This was my first project, I love the look of the benchwright collection, so I changed the plans a little so it will look like the benchwright console and coffee table.(Farmhouse look) On the top I used 2-1x5's and 2-1x6's with 1x6 breadboard ends instead of the plywood with 1x2's and 1x3's. I can't wait to start on the benchwright coffee table and the console table for the entry way.

One of my best friends got married a while back and for their wedding gift, I wanted to build them a piece of furniture. I had purchased a piece of 1x12 from Lowe's a couple of years ago because I thought it looked cool and finally found the right project for it.

Easy to build 2-3 hours. Weather proofed because did not want grey cedar in a few years. Liked the color of weather proofing but color continued to leak off. Polyed and sanding eventually stopped the leaking if colors. Scored pottery barn cushions 50% in the winter + 15% new email customer. Still $150... bought some pillows from pottery barn on sale for another $60. All in all looks awesome! VERY easy build. The rest ($$) is what hurts... Test any weatherproof in you use first before using.

Such a cute, functional table that was easy to build!

I love the toddler upholstered bed plans, but my daughter rolls all over the place while she's sleeping. So I added sides and put cut out butterflies on ladder hooks in front. She named it her Princess Butterfly Bed because everything is princess.

This was a cool project to make 

I had saw this online but was very. Expensive to buy some one afternoon I decided to built one my neighbor had a ton of Mason jars so I got 8 from them and I started to put everything together and the end result came out nice I hope u guys like 

Thanks 

Spruced up guest room by replacing full size bed with Ana's design for a queen size headboard and frame. Love the result! Thanks Anna

The 'Clara table' was my hubbies first true build. He built this table for our daughter last summer. She loves it and it gets used on the daily. :) We went with a solid top instead of separate boards. It might have added a little extra cost but not much.

I loved the rustic look of this plan but decided to use prime pine and sanded it smooth. I also used tongue & grove 6" cedar for the backing running horizontal instead of vertical to not make the shelf unit look tall and skinny. I covered over the 2 side edges of the tongue & grove cedar with a pine strip 5/8" wide all the way from the top to the floor. I also increased the height to add an additional shelf. I definitely suggest using a Kreg tool. I also recommend not plugging the Kreg pocket holes. They look terrific just stained. I also recommend not bothering to screw the top slates together. Just glue them using clamps.

Here are the plan modifications I made for the extra height & shelf:
- sides 76 1/2"
- legs 78 1/2"

My next project is to make another shelf just the same except to make the shelves 31 1/2" wide. This time I will use 1"x4" backing vertically.

The end product looks spectacular. You couldn't' buy a bookshelf like this anywhere.

I made this planter out of some left over pallet wood that I had.  It was pretty quick.  It went together in about 2 hours.  I have the step by step plans on my blog.

Smaller firewood shed. So pleased with how it turned out.

Doll bunk bed painted in white with purple patchwork bedding.

I built 3 30" picture ledges for my daughters for all of their books. 

My daughter wanted a Farmhouse/Industrial look for a headboard, so I found a nice selection of hardwood pallets that had heat treated wood and put together this headboard & attached and wired a light set.

This is a simple and cheap way to decorate any space. Just use some 1x2's to make a square frame. Stretch the fabric over the frame and staple it. You can make one large one or many different sized ones to cover a boring wall.
