Click To Tweet  I’ll have links to each of their outdoor spaces at the end of this post but for now I have a lot of pictures to share so let’s go!

DIY Outdoor Herb Shelf

May 22, 2016 by Patti 17 Comments

Sometimes in my wanderings I come across some amazing piece of junk that I decide I simply MUST have.  Hubby goes right along with, even encourages my obsession for this chippy, shabby stuff. 

Outdoor Shelf a It’s not that he is overly fond of my purchases himself but he loves me and is therefore most willing to indulge my Old Things New habit.  Still . . . sometimes I can’t help but wonder if he isn’t compensating for the fact that his “stuff” is a whole lot more expensive than mine.  Things like electronic gadgets, fancy tools, more fishing poles, . . . boats.  Is it wrong of me to question his motives?  Shhh . . . we won’t tell him because we LIKE his generosity.  We kinda’ like the boat too.

Outdoor Shelf 001This weathered old corbel was one of those must-haves.  I didn’t have any idea how I’d use it or where, so it has been moving from room to room, inside and out, until this Spring when we started pulling our backyard deck area together and making it into a “French Courtyard.”  That’s when the idea bell went off in my head and an Outdoor Herb Shelf was born.

Outdoor Shelf 002After a couple coats of black outdoor spray paint to match my patio set they were just like new.

Outdoor Shelf 003Since our house is brick, hubby used special concrete screws to hang the corbels on.

Outdoor Shelf 002aWe added a piece of leftover plywood for the shelf . . .

Outdoor Shelf 004. . . and I painted the shelf with a medium grey colored paint . . .

Outdoor Shelf 003a. . . followed by a wash of a lighter grey for effect.  I don’t know what the effect is but it sounds good right?

Outdoor Shelf 002cI felt that the edge of the board could use some embellishment to make it “Frenchier” so I did an online search and found the Frank Morrow Company who sells decorative metal banding by the foot.

Outdoor Shelf 005After spray painting the banding to match the corbels I used some cut tacks to attach them to my board.

Outdoor Shelf 006I’m not sure what these tacks are meant to be used for but I found them in the garage and they were black so I thought they were perfect.  I suppose hubby has them for some other, more expensive, purpose.

Outdoor Shelf 007The metal banding was fairly easy to cut with metal snips and the angles were made by hand bending them over the edge of the board, then stepping on the bend to make a sharper edge.  With shoes of course.

Outdoor Shelf 016So here are several shots of my shelf.

Outdoor Shelf fI have a few fresh herbs displayed along with some other decorative, thrifted items.

Outdoor Shelf 017This super simple project can be done with thrift store corbels or new wooden corbels from any hardware store.

Quick and easy projects like this one make me happy and a happy wife makes a happy hubby.

What outdoor projects are you doing this Spring?

Blessings friends 😉
