12. Shabby Chic Distressed Window Frame Shelf
Upcycling enthusiasts will fall in love with a shelf crafted from an antique, distressed window frame. For this creative design, an old wooden window frame is mounted flat against the wall above the washer and dryer, and a sturdy wooden shelf is attached to its base. The peeling paint, visible wood grain, and vintage hardware of the window frame bring immense character and story to the room. You can even leave the glass panes intact to reflect light, or replace them with chicken wire for a more rustic, country-cottage feel. This shelf is perfect for displaying vintage washboards, antique iron collectibles, and mason jars filled with wildflowers.
