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 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 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.
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!

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,
