Here is an interview Triton Tools did with me: • Meet the Maker, April ...
Before making these DIY floating shelves for the corner in my living room, I was forced to deal with that old shelving unit. This DIY shelving unit really helps to break up the space in the corner and was a very fun DIY living room project. Although I show DIY molding on each shelf, this project could be easily replicated using an over the counter mold.

Not a mistake on the molding, you just did a custom design job that was fluid. Excellent work there April the shelves came out real nice in that corner. I love that you take credit for any errors you run into as it might just help someone just getting started to see that we all do things just like that and the sun still comes up the next day, no big deal, fix it and continue on with a lesson learned.

The floating shelves really do create an open space with visual breathing room, while a free standing shelf would feel crowded. You made a very good interior design solution. As for the molding, solving problems is far more important than avoiding mistakes. It will turn out great.

April! This may seem like a backhanded compliment, but I assure you I mean it with the highest respect: I LOVE that you actually chronicle your mistakes as well as your successes instead of editing or omitting them from the video. I find that no matter the complexity or simplicity of whatever project I'm working on, I always end up making little mistakes here and there and I think especially for DIY'ers that watch instructional type videos online...there are too many videos that you just know omit that footage to save face. It's refreshing and shows just how steadfast your humility and problem solving capabilities are. As always, lovely work!

Nice job April , don't let the mistake on the molding bug you too much , we all make them. Look at as a plan change and problem to solve in the project . Like how you solved the problem of not having enough material for the wider shelves . I have a big molding bit like that and never used it but this video gives me ideas and the courage ( yeah the huge bit scares me ) to try it out .

Way to go, girl. Love the asymmetrical shelves. It speaks to your creativity. If you do it right, (and you clearly have) the result is much better than a plain old symmetrical setup. Nicely done.
@AprilWilkerson 8 жыл бұрын
: ) Actually, they are symmetrical. That right wall is longer then the left. I went back and forth several times on whether to make the shelves compensate for this difference or not but decided to have the shelves stay the same length and have extra wall on the right. I'm glad you think it looks nice!

Nice work april. One thing to help with your caulking. If you drag your index finger at the tip of the caulking tube behind it as you apply the caulking it makes a nice clean bead that is easy to do with no waste of extra caulking.

Cool shelves, April! Gave me a couple ideas. I guess I never attempted them because I was always fixated on mounting fully-constructed floating shelves by shoving them onto protruding dowel pins (which means achieving a nearly-impossible alignment between the dowel holes in the wall and their counterparts in the shelf), as you might do with mounting a slab for a shelf. Your approach of mounting a partially-constructed shelf using screws, then attaching the remaining skin afterward, was one of those, "Oh! Yeah! " moments for me..... :)
