Built this nightstand for my boy's bedroom- built the farmhouse headboards to match. Was a straightforward project. I actually bought a circular saw instead of having the store make the cuts- best decision ever. Much better to cut as I go along. 

This was from the farm house table plans and the finish I used was bar and table top resin that you pour on to get a mirror finish. It doesn't take very long at all to cut all the boards and put everything together with pocket hole screws. It just takes time for the paint, stain and top coat to dry.

Hi, My name is Ibrahim I am a Project management Unit Manager in an Information technologies. I have two daughters, 3 and 8 years old. We have garden around 150m2. I want to do play house in our garden to play. First of all I searched how can do it in internet. Than I did preliminary work. I provided equipment and materials. And I take a holiday my company as a week. I started my first project which is wooden house.

My daughter and all around me was liked wooden house. I hope you like it:)

Sorry my English :)

I built my first daybed in May of 2010, and my second one in August of 2010. I've since moved one of the daybeds to my new nursery I'm creating. These beds are so versitle, so sturdy, and can be moved anywhere and 'go' with whatever decor. I love both of them!

For our wedding we wanted to make seating for our guests. We ended up making 16 chairs total over several weekends. We also made the pergola.

We needed a bookcase to fill a void in our living room and this was it. I altered the dimensions to increase the height to 72.5". I also added crown molding to the top which turned out nice. I used the same Bombay mahogany stain suggested by a previous post.

Hey yall!  This is Sara from OnHouseandHome.com with plans for my favorite build ever: my son's baby crib for less than $200. This is a super simple design that is fairly easy to build.  It's built from pine and poplar, both available at Lowe's or Home Depot, and I only used basic tools like a table saw, drill, kreg jig, and router to buil this.  The crib has survived a move to a new house and is currently housing my 2nd son so I can promise it's just as strong as it is stylish!  

My first project! A friend of my husband's came to visit for a weekend and was nice enough to show me how to use my handy dandy new air nailer. We had the bench put together in 15 minutes! And so began a beautiful friendship with furniture building...

Our niece recently moved to Virginia to live with us. I may or may not have been pinning ideas to a Pinterest Board http://pinterest.com/stoneybrookesty/teen-bedroom/ non-stop day and night from the moment I found out because I was so excited to get to decorate a “fun” room. Her only requests were that it include animal print and bright colors. After looking through dozens of inspiration pictures and taking a trip down the paint aisle at Lowes, she decided on bright pink (Valspar “First Kiss”), green (Valspar “Parakeet Green”), lavender (Valspar “Berries Galore”) and teal for her color scheme.

The headboard we scored for a cool $15 at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore and it just needed a coat of paint and a 1.5 yards of Nu-Suede fabric. We didn’t realize until we had the headboard home that it was sized for a queen and not a full so we had to do a little improv on the legs and attached a 12 inch section of 1 x 12 pine. These were leftover from the frame were no added cost.

We chose to make the Captain's storage bed from the Ana White plans because I wanted to make sure Tiff had plenty of room to put away all her books and make it easier to keep her room clean. The chevron storage bins are from Lowes. Which happened to have cheapest bins in fabric we liked and that fit when we were looking. We also found lots of good options at Target.

This 8ft dining table and bench was created with inspiration from Ana White (with a few modifications). It was made with all scrap wood except the table top. Full details of the table build (and kitchen remodel) can be found at www.chasingadreamblog.wordpress.com.

We made the farmhouse bed with a few modifications. We distressed the wood and did a whitewash finish. Absolutely love how this turned out!

Our master bedroom unfortunately had no closet, so for almost 2 years we had been using 4 store bought (cheap) racks that would break under the weight of the clothes and keep having to be replaced. There was however, a big nook in one wall of the room that could definitely be some kind of closet. I sat down and drew up a plan of what I thought would fit, but then had no idea how to go about building it. The plan sat in a drawer for months until after asking a friend about a shelf her husband built she sent me a link to this site and told me that's where she got the plans. I found the closet system plans and they were so close to what I had drawn up I was blown away! IT was no problem modifying the measurements to fit our space. I am SO happy with the results, all I need to do now is wait for some dry weather so we can paint!

This is from the simple white outdoor sofa plans, they were very easy to follow and came out great. I built it out of cedar for my mom's birthday that is her favorite wood. The cushions came from Wal-Mart on sale for 70.00 for the set. There is about 140 total in everything.

First time actually following a plan and not making it up as I go along! Turned out pretty nice :-)

I used the easy frame and panel doors instructions to build 4 new large cabinet doors for my hallway cabinets!  I painted them Sherwin Williams Alabaster.  You can find my full blog post about them here:   http://www.leapoffaithcrafting.com/make-shaker-cabinet-doors/

A quick shelf for a blank wall.
