I have always wanted a farm bed and didn't think I could make it but here it is
Thanks for posting this great project.It took about 5 hours. I used a Kregg Jig to build it and I love it. I have built a lot of other things with it sense.

this was a lot of fun to build

Project took me about 6-8hrs with cutting and assembly (each). I used Home Depot's Top Select Pine. I will be giving it a distressed look this week with Minwax's Dark Walnut!

My precious second granddaughter loves her tower!

I made a few mods:
1. Eliminated the curvy top: no band saw.
2. Used piano hinges for strength.
3. No need for anti-tipping legs; just lower the platform to lower center of gravity.
4. Kreg-Tool a MUST. Didn't like the KregTool white plastic hole plugs.

PS I built my precious FIRST granddaughter a toy box to match her bedroom furniture.

When a friend sent me a picture of a Restoration Hardware inspired dining table from Shanty to Chic and asked if I could recreate it as a coffee table, I was up for the challange.  After sketching up new plans to the measurements she needed, I came up with this and am thrilled with the finished piece...and so is she!

All lumber is knotty pine.   I used pocket hole construction for most of it, but used my 16 guage nailer and glue to attach the angled pieces.  I attached the table top with "z" clips, first cutting a slot with a biscuit joiner for the clip to slide into.

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.
