Farmhouse style doll bed, modified width one less slat.

I built this media console several months ago. In the beginning I saw the one Ridge Media Console and loved it, but I don't have the right tools to make the drawers like the plans, so I decided to take a couple of plans to make mine different. I also wanted to build a console that was easy enough because I'm still a beginner. I also loved the Benchwright media console and used some of the plans to get what I wanted. The storage flips down by adding euro hinges. And I added doors. I added my own silver decorative pieces. At 1st I thought that was too much silver, but now I like it. When I first built it I would pass by it and had to remind myself I did not buy this at a store, but built it. I can't say how much it cost because frankly I'm not that organized just yet. Since I'm a beginner I go back and forth to Lowes getting something here and there. Lowes and me have this weird relationship. They wonder why I'm there AGAIN; and I just keep coming back, AGAIN. They better watch it, I may dump them for Home Depot - lol.

For the finish I used Rustoleum stains and finishes. I use this because I don't wipe them off and they dry quicker. I use one coat and it's done. Dries by the end of the day and ready for poly. I added the pic for the stain, but Lowes didn't have my colors on their website (shame on you Lowes).

The colors I used were 1 part black cherry and 2 parts dark walnut. I loved the colors so much I plan on using them for the rest of my builds in my living and dining rooms.

This was one of my first big projects, this site motivates you to get better. No, at first I couldn't build a box, now, I'm building outdoor bars! All of my skills, I learned from this site. The boxes are heavy, sturdy, they've had 5 golden retrievers on it, 4 adults at once, and the storage is incredible. The pics below show what an improvement a piece of furniture can do. This piece went into a dead space corner, a catchall. I'm not proud of the mess, :), but I am proud of the after. Extra room, light, airy, yeah!

Made this table for my daughter. She stained it golden oak, and plans to paint over it and distress. Its a handy good sized table for a desk or small dining table. Will put more pics when finished. I used 1x4s for the table top instead of 2x4's. I used the kreg jig to join the top together.

The daughter painted it with white milk paint, 2 coats. She did some sanding, and then went over it with brewed coffee.

48" X 60" built this A few years ago from pallets I picked up on side of Road

I just had to build these for my two kids. Thanks Ana!

What a great little project. Each one holds 32 crayons. Since it's a quick project and there are 64 crayons I the crayola box, why not make two! It helps if you have a belt sander and drill press. Those two save a Lot of time on this one. Put a little round sanding bit on a Dremel or drill press and really save time with the holes and getting them smooth.

We made this table from the farmhouse table plan but used 4x4s for the legs and slightly wider (2x10) boards for the top.

I built this media console for my dad for Christmas. He has a decked out Alabama room, but it was missing that one piece to tie it all together. I saw these plans and knew it would be perfect.

I added the Bama logos and door knobs which really set it off.

I had to practice cutting the circles probably 10 times before they were acceptable. I am glad I didn't quit! These bowls are great! 

When my two teenage boys were out of school in 2020 due to Covid19, I had them choose a project to work on and they chose theses chairs. I made cushions to go with the chairs. I think it turned out fantastic! They were proud of their work and so was I.

First project! Modern Farm Table using a mix of the original and the updated pocket hole plans. Stained with vintage gray/brown on pine. Used Minwax® Fast-Drying Polyurethane in satin to finish. Table - 33" X 69"

I modified the plans for only 2 pedestals, and a solid 100 inch walnut top.  I used auto body filler to fill the gaps of the legs, sanded and distressed.  It appears to be solid barn board wood, and there is NO way to tell that it's stock 2 x 4 and 2 x 6.

Jewelry cabinet made using a full length mirror I had.

Built this bench for my parents for Christmas. They were super impressed and I had a lot of fun. Cost for the wood and screws is only about $40. Stain/Sealer can cost about the same.

Obviously I decided not to do the woven back and go for the simpler straight slats. I prefer this look and I'm sure it was easier than cutting all those angles.

I was proudest of the armrests which I made using a jigsaw to round off the edges, a circular saw to make the thinner part, and shaped it more with a rasp and file, then finally a fine grit sandpaper. Super fun.

We used flooring from Homedepot for the middle boards.  My decorator suggested that I make it longer and that worked well with this flooring.  We did discover that our Lowe's has the post for only $10 - we paid too much at 84 lumber - only to discover that they were warped - we had to use corner brackets to fix it.
