Farmhouse coffee table
For this coffee table I actually used the triple pedestal farmhouse table as an inspiration and just made it smaller and made 2 rather than 3 pedestals! I made the top the size I wanted it to be and then I made the pedistals really short to get the look I was after!

Bunk Bed
I am very happy to have completed the up portion of the bunk bed. The full size down was done quite sometime ago and I became sidetracked on other projects.
This is a sturdy bed and a favorite in my home. One day I even found my husband napping (hiding) on the top bunk.
The part that I like the best is when we graduate from bunk beds we still have two beds to use.
I also completed the ladder and it works, but I cut it just alittle shorter than the plan called for. Lets just put another on my to do list.

DIY Wood Headboard
Thank You for this Headboard Plan. It was very easy. Other than painting it I completed it in less than 3 hours. A nail gun sure saves some time. Everyone loved it. They wanted me to put clear coat on it because it looked really good, but I ended up painting it to match my other bedroom furniture which is Black.

Family stocking stand
We have a vent-less gas wall heater, but had no mantel for hanging stockings. Thanks to the new plan, we have the perfect solution! We already had the 2X4s left over from the simple panel bed project, so we only purchased hooks and stains for this.
We shortened the width to accommodate 4 stockings instead of 5 (we cut the 2 cross pieces 9 inches shorter). We also decided to add a large 2X6 cap to mimic a mantel, which really seems to tie it all together much better. We love this and have ideas now on how to make slight changes so it will more easily slide "over"/around the wall heater
(yes, we are not keeping it that close while stockings are hung, so as to not risk catching fire)

Under $20 (if you need to purchase wood/stain, we did this for under $10)

Upcoming project
I’m looking to make one similar to this but looking to make it a little bigger for two Great Danes. Do you still have the plans and or cut list for this project to help me out. I’d greatly appreciate it if so.
Popcorn Machine Stand and Storage on Wheels
My parent organization at the elementary school had just bought a brand new popcorn machine but had nowhere to store it. So, I offered to try my hand at building a stand with storage. I knew that we needed the stand to be mobile as the idea was to pop the popcorn in different classrooms for incentives, etc. I modified the kitchen prep cart to have a large cabinet underneath to store the popcorn, bags, etc. The pullout drawer was home to the measuring cups, directions, etc. I used my Cricut and cut out our school logo, placed on the popcorn machine and then polyurethaned it to the side. It turned out great!!! I could not be happier :)

Faux Mantle
Built a fireplace using Mimi's Faux Mantle plans - I think it turned out great!
Built from Purebond plywood because I can't find straight boards in bigger sizes in my area (EVER!) and used fir 1x's for everything else.
Finished with three coats of Behr paint/primer in ultra white. I will not buy Behr again. Personal preference.

DIY RH Dining Table
I loved making this! I had to travel about 2 hours to get the DF 4x4s which was the only pain in making it. This was my third big project and it wasn't hard at all! It's super heavy so it was a litte tough to turn it over. It only took me about 3 days to make it once I had all the wood.

L Shaped Double X Desk
Made the move to working from home because of the pandemic. After 2 months and no end in sight, I decided I needed a better workstation. Built this in about 5 days. Really nice sturdy desk but make sure you measure how big it is first, I think I could have shrank this down by one less 2x6 on the top. It's a very large desk from the plans.

Truss End Tables
I built these as end tables in my living room. I made one narrower (only 14") by subtracting 3 1/2" from the end measurements and only using 4 2x4's on the top. Quick build, only about 2 hours to put together ( :) ), but the finishing took a while.

Primer, 2 coats of an off-white Beautitone Matte finish paint, distressed by sanding and gouging with a 9-in-one tool and rubbing Miniwax Dark Walnut stain in the gouges with a Q-tip, then wiping off. Finally 2 coats of Miniwax Polyacrylic.

Abi's Castle Loft Bed
I took on this project about 3-months, I was inspired by the excellent plans provided by fsmumford. I made a couple of modifications, adding a small bump out in the middle, to enhance the castle look, fabric covered seat cushions on the stairs, and an added 2x2 in the middle of the bed to add extra support.
Thanks to fsmumford for the awesome inspirations and great step by step guide.

Indoor Playground slide fort
We wanted a place for the kids to play when the weather outside is unbearable. So, we modified the camp loft bunk bed plan to work in our game room. We have a pool table in the room and we didn't want it to interfere with any shots. Subsequently, we cut the width down to 24 inches and extended the length to 93 inches to fit in our space. Additionally, we pre-ordered a slide that had to be mounted at 48 inches and measured 71 inches in length. So, my husband framed it out so the planks that are meant to hold the mattress would sit right at 48 inches and we could mount the slide. This has been the best idea ever for our kids, because they can't get enough of sliding and swinging indoors.

Estimated Cost
$100 plus slide ($89), swings ($16 each) and handles ($4 for 2)

Hmm, I believe it was a gallon of Snow Fall finish with primer all in one from Home Depot. We used about 1/2 but have more projects planned.
