I have an old white standing shelf that i want to break into separate wall-shelf's. Here are some pictures which should depict where I currently stand with my living room and maybe even show some possibilities of what am I able to do with my shelf. Is it a good idea to attach the shelf's to the wall where the painting is?

I don't have any silicon or glue or supporting stands to attach the shelf's to the wall. This is where I also need your help; what's the best way to attach these shelf's to the wall? Bunnings is right around the corner so tell me what should I pick up there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, John.
