I am completely redecorating my home, Out is the furniture that no one was allowed to sit on or go near. I wanted furniture that we could use. I have 2 boys so I wanted it casual, fun and durable. Loved the farmhouse style and loved this table. It is made from pine, sanded and stained on top. I used Minwax provincial stain. Bottom is painted with black furniture paint then distressed. We purchased the legs from Osborne Wood Products.

I had a lot of fun with this project! It was quick, and I already had everything I needed on hand. I have been wanting to get more practice with my jigsaw and this project was perfect for that. I used one cedar picket for the whole box and still had some left over. I added a burlap bow and made the tail with some extra pieces of rope and my glue gun. It was a breeze!

Started with the classic bunk bed plan. Changed most of the 1x4s to 1x3 except the boards at the mattress level. Added an additional rail up top to make safer for my young children. Also added 1x3s on both ends of the head/foot board to make the legs a litter sturdier and to widen the frame as our mattresses turned out to be a little wider than standard. Took out the built in ladder and matched the rest of the rails. Then added detachable stairs to be able to remove during the day and make it easier for my girls to get up and down. Made a few mistakes along the way (when you write 57.5 inches and transfer 52.5 inches to your cut list you eventually have a really bad/sad day), but had a ton of fun!

We are obsessed with our new outdoor sectional.

Grandpa modified the simple changing table to match the rest of our nursery furniture.

First brag! I had a little time to play in the garage and decided to join the scrap wood bandwagon. The wife loves the bunny box and now the mother-in-law NEEDS one. Back to the garage I go...

I'm turning my messy sewing room into an organized craft/guest room, so I made a murphy bed to conserve space. I used corrugated tin on the the face of the bed so that I can use it as a magnet board while not in use as a bed.

This is my first DIY project ever. No plans. 

I haven't really done anything like this, came out quite well. I modified the back for what I think is better comfort, added side supports to hold throw pillows in place and added 2 extra 2x4's to seating surfaces. The sofa I built in an afternoon with an extra pair of hands to line things up and hold them in place. The sectional took a little longer to complete as my helper was off building his own couch (after he saw how simple it was to do). I also didn't use a pocket jig (couldn't find one in rural hardware store) but a countersink drill bit for all screw holes. 

Built three Adirondack Chair, got the dimensions from Ana's Adirondack Chair and modify dimensions for the smaller chair for my daughter. Used ceder and pine. Cost about CDN 40 per chair. Specially I would like to thanks Ana giving information about simple but beautiful furniture designs.

Here is a pic of kitchen cabinets I built using Ana's plans.

I made this project for a friend.  It was very important to get straight boards for the back in order to make everything square.  Let me know if you have any questions!
