DIY bourbon bar cabinet made from old corner entertainment center. Purchased for $40,

Built 4 of these, slightly narrower and thinner to fit all 4 next to a kitchen island. Decided to skip the false ends and use fabric sprayed with scotch guard instead of leather. I did the woodworking and my talented wife did the painting and fabric work. Very pleased with how these turned out.

My best man (and his wife) are expecting their first child and this was my very first project. The Kreg Jig is great but you need a right angle clamp to put this box together. I stained the project using Minwax white tint base in their driftwood color, I'm not a big fan of the color on the entire box but it serves it purpose as being gender neutral for any future kids. I bought the letters at a crafts store and painted them white and then sanded off the edges and rubbed Danish Oil on it to give it the "distressed" looked.

I used Ana's simple closet organizer and some other brag posts and created a closet organizer for my craft/kid size room.  

I used:

(6) 1x12x6' pine for tower and shelving

(4)  1x4"x6' pine for all the cleats

(3) sets of closet rod holders

(2) 4' 1.25" wooden dowels

I primed everything outside after cutting the pieces, which took way too much spray primer - I should have just used brush on.  Then painted the finish coat in place using some good Benjamin Moore trim paint.

I'm happy with how it all turned out - errors and all.  

This is my interpretation of the Rustic Modern Nightstand. The top is made from Padauk, an African wood that is reddish orange in color. It is surrounded by a band of hard maple. The front legs are Poplar. The shelf is Jatoba from South America. The drawer fronts are African Mahogony. All wood was left natural and finished with three coats of Varathane Satin water-based finish.
My wife and I needed two new nightstands for quite a while. When I saw this plan, it just seemed right. I built two of them in tandem. I was quite surprised at the weight when they were finished. Much heavier than most furniture.

We have been using TV trays as bedside tables for two years. The room is a work in progress... I was waiting to find the perfect pieces...or a plan to build the perfect pieces! So glad I found that plan here. Too impatient to wait for nice weather to head outside, I built this in February on my kitchen floor. It was a little messy and a little dusty, but I am a lot happy with the result :). Cheers.

We modified the plans a little so that our little girls bed would fit snug into the bedframe. We also cheated and bought round short legs from Lowes and stained them with Rust-Oleum Dark Walnut. We wanted the bed to sit low since she is only 3 and I also didnt want her to be able to stuff things under her bed!!

Our daughter wanted to decorate our house for fall with pumpkins. We had scraps around and I decided to create some colorful ones for our house!

So much fun!! :)

When we bought our bungalow, the entire attic was refurbished as a master bedroom. With so much space in such a narrow and somewhat awkward area, we thought we should convert the nook at the end of the room into a master closet area.

Custom love seats built

This was our first build. I have always wanted a rustic table and bench set, but they are so expensive. We already had a miter saw and jig saw, so I thought why not. We did not use a pocket jig when we built this, so we had to brainstorm for the bread boards. I found these really long screws at Lowe's and they worked great. I actually love the way they look. We are going to use the screws on the next bench even though we have a Kreg Jig now. Soon I will have my dream table without spending $2,000!

I combined a few different plans here, mostly the Playhouse deck, swingset.

I haven't finished it yet, this spring I want to finish the exterior as it's just primed plywood right now. Still going to add a window above the balcony (there is a loft up there).

I insulated the roof/ceiling and will insulate the walls when we finish it. In the bottom we'll be putting in a sandbox with a cover that folds up into benches.

It was a fun project and should give our girls many years of fun.

I built these tables for a friend in need. I enjoyed building these. Need these for my house now.
