Patio table

I knew I had to make this the first time I saw the plans! It was super easy to make, I will definitely be making more of these. :)
I used duck cloth for the sling and embroidered a nautical design on the front.

I loved the plans, they were perfect~ hope to make more!

Well this was our first project and we made a few mistakes but we are thrilled with how they came out!

I built this bed for my daughter and we decided to build a farmhouse bed but it didn’t stop there.. We added a barn door feel complete with handles and then we bought some vintage wall sconces and turned them into lights for the headboard. 

I drew up the plan and built it with my sister. The drawers are fake, all of them are swing doors. Even though it's not perfect, I think it turned out great given that we built it in my sister's small city apartment.

At dinner a couple of nights ago with a good friend and his wife she commented that she really needed a stool of some sort for her older kid to stand on at the bathroom sink. Well that need became the next quest for me. I really savor trying to fill a need quickly and successfully. It took a few hours from the scrap pile to put the stool together and it appears from the picture that it was a success.

I deviated from the plan just a little by adding stiffeners on the four legs just because I did not like the direction of the wood grain and felt they might break off with enough lateral force.

If I build another stool of this type I think I would hinge the top step to give access to a small storage compartment. Should be easy to do and could add some versatility to the stool's function.

My wife has been wanting this project for months. Had to shorten the size to fit our wall. Thank you Ana for such easy to follow guidelines.  

Good plans and easy to follow directions.

I LOVE my new patio table and benches. They came out great, and I hope they hold up for several years with the waterproofing stain I used.

I built this Farmhouse Queen Bed & Kentwood Night Stand for my Granddaughter. She loves it !

Hi friends!
 

Jen Woodhouse here, sharing this adorable summer project with you! I'm in the mood for all things outdoor, so I thought I'd share this build I created last year. This Kids Outdoor Double Lounge Chair made my kiddos so happy. They spend a ton of time at the pool and this Lounge Chair offers them a little bit of shade, and cup holders too for their drinks! 

Be sure to tag me @jenwoodhouse if you share photos of your build on social media.

You can get all the details and the plans for this build on JenWoodhouse.com!

Schedule

This is the first project that i completed. I made a few minor changes. I used a Kreg jig to fix the shelves into the book cases. I also wanted the top of the desk to be thicker so i glued and screwed two pieces of 3/4 hardwood ply together and finished the edges. I then added heavy drawer slides to handle the drawers as i had made them larger.

I adjusted the height of the armoire to 72 inches. It was a little tricky getting the doors to hang straight. I blame the new driveway; we just moved into a new house with a sloped driveway (our old one was super flat). I got the hardware at Lowe's. I also added a block of wood at the top, on the inside, to mount the door catches. I mounted them on the top and bottom on both doors, so four catches total. That really helped with the way the doors looked when closed.

I have only one small bathroom in my house built in 1946. I couldn't find a vanity on the market that was big enough or small enough to fit, so I built my own based on a design from the Decor and the Dog blog page.

This is my take on the Narrow Farm House Table.  Only Fifty-two inches by thirty-two Finished with a flat red base and Jacobean stained top with an over coat of oil based polyurethane.  If I were to do this project again I would consider cutting in an arc on the long side stretcher.  I did taper the legs in both directions so it dosen’t appear to be too chunky.  Corner braces were installed and I didn’t add a stretcher since the overall length was shortened.
