In January 2025, I built some wooden shelves for my living room. They were super simple to make. I just bought picket fence boards, some hardware, and stain. I cut down the boards with my circular saw, sanded the boards, then stained them brown to match some other woods in my apartment. I forgot to take photos of raw materials or along the way so I’m only including the final product.

Shown on the shelf: Top shelf has two framed photos of my great-grandfather in Iowa. Bottom shelf has my film camera and a plant.
