DIY Hanging Chain Shelves

I purchased an Ikea chest from the thrift store. I wanted to update the chest for a boy's room. I attached wood flooring to the drawers after I stained the floor pieces.

I finally made a  diy hanging chain shelf like I have been wanting for my son’s room.

I have been wanting to makeover his bedroom for a while, but I knew that would require me to have to deep clean his room, and that would require me to have to look under his bed, and I really do not want to look under his bed.  Well, I bit the bullet, went in and conquered! 

I made these shelves by drilling holes and running chains through the holes.

I wanted to add shelves over his chest, but I wanted something different. I am so blessed to have the best husband ever.  If I can’t think of what to use for a project, I go to him.  He went with me to Home Depot, and we walked around until he found all the supplies to make the shelves hang with chains. This DIY project is totally his.
   I drilled holes in the shelves and ran chains through the holes to hang the shelves.

I used some boards that we already had to save money. After we drilled holes in the boards, and ran the chains through the holes, we secured the chains with a U bolt clamp. 

I drilled holes in the shelves and ran chains through the holes to hang the shelves.

Now that his room is clean and I have updated most of it, I think the bed is too light for the room. “Oh sleigh bed, my paint brush and I will be coming after you tomorrow!” The newly painted bed will look great with the diy hanging chain shelves.

    I love these! I have 2 boys and totally feel your pain on looking under the bed. ugh. But this room looks like it could be in a model home. Can’t wait to see what you do with the bed! Thanks for sharing at Your Inspired Design!

    I love these shelves, Sherry! I could even see myself putting them in my office. The shiny metal would hopefully reflect light. Even small reflections count since I have no windows in the office!

    I love the deep color of the wood. It looks so classic! Also, this is such a great rustic feel. I think the chains look cool for a boys room. I can’t wait to see how the repainted bed turns out!

    Sherry, what a great idea, especially for a boy’s room. I can very easily see adding these shelves to my teen son’s room. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Wishing you a wonderful weekend .

    Sherry,
    I absolutely love this idea! I wish I would have had this idea before completing my son’s room! Hmmm… I’m saving it for the next do-over, though!
    You do such amazing work and are so creative!
    Blessings and smiles,
    Lori

    These shelves are awesome! My son would love to have them in his room. Off to the home improvement store to gather supplies! Thanks for sharing at Inspiration Thursday.
