# That'd be poifect.
(actually what I want to do is put shelves up one side of the wall, between the chimney breast and the other wall- www.nzhistory.net.nz/files/images/stories/gg/gg-003.jpg - that's pretty much my living room, you see the far corner? Shelves up that wall's what I'm hoping to do, I'm just a lazy arse)

# pfft.
just a few floating shelves would be nice and not a days work.
If I seriously have the time to pop over to you I'd be happy to.

# You're a love, bless your heart.
I'm barely in these days, during the day though. How easy are floating shelves to put up?

# easy.
run a batten around your 3 wall sides and one in front then you make your shelf that has a top, bottom and face and slide it over your batons then fix. It looks like a solid block of timber with no visible fixing or support.
If you want them totally floating ( not attached at the ends ) which looks a lot better then it is a similar process and easy to do.
