When we replaced our old wooden fence, I salvaged a lot of it to use for projects.  I really enjoy finding things to use the posts and pickets for.  One of my favorite things that I created was a mirror.

I have this little white laminate shelf.  It is very plain.  I decided to use some of my leftover pickets from our old fence to dress it up a little bit.  I also wanted to be able to store more books at the time.  So I used the pickets as a way to give the shelf a second level. I trimmed the pickets to the height that I wanted. Then I just tacked on the pickets with some small nails.

How do you like it?  Since laminate shelves are not very strong, I cut an extra piece of wood to brace the shelf from underneath.  That kept the shelf from bowing under the weight of the books.

Here is the same shelf in a different location– and empty.

I love being able to display things on its “second story” when I want to. I like the charm that these pickets give to this shelf.  It is almost like that farmhouse look that is so popular right now.

AFTER!
