A while back I created a plant propagation clock and it was so much fun! Unfortunately I found myself needing to switch it out. My toddler insisted on using the propagation tubes as drink shooters. It just wasn’t prudent to leave the clock up with her having access to the glass and small magnets. I decided it would be best if I tied the breakfast nook into the kitchen. When I renovated the kitchen I installed white oak floating shelves on either side of the sink. They are so gorgeous in my kitchen and I wanted something just as gorgeous in the breakfast nook.

Install Floating Shelves to Bring the Breakfast Nook and Kitchen Together

I ended up ordering the same shelves that I have in the kitchen to hang in the breakfast nook. Ultrashelf has these amazing white oak shelves (I chose the color antique oak). One of the things I love about these shelves is that they are super sturdy, easy to install, and beautiful.

Ultrashelf sends the shelves with everything you need, shelf, bracket, and hardware. Luckily when my shelves were centered on the wall I was able to use wood screws to install the brackets on the studs. I used my stud finder to find the studs and then my stud buddy to mark the studs while I was screwing the bracket to the wall.

In the instance that I couldn’t sink the screws into a stud I used a good quality drywall anchor to secure the bracket to the wall. Once I was confident that the bracket was installed securely I simply slipped the shelf onto the bracket and was done. So simple and such a quick install.

The Most Gorgeous Shelves

These shelves are showstoppers. They really are so stunning and so easy to install. Once they were up I couldn’t wait to add my favorite plant babies and decor. Thankfully, these babies don’t drink my decor. This location is perfect for plants because it gets plenty of indirect sunlight. I love the way that the breakfast nook shelves are tied in with the kitchen now. Ultrashelf make the best shelves for locations where you really want them to last.
