I saw the Ana White Farmhouse king bed and used it as inspiration. I made a few modifications and adjusted the measurements to fit a queen bed.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Top is 2x10 KD spuce. Finish is Varathane cherry stain and Varathane semi-gloss poly. This was my first intermediate project. Learned a lot.

I loved the square modern farmhouse table when I saw it, and knew I wanted to use it as an end table in our living room. I had this really awkward space that my couches created when their corners met. It had been filled by 4 TV trays acting as a larger end table--all I did was cover it with a table cloth to disguise what it really was! ;)

I have a coffee table that is similar looking (with a slated top) so I knew it would compliment it! I may still go back and repaint it to something a little more colorful or to make the white more crisp, but overall I love it!

The table is very heavy and sturdy! At the time I built this, I was under the impression our local Home Depot didn't carry pine boards, so I bought Douglas Fir instead (turns out they do carry pine, they just have it in a different section). Definitely increased the cost a bit, but I have no regrets.

It took me about a week to put together, but I also work outside the home. Had I had a whole weekend to devote to it, I think it would have been done in one or two days.

I made this for my daughter this year for Christmas. I’m pretty proud of how it turned out.

My husband and I finished our first project together.  It was odd having him around in the garage, but I tried to not freak out too bad.  He was so excited, until we were about three hours into sanding.  Little did he know, that I would be sanding all week long.  He spent the rest of the time busy after that.  :)

The project went smoothly.  I think that the headboard is a little low even after I lowered the bed frame by removing the wheels.  I am going to need to build leg extension, but will just enjoy the headboard for a while as is.

This bed lifts up so that my son RJ has a desk big enough for him and his friends.  A large piece of plexiglass serves as a smooth service and a great place to store his music, art, and whatever he is working on at the moment.
