We took the plan from Ana and instead of the wood X's on the sides, we changed it to rope. We stained it a dark brown so this just gave it some more dimension... we love it!!
Estimated Time Investment
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used
Miniwax gel stain in hickory, top coat was miniwax polyacrylic in satin so there wasn't a gloss or color change. Spray painted the hardware in a matte black dorm rustoleum.
