I found this shelving unit from a storefront that was going out of business. But it could be easily built!
I just sanded it down and added some simple touches so that we could display all of our mugs!
What I used:
3 Sheets of Black Felt
A Little Paint
6 Brackets
I had the thought of gluing down some felt on the shelves so that 1. the wood did not get wet from some sneaky water droplets, and 2. that we could put mugs upside-down without fear!
But instead of gluing it, I just placed them there. BECAUSE the raw wood gripped onto the felt pretty well, so I had the foresight to leave it removable in case you wanted to wash it!
I just chose a font to paint my little handmade sign on top with a very small paint brush.
The brackets were the best way to hang this up because it was going to be a little heavier! (You can see them in this photo.) You just place 2 brackets on each shelf screwing them into both the bottom of the shelf, and the wall! It holds more weight that way and puts less pressure on the wall.
But yeah...that's it. It really was super simple. We set up our Keurig outside of the kitchen so we had more room on a little corner stand for it.
We love the idea of having mismatched dinnerware including mugs! That way you can display all those fun patterned mugs you find that don't match the rest of your plates :)
ENJOY!
