where did you purchase your brackets for the floating shelves?

Did you apply the dark walnut stain immediately after the briarsmoke or did you let briarsmoke dry first and then apply dark walnut?
jennifer@thecraftpatchblog.com says
I didn't wait between coats.
Linda says
I purchased the Briarsmoke but it turn out to be solid gray . Did I did something wrong ? It didn’t turn out like yours
Jennifer says
I applied a very thin coat. Maybe that was it?
Monica says
Did you sand it after you stain the final coat? Or did you just finished by adding the poly?
Jennifer says
I did not sand after staining. I just added the matte polycrylic

What backsplash is that? We’re looking for some and love this.

Hello! Thanks for your helpful information. Just wondering- how many inches of space are between the bottom and top open shelves. I was thinking of 12.5″ for my 2 open shelves but not sure if I should space them out more. I like the spacing between your two shelves. Thank you!
Jennifer says
My shelves have about 12 inches between them, so it sounds like you are right on track!
Jen says
How much weight can these handle? I am wanting open shelves but worry they won’t be able to handle much.
Jennifer says
I have never even felt my shelves budge even a tiny bit and I have piled them high with dishes and decorations. I am sure it depends on how long the boards are and if you properly secure the metal brackets into the studs, but I feel pretty confident you won’t have a problem if you follow the manufacturer’s suggestions.
