DIY // How to Build A Shaker Peg Shelf
THE FARMHOUSE
Since building the Porch House kitchen’s shaker peg shelves, we’ve been asked for a tutorial more times than I can count. So when we built something similar for the Farmhouse laundry room, we made sure to document the process. And today we’re bringing you a DIY tutorial. Read on for how to build a shaker peg shelf (or just the shelf part if you want to skip the shaker pegs 😉).

If you didn’t already know, we’re big fans of these shaker peg shelves. We’ve used them at both the Farmhouse and Porch House in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, and closets. They’re inexpensive, functional, and easy to build. Which is why we keep using them over and over again!
