you mention “patina”, do you mean blue/green or black/brown? the copper you used is not coated to prevent tarnish? I have had copper shelves like these in mind for a while, yours are beautiful … I plan to use gas pipe for the supports

Love these!! I am falling hard for copper right now, and these are a GREAT DIY project! Thanks for putting this tutorial out for all of us. 🙂

I love love love these shelves! I tried to convince my husband to let me do copper counter tops in my laundry room recently but after researching maintenance it seemed a little more than I wanted to keep up with. Did Basic Copper have any tips for maintenance? Of course I would be okay with them looking old and vintage-y too, though! I showed this to my husband and informed him since we didn’t do the counters in copper he will have to help me make these shelves! Thanks for the tutorial and source information. I love when I visit a pin and everything I need to know is actually there!! I have visited your site several times following pins and I really enjoy all your projects.

Hey, love this. How much did this cost you to do, roughly? I know costs vary so much… But just for an idea. Thanks!

Love this, would suit my modern townhouse entryway! The copper is quite pricey, you must have used quite a bit for the 3 shelves. Do you think it would look completely cheesey to spray paint with copper? Maybe even add the little nails? The entry has a black tile floor, white walls, and natural maple steps leading upstairs from that entry to the main floor. Maybe leaving the shelves natural would be good???
