Galvanized pipe shelving is super-popular with homeowners who love the modern rustic look, for the same reason Chip and Jo love the shelving style: It's easy to build, inexpensive to create and adds industrial style to virtually any space, from a living room to a kitchen to a bathroom.
I used
galvanized fittings to make budget friendly drapery panel hardware in my family room and the breakfast room in my kitchen went from blah to wow with the addition of open
shelves, using plumbing parts for
shelf brackets and by using pvc
pipes for very cost effective bay window hardware.
