The one wooden shelf was fine, but the other wire shelves were a struggle. Cookbooks fell through, small objects would wobble and anything with legs or feet just wouldn't sit on it. I considered giving up and tossing the whole thing out. After some thought maybe new wood shelving could be more suitable. BUT, I do like tile and this was not a work-space, only storage or display. So there ended my wire shelf dilemma:
 |
| Before and After |
 |
| Not so friendly wire shelving |
 |
Some boards cut to fit, with some new tiles and left overs from the kitchen tile job, some glue, left over grout, and polyurethane.
|
 |
| Two top shelves |
 |
| Two bottom shelves |
 |
A little black enamel paint all around the edges of the boards to blend in with the black iron
|
 |
| Usable shelves. |
1. Measure shelving areas
2. Cut plywood or particle board for each shelf
3. Layout tile design
4. Glue the tiles to the board/shelves
5. Grout
6. Clean well from grouting material
7. Paint all edges of the boards to conceal
8. Polyurethane surfaces for easy wiping and dusting
9. Slide into place
