"Pipe Shelf as DIY based idea"

Hardware Store Decor. Could there be anything better? I think not, especially when I see things like Michelle’s gorgeous hotel-inspired plumbing pipe shelf. (That’s right, I used ‘plumbing’ and ‘gorgeous’ in the same sentence.) The best part about the project is that she tells us how she made it. Here’s the list of supplies:

Baltic Birch Plywood
12 – 1/2″ Galvanized 90 Degree Elbows
8 – 1/2″ Galvanized “T”s
