My first ever project that was intended to live in my house.
Built a pair of these Farmhouse Nightstands for a spare bedroom from a modified version of Ana's plans. The only real difference was that they were re-sized to fit the space available. The tops are made up from two 8x2s and a 4x2 and the base by about an inch on all sides. The three pieces making up the top are joined underneath by Kreg screws (another first for me) and the top is secured to the base by small angle brackets from underneath also.
The base was painted first with a primer, then undercoat and finally with a top coat of Antique White satin finish. The top was stained with a walnut stain. I didn't apply a sealer beforehand and so the wood absorbed it at different rates but I like this effect. Finally the top was finished with 3 coats of Danish Oil
Really pleased with this first project. Thanks Ana for the design.
Sorry about the photos - everytime I load them the appear upside down 🙃🤔

15 year old daughter built this.
My fifteen year old daughter made this. She would only let me do the sanding.
