I’ve been looking for a project to make use of some really cool ceramic tiles that I’ve collected and decided that they’d make really unique and stylish end tables. First I needed a basic end table design that would be elegant enough for a nicer living room setting, but could also be dressed down for a more casual setting. As with almost all of my plans, I’ve used materials that can be readily found at big box home improvement stores.
This loft bed plan is inspired by the Rhys Loft Bed from Pottery Barn and Ana White’s loft bed plan, particularly her construction of the frame enabling it to be disassembled.
I’ve designed 2 versions of this with the only difference being whether or not the desk has drawers. This post illustrates the basic desk version with no drawers.
I was recently listening to one of my new favorite podcasts, The Literary Life Podcast, and the hosts were talking about their 2021 reading challenge, called 19 in 2021. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to level up to that, but here’s my running list of what I’m reading this year.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been able to produce some videos! And man, I’ve really missed it. I’m constantly battling the tension between being someone who loves to create, but having a job where I manage stuff. Over the course of my career, I’ve found that it’s close to impossible, at least for me, to be both creator and the manager at the same time!
One of my readers, Scott Hawley shared his designed for a nightstand to match his Rustic Farmhouse Bed. Below are step by step instructions on how to build one yourself.
After making a couple mid century modern nightstands for a bedroom renovation, I wanted to add a desk that would compliment the clean and modern look. This easy to build DIY desk design is inspired by mid century modern Scandinavian furniture and the plan can be easily customized for a desk size suited to your own space. It’s a perfect weekend woodworking project for a beginning woodworker!
Tapered legs for woodworking projects like these end tables add an elegant and refined look. They’re super easy to make using a table saw and a basic, inexpensive jig that you can build in about 20 minutes. In this post I’ll show you how to make your own jig and tapered legs.
If you’re been looking for a king version of my Tatami Inspired Platform Bed, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve re-sized the original queen plans and added additional supports to the base to accommodate the larger and heavier 76″ x 80″ standard king mattress. You can access a SketchUp model of the king sized bed here.
I was recently asked to lead a devotional time for a small group and it happened that I’ve been reading through the book of Jeremiah and one of the minor characters in the drama, Baruch, kept standing out to me. I relate to some of the minor characters in the stories of God’s redemptive plan because I’m a pretty minor character in the grand scheme of things. I also think that deep down inside we all really want to be a Paul or a Peter or an Abraham or a Sarah and it’s a comfort to me that even those relegated to the status of rank and file still sometimes get an honorable mention in the scriptures.
What could go better with a morning latte than some crepes? I was inspired to make my own after eating the delicious crepes at Capriccio Cafe in Destin and seeing all the amazing sweet and savory options. The crepe filling options are almost unlimited. All you need is a basic crepe recipe. Oh, and a crepe pan is really helpful.
