply used my favorite Danish Oil Stain in Special Walnut! We just applied a little to a cloth and rubbed it into the sides to match the color better!

​Style The DIY Floating Shelf

Well, now that you have built your shelf, here comes the final step, styling it! If you wanted to mount them to a wall in your kitchen, you definitely could. You would just need to use a stud finder to find the wall studs and nail them in that way. These would make some great simple and easy wall shelves for your kitchen for sure!

Styling Floating Shelf

​But, since I am just placing this shelf right on top of my stove, I don’t have to worry about that. The only thing I wouldn’t do here when styling this shelf is put items on there with much weight. Since it isn’t mounted to the wall or anything, you don’t want it to fall over. 

DIY Stove Floating Shelf

This shelf is the perfect fit for right above the oven. It gives our kitchen a more modern look and it is such a great solution for small spaces like this area. If you want to add in a custom touch to your kitchen, you should definitely try making this floating shelf yourself too!

Wide Angle View of Floating Shelf

I just styled it with some cute little Rae Dunn pieces I already had, as well as some cute, decorative measuring cups. I wanted it to be pretty, but also functional. It provides extra storage for me when I am cooking, and I can just easily reach up and grab the salt and pepper if I need it!

How to Make DIY Floating Stove Shelf
Pin for Later!

​I hope you enjoyed this easy shelf project and as you can see, you can easily make one too with some basic tools and materials! I think this is one of the easiest methods you can use to create a DIY floating shelf too!
