Easy Gallery Wall Picture Ledges

These Picture ledges were super easy to build, and they made such a huge statement in our living room. I like how these picture ledges allow me to freely switch around my pictures without creating any extra nail holes, or worry about messing up a whole wall arrangement.

For this project I went to Lowes and picked up three 8 foot long boards; one 1 X 4 and two 1 X 2's. I then had Lowes cut the wood at 5 1/2 feet with the remainder being
2 1/2 feet. Total cost was about $11.00





To assemble my ledge, I used wood glue and glued 1 of the 1 X 2's onto the 1 X 4 and the second 1 X 2 was glued to the front of the 1 X 4 (see picture below). After it was glued together I secured it with screws.





Next, I stained the wood giving it a weathered look.





I used really long screws to attach the ledges to the wall.





Once the ledges were hung, I filled them up with some of my favorite pictures.
