Wood Cottage Bed
Modern farmhouse bed for our cottage.
Modern farmhouse bed for our cottage.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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!

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
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.
I made this a little wider than the plans so that my kids could use it as an art and game table.
My first big project. I'm pretty proud of it. I followed the plans for Ana's 2x4 couch.
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!
I built this off of the benchwright media console from PB and the benchmark media console plans and tweeted them slightly for my preferences
Loved the simple look and convertible design. Easy to visualize, hardest part was making sure of square
We did three at once and it was pretty hard.
I used Ana's plans with modifications to hold 4 and a half dozen eggs. I love that it can sit on my counter and display those beautiful farm fresh eggs!
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.
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.
Turned the sandbox into a pirate ship. The kids love it!
