Kitchen Cabinet and Floating Shelves
![](/sites/default/files/kitchen%20whitepin.jpeg)
Kitchen cabinets and shelves in our breakfast nook. Our new kitchen does not have enough storage, so I’m creating my own! A matching set is in the works on the other side of the window.

Micro garden
Small shelf for herbs or small flowers. About 12" wide and 7" high. The shelf itself is about 3,5" deep.
The small pots are from the local supermarket, and cost under 1 $ each.
Wood is from old pallets, and mahgoany stain.

Octagon Table
![](/sites/default/files/3154846253_1401593544.jpg)
Really enjoyed making this one. The plan was great but i ran into a few difficulties. The 2x2 trim was the hardest. I settled on 22.5* miter because my saw has a positive stop there and i thought it might be the angle that i needed. Careful as the plan doesn't have much room to experiment unless you want to buy an extra 2x2. If your selection of 2x2 is anything like mine, that could be a huge endeavor. Hard to find a straight board in texas.

Rustoleum Kona
Rustoleum Ultimate Polyurethane in Semi-Gloss x 3 coats. Sanded by hand with 320 in between coats and wetsanded with 600 grit after the final coat and it really came out smooth.

Den/football chair
![](/sites/default/files/chair_2.jpg)
We needed extra seating for friends to come over for football game days, so I took the outdoor chair plans and decided to use it for a den chair. Simple build, but I did add some 1x3 boards on the rails for more comfortable armrests. Add some appropriate color cushions and it's ready for football season! Quick assembly, but as usual, staining and clear-coating took the bulk of the time spent.
Modern tree house
![](/sites/default/files/3219A3AA-B2B7-41CF-82B7-09A68B11E08E.jpeg)
I modified the modern tree house plan and added some safety features for young kids. I did a spiral up ladder enclosed with a mesh net so they can’t fall very far. I also added more siding and put cross bracing in window wells to limit opening size. Finally, a full porch style railing and the main support beams are pinned at one end and have a self designed treehouse sliding bracket to allow for tree movement in the wind.

Modifications
Hi! I know this post was forever ago, but this is exactly how I want the treehouse to be for the my kids! I am trying to see if there was anyway you could show me how you did the modifications! I’d be forever grateful!

Farmhouse Queen Bed
So far we are in absolute love with this bed! It was a easy quick project that was fun to do. Made an adjustment so that we could fit the box spring in the frame. We also used the bed rail brackets from Rockler. http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=11&site=ROCKLER
Bathroom Door Organizer
![](/sites/default/files/3154846347_1401729280.jpg)
I got a miter saw for mother's day this year! This is the first project I made with it. We needed some accessible storage in the bathroom and this works out perfect
I loosely based them on the flat wall bookshelves and made them the right width to fit on the door. I used scrap wood and lathe that we had laying around to make both shelves.

Helmsman Spar Urethane - Semi-gloss
I figured it's going in the bathroom might as well make it as waterproof as possible... and it was what we had on hand.
Game/Art table with Four Dollar Stackable Children’s Chairs

I made this a little wider than the plans so that my kids could use it as an art and game table.

Storage Dining Bench
![](/sites/default/files/gray_0.jpg)
Kitchen dining bench with storage. Due to the plugs being in an awkward position, I opted to build this bench with a facade as opposed to adding a back and sides. This also meant it had to be panelled in situ which was a fun challenge! It has piano hinges as well as soft close pistons making for a great storage bench that is in keeping with the rest of our kitchen.

Dresser

This project went pretty quick. I've learned how important it is to make super accurate cuts while making a carcass and inserts for it so I didn't have to "fix" as much along the way for this piece, yay for progress! The only amendment I made was adding drawer glides because this will be in my toddler's room so I didn't want the drawers to be able to come out all the way. I used mostly scrap wood I had that just needed to be ripped to the right size for all the framing pieces so all we actually had to buy was the 3/4" ply! And it cleaned up my scrap pile nicely too!
Benchwright Console

I built this off of the benchwright media console from PB and the benchmark media console plans and tweeted them slightly for my preferences

Farmhouse Bench
A couple of months ago I built a farmhouse table for our dining room. Now that we've moved into our house and have more space, I've put together the bench too. I used 2x6's for the top and 2x4's for the legs. When I put the legs on, it didn't feel sturdy enough so I added some 2x2 braces for support. I wasn't sure how they would look at first, but they really add a cool dimension to the bench.
Rustic X Console Table
This is our second time building the Rustic X Console Table. It is such a fun project! I have all the details and more pictures on my blog.
