Nail through the sides of A into the header, D, as shown above. Keep top and outside edges flush.
Step 4
Add the front, E, as shown above. Use the 2″ nails to nail through the sides, A,into the edges of E, but use 1 1/4″ nails to nail through the back of E into the back of the header, D.

Cute.
I'm thinking of making both unites as one and hinging the entire front of it. She can use it as a closet for her dress up (princess) clothes.
Ana - I would LOVE to make
