Double X Bench
I made this double x bench from plans from www.hertoolbelt.com
This is seriously easy to make.
It looks complicated but it really isn't.
I used the vaseline technique for distressing.
This bench looks amazing at the end of my farmhouse bed.
Outdoor sofa L shape & coffee table
Made a few adjustments - rounded the armrest. Absolutely delighted with it.
Kentwood Nightstands
My wife and I have couldn't decide where to start our DIY projects, so we picked the Kentwood plans out of a stack and got to work.
Ours are fashioned out of two 1x 12 pine boards, (7/8 x 11 1/4) cut for size. There is a great mom and pop lumber yard about an hour from where we are, and has spectacular prices on just about every kind of wood...saves us about 67% off the box stores.
We had some cedar tongue and grove boards lying around, so I used the cedar for the side and door panels. We also opted to add a shelf to the interior, measuring 13' off the bottom deck.
We did not finish the interior, aside from sanding the shelves, and putting on a top coat.
The top of the nightstands are made with scrap tongue and grove pine wall panels my father-in-law had sitting in his wood shop.
Really fun, enjoyable first foray into the ana-white.com community. Gotta say, having a Kreg jig makes joinery a snap.
Drawers for the Closet Tower
When I realized I was going to build the closet tower, i made sure there were plans for the drawers before beginning. Thankfully there were, so that made this a brainless build. Thanks, Ana! Read about the build, here.
Sliding barn door entertainment center
Fun project, ordered the hardware for the rail system itself and the wheels were too big so I made my own rail system.

Modern Subway Tile Bookcase
I had to adjust the height and width of this project to fit on my wall in this corner. But I just LOVE how it came out. It's one of my favorite pieces of furniture in my whole house!
Happier table
MY FIRST PROJECT
Tall TV Cabinet Built-in and Fireplace Board and Batten
See the before/after pic for the difference. My daughter was pulling everything off our open TV stand so it had to go! I designed this to give us the toy storage we need as well. The niche was over two feet deep so I wanted something to utilize all the space. I also wanted the fireplace to stand out so added the board and batten treatment.

American Girl Doll Closet
This was fun and easy. I had some of the wood already so I didn't spend that much. My girls painted it to add a personal touch. I would consider adding a magnet to help the doors stay closed a little better. Its been a couple of years and they are still enjoying this. At the time I had no idea how to make a star. Now I know it woudl be easy with a jig saw.

Birthday Doll House for Granddaughter
Thank you for your doll house plans!
This was a gift for my granddaughters 5th birthday. I altered the stair design a bit to provide a little more durability.
The only part I struggled with was the wallpaper.
All-in-all the project was a success and she LOVED it!

Orange Side Street Bunk Beds
This is my first large project and I'm very happy with the result. Since I knew we were using regular (thick) mattresses instead of thin bunk-style mattresses, I built the guard rails taller than in the plans. The bunk beds are painted Benjamin Moore Citrus Orange http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/citrusorange. The walls are Benjamin Moore Waterfall http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/waterfall.
Helpful Hint: IKEA's LONSET slatted bed base fits perfectly instead of needing to cut your own bed slats. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80278715/#/30278732
