After choosing a place to hang the shelves and deciding how far apart they needed to be (I just eyeballed it by holding a record up against the drywall), I used our stud finder to find one stud to drill into. I was hopeful that the new wall-mounted display beside the player would encourage us to use it more frequently, and the good news is that, so far, it’s working!īut I’m getting ahead of myself, as usual.

The console below the machine is full of board games and other random things, so we don’t have room in there for records. I’ve noticed that we’ve been really bad about pressing ‘Play’ on the record player lately because we didn’t have a good spot nearby to keep records before. It was the perfect place for the shelves since we actually keep a record player right there on the cabinet. We ended up purging a bunch of stuff from the built-in console in our family room, which left us with an open spot on the wall for my leaning records display. Start by choosing a blank wall for the shelves. I did it all by myself one Sunday morning, so trust me when I say that this is definitely the type of project that you can cross off your list with minimal stress.

If you couldn’t tell from the appearance of today’s post and post title, I finally made it happen, and I’m here to share the details for hanging one in your space. Ever since spotting this image of a DIY wall-mounted records display on Pinterest, I’d hoped to find a free afternoon to knock out my own version.
