Cross breeding furniture, gotta love it! :0)

This was my Christmas present for my wife for 2014. Took about two days for me and my brother, with another 4 hours of staining and assembly. Could have been done quicker, but we took our time and enjoyed it! I have a good knowledge of tools, as does my brother, but I haven't done a woodworking project since Junior High School.

All in all, it was great and the result is perfect. I highly recommend using a pocket hole for the headboard attachment if doing the plywood - I didn't use one and it was tricky  . You can't see the plywood because I decieded to add slats to the headboard and footboard in the end (wanted to stain the wood, not paint it as planned originally).

Farmhouse tables I built thanks to Ana whites plans on her website makes building a lot easier knowing what materials to buy. I look on here all the time for new projects.

We needed a guest bed for our guest bedroom. So I built the storage areas under the bed out of plywood and boxed them up. The bed would probably look better with a headboard, but we decided to just do that curtain style headboard.

I had seen different beds similar to this, and I just had those in mind when I started. I didn't follow any specific plan except for what I had in my head.

It was painted with an oil-base white paint.

I could have sworn this project was inspired by a stool I saw on here but I just spent way too long trying to find it.  I wanted these to match our bed frame, which is really tall combined with our mattress.  We needed stools that could be comfortably stood on with two feet, but could also slide under the bed when not in use.  This was my first "finished" DIY project besides a dog house I made from plans from Lowe's.  This was the first time I planned it and created it myself.  They are very sturdy and look like they came with the set.  I am very happy with them. I took my time on them because I was doing a lot of learning and wanted to get it right.  I distressed the wood with chisels, files and carving knives.

Loved this project!  We had an old headboard so my wife came up with the idea to cut off the top posts and use them as legs.  

I made this dresser for my sister's nursery. The room is fairly small, so she wanted a changing table on top of the dresser to save space. We also added a third row of drawers.

Modified the dimensions to 13 inches deep, 40 inches wide and a lower clearance of 4 inches to accommodate a vent diverter for an exsisting heat vent.

I used Maple Plywood (3/4 inch) for the bench, and 1/2 inch for the back (to allow maximum seating depth on the bench).  The paint was leftover Valspar reserve paint from a recent bathroom project... and the paint dipped baskets were found at a local store called "the christmas tree shops" for under 25 dollars for both!

The project came in at just under $150 - well below our budget if we had purchased something in store. It was mounted to the wall for safety, as we have a dare devil toddler! 

My husband and I built beds for our daughters' american girl dolls for Christmas. It was the first time we'd ever built anything and we learned a lot. So fun!

I changed the dimensions to fit the entire width of my framed pea gravel patio and stenciled a design on the table top.

This was a super easy, super simple project that took me about an hour and a half and was essentially free! Had I not had the blower fan given to me, I'd have used the leaf blower we have that has barely ever been used. 

Made this as an entry table did the drawers out instead of in like the plan. Love how it turned out!

I made this for my granddoughter.  

This was my first real woodworking project. This design was perfect for my one year old niece. Used Rustoleum Chalked Linen White and Clear Matte Topcoat. Made sure to use Zissers Bullseye on all the knots in the wood so they wouldn't bleed through, although I should have primed the entire piece. Pretty simple to make, with the angled cuts being the hardest. Found the label holders at Hobby Lobby in the scrapbook section.
