Slightly changed the plans by adding the exotic wood 'Purpleheart' to the top and drawer fronts.
The tapered legs added some elegance but were very difficult to make, as it was my first time trying it.
I used furniture grade Select Black Label Pine which was costly, but I wanted a good contrast between the white pine and purpleheart.
No stain, just clear lacquer to maximize the color.
The pieces of Purpleheart cost was about $60.00, added to the select pine cost.
This is a great plan that you can modify slightly if you want. We now plan on making a much simpler and smaller one for our bathroom.
This one will probably end up in our living room instead of the bedroom!
Thank You Ana for a great plan!
