Basic Collection

By far my most favorite part of doing what I do is promoting the idea that anything is possible, if you are willing to work hard enough at it.  I've always been a person that thinks how do I? instead of can I? - meaning everything is obtainable, it's just a matter of figuring out the how.

For most of us, myself included, being able to afford a $3,000 media suite is a distant dream, far behind our daily needs of diapers, dog food and possibly, dinner at a nice restaurant on special occasions.  Who can justify spending that much, when kids need shoes and you could really use a good hairstyle?  I certainly never could.  So we saved and put our tv on the floor, thinking maybe someday.

But then I learned how easy it is to build something.  Don't forget, furniture was built by hand long before it was built by factories. This collection, inspired by Pottery Barn's Printer Collection, is amazingly easy to build.  And because it's modular, you can add as you go, build one piece at a time.  Or reuse the pieces in an office, in the dining room, even in your bedroom.

You totally got this one! DIY Open Hutch Plans Inspired by Pottery Barn's Printer Collection

Oh, yeah - the new blog hopefully will be uploaded soon, so don't be alarmed if you check back on Monday and things look a little different.

Hi! Your new website looks great! I'm having trouble finding the "cubby media wall" storage hutch system, inspired by PB. Could you please point me in the right direction? I can't wait to make all kinds of your projects! Thanks for sharing the plans!

Hi Ana. I am trying to download all the plans for the Printer collection in preparation for when I get to the point of starting to make them. I downloaded in PDF format the open base with no prob. As I am not a facebook person, Scribd' is not being very friendly to me with allowing me to download this hutch in PDF. Is there some way that you can keep the option for downloading in PDF format w/o having to go through Scribd'? Thanks Ana!

Hello Anna,
I have downloaded the open base and would like to download the plans for this hutch to build them in the same weekend, however scribd wants me to pay for a membership in order to download the full plans... am I missing something?
