Hey guys,

I am extremely new to the DIY world, so I do apologize in advance for my less than sound questions.

I am renovating the living room and looking to install planks of wood on each side of the fireplace to be used as bookshelves.

The final project would look something like this:

However - I am looking to do this without installing the outer wooden structure, meaning I will only be installing the horizontal planks of wood directly into the brick fireplace on one side, the structural wall on the backside, and a dry wall on the other side.

What bracket could I use so that the bracket itself is well hidden? An idea I had would be to use those floating shelves hidden bracket mount. But that doesn't seem smart since I'm only using 1 side of the wall for load bearing, and not fully utilizing all 3 walls.

Any suggestions? Links to sites that sell the correct bracket would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks.
