DIY "brass" gallery/tipping rail for a shelf (for way less!).
I've loved the look of these delicate brass gallery rails for years! They're usually installed along the front of shallow shelves as a pretty decorative accent, and they prevent items from sliding off the shelf.

You know I love anything brass, especially a beautiful little detail like these posts and rails. I knew I wanted to incorporate them into our basement kitchenette, but the real brass options are not cheap!
I ended up creating my own version that I think looks pretty great, and functions just as well!
