trying three different ways to DIY a floating shelf

We wanted to make some shelves to put up in the studio, so we thought it'd be the opportunity to show you three ways to make custom floating shelves that are affordable and pretty easy to do, and who better to show you all than Rochelle, our resident builder! Using construction lumber and some pretty basic hardware and tools, Rochelle goes through these three methods, she will let you know what the pros and cons are to each one so you can pick and choose your favourite! Let us know in the comments what method you would go for!

Rochelle is always so thorough when explaining projects! Love to see her leading her own videos.

[brookeworm]

Shout out to Rochelle for giving me yet another skill to impress my retired-builder grandfather with! 😍

[madameflurrie]

Rochelle gives me confidence that I could do this. She's a great addition to he team

[doublescorpions]

Did you notice Rochelle wearing gloves to avoid splinters, etc. while picking out her lumber? Smart !

[andreanasato]

Who wants to see a Becky&Kelsey vs Rochelle&Rachel diy or styling challenge? Like that one the did with their boyfriends: OG sorry girls vs new sorry girls 🙋🏼‍♂️

[mistyrain]

Rochelle is such a natural teacher. Love this series!

[LukMcKain]

There is something so relaxing and enjoyable about watching an absolute BOSS just work it out. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Slay, Rochelle.

[pmeki]

This format, with the three methods followed by pros and cons? WONDERFUL. Rochelle is doing a great job at making things feel extremely doable, and now I want to put shelves EVERYWHERE

[FangToh]

Rochelle's Kim Possible attire is EVERYTHING 💯

P.S. Could you do a How To Go Do episode on how to use a circular saw please and thank you!

[nottodayalex]

Tip for the first kind of shelf; the LACK shelf from IKEA uses that kind of hardware, but with just one long bracket and several pegs. Meaning, easier install, and they’re most often sold second hand for very cheap ☺️

[shannonsouthard]

Rochelle rocked this- teaching and showing the "why" so that everything made sense! She's very real in how she speaks to the camera, can't wait for more from her!

[barbarybcia]

I love how informative and educational Rochelle’s videos are! Great job as always!

[lorettarenard]

Pro tip - make sure you call the big box store to see if their saws are working before you go - that way you won't be disappointed when you go to purchase the lumber

[bubblegumdftba]

Adding "Mortise" to the list of words that would be cute baby names if they weren't already a word 😂

[Leslie-wbcb]

WOW these are great! They were all new methods to me. I'm from the L bracket generation. 😀

[keniadelacruzz]

wow, another amazing video. I would watch an entire LIVE of Rochelle just explaining everything DIY.

[DarklightAmy]

Ah I love her vibe and how every Sorry Girl has their own take ❤

[ericaromeo]

You hit the nail on the head. "Love the natural light hate the natural sound." In a world where even 10-year-olds get really good camera and sound equipment because they make TikToks it would be really cool if the sorry girls would tackle some easy, efficient, or even inexpensive (?) Soundproofing methods.

The house I bought used to be an asylum and there are a ton of small features built into soundproofing that they clearly needed for the people who here recovering. There's strategic paper on the walls and the thickness of the doors and additional insulation inside the walls. So unless I open a window or stand next to an external door I can't tell I have neighbors. I can't even hear the train go by. But I know that there are easy ways or renter friendly ways right? That seems like a DIY project you could teach us how to do.

i'm such a girl, so just want to say Rochelle's hair is super cute blown out and I didn't realize how long it is. Will always be a fan of the curls but for this video thumbs up

[alexilass]

Rochelle is the best thing that could have happened to this channel. Her content is amazing.
