Pretty Please Help Me Find These Shelves

The stark contrast of these natural wood shelves against a white wall has always left an impression on me. It's such a clean, rustic look, and I've thought about recreating a similar scene in my own home.

Then I saw the exact same thing in my local Starbucks - excuse the blurry iPhone photo - and now I'm convinced. I need this! Two short reclaimed wooden shelves with white pottery pieces stacked on top to nestle above my kitchen sink. Oh so good.

So readers, anyone have a suggestion or source for where I can find something similar? I'm clearly not looking in the right places nor do I know what to Google search. Help!

UPDATE: I'm an idiot.
So it turns out West Elm has exactly what I'm looking for! Mission accomplished. But if you are interested in this look, a few readers gave some great tips in the comment section. Thanks for everyone's help!

    Ikea has some good wood shelve similar to these! And they're not too expensive

    I used these with a client:

    Also this shop has unfinished shelves that can easily be stained/distressed.

    I love the way it looks, but I have no idea where to get them! Crate and Barrel?

    They are beautiful pieces! You'd think it wouldn't be so tricky to find reclaimed wood. Maybe you could find an old piece and deconstruct it?

    do you have local salvage stores near you? buy some old wood - even floor boards. even find a local carpenter and ask if he can do it. Might even be cheaper and a much more custom look. - BOO

    WE bought cheap cheap pine and made a rustic coffee table when we first moved into our house. It looks really similar to these shelves. There is great resources out there for staining cheap cheap pine, it takes a lot of steps but it's worth it in the end!
