Looking for a super-simple kitchen island project, that's also affordable? For about $25, you can build this easy island inspired from the Clara's Table plans. Preferably you'd use a Kreg jig to hide the holes, but if you intend to paint it, then you should have no problem building it the easy way and just filling in your holes.Keep your costs down by choosing furring strips for your 1x2's and buying the cheap whitewood boards.

My daughter decided she wanted a trundle to store things for her doll (and in case her doll wants to have a sleepover).  The regular plan doesn't leave enough space under the bed to allow for a trundle, so I modified it by making two headboards and making the bed a little longer.  The Trundle is a simple box with ball bearing casters on the bottom. 

Inspired by vintage soda crates, this flatware caddy was made from reclaimed food pallets.  You can make this crate with new boards too.  This easy project features a sturdy handle and four cubbies, suitable for bottles, gardening tools, or even a wedding centerpiece.
