You lost me here. Do you mean like temporarily brace it while you install the permanent brackets? For a few bucks, you could have just built a rigged up 2x4 brace system underneath, built to the desired height of the shelf and layed the shelf on it while you installed the brackets.
Or you can get a few buddies on ladders and tell them to hold it (bribe them with beer or something, this is what I do when I need to something crazy like that)
But as Steve expanded on, this really is a great idea if it can match the decor and style of the room.
