To finish off my bathroom remodel I built the Martina wall shelf. I reused the metal hook that was previously on my wall before the board and batten treatment. It fit perfectly in the space under the shelf meant for hooks. I wish I had measured out my towels and storage needs. I could have actually stored more if I had adjusted the plans to make the shelf a little deeper and a couple inches wider. Overall, I'm very pleased! The Kreg Jig is a fun little tool, too!

This was a fun easy to do project that can be done in a day.

I saw the "Easy DIY Garage Workbench" plans and got motivated for a little garage organization.

My husband and I redid my Aunt's kitchen.  She has no storage, hardly any counter space and her kitchen was cluttered.  So we painted, put up beadboard and trim, plus added storage.  We took the console table plan and modified it to fit what she needed.  We raised the height to 39" tall and made two tables for the "L" shape storage.  She absolutely loves her kitchen!  

I made this chair for my two-year old niece so she can sit at the table like a big girl. We call it the "Share Chair" because she has to share it with her two sisters. It was fairly easy to make; I think I spent more time painting it.

I saw these beds featured in a Sherwin Williams paint mini magazine, fell in love w the idea, and customized them to work for my daughter's room. She loves them! Thx Ana White!!

I wanted to make something for my daughter Jaclyn and her significant other Sam for their new condo that would bring memories to the table each and every time they sat at it with memories that would last a lifetime. This was perfect. I made it in a week and was ready just before they moved into their new condo. The top is a slab of maple and the frame is pine 2x4's. I deviated by using a 4x4 center post on each side of the pedestal. I used my keg jig to hide the hole in various places. I used chains, a hammer and nails to distress the top.

I love how the 2 tone turned out!!!

This project was a lot of fun and didn't take very long. Already thinking of making another one with different color finish.

First project for upcoming annual craft show. Guessed on cost as we bought 2x6s and 2x12s on clearance and ripped them down ourselves for a cost savings. Used beadboard for the chalkboard because I got a slightly damaged 4'x8' sheet for just $3.95. Have to say that it's not the smoothest so I'd definitely go with something like luann next time. Still cute!

That last picture shows the second batch I made for the following year. I modified the plan to simplify it for me and use less materials by making it just one-sided.

I made this nightstand and one other for my bedroom. I used 1x2's for the door and diamond willow for the handles. :)

I absolutely love how this coffee and end table set have completed my living room. Each one took me about a day to complete and $80 or less!! Excellent, detailed plans resulting in a gorgeous piece. Thank you! 

I loved working on this easy upholstered bench. It was so much fun and so simple. I followed the plan except I raised the bench to 20 inches, because my husband and I are quite tall. I also wrapped the fabric underneath about 1/2 inch and stapled it so it has a tighter look. Thanks for the plans Ana!

After finishing the farmhouse queen bed, I was eager to start another project. I needed bedside tables and I came across plans for the mini farmhouse bedside tables. After the building the first one, the second one went much quicker. Very happy with the results :)

Super easy project. Both tables matched almost identical. Buying wood from Home Cheapo/Nowes makes it a little tougher because they aren't as straight as they should be, but a little sanding never hurt. Plan on making a few more for the other rooms.
