Today I share woodworking plans free for the side panel of the desk. I designed part of the desk is very multifunctional! I'm using it as part of my desktop system, but these children also doubles as the head of the bed. With storage headboard hide ... I can get an Amen ?? Here it is for my desk!

I share this first part of the table with you a few weeks ago, and you can see. It was really exciting for me, "need" a table space. When we started this little blog six years ago, I never thought I would need a large table to store a bunch of stuff, but here we are. Makes me grateful.

And wait till y'all see the other half ... Well, I should tell the other 2/3. I need a desk with storage space a little more, and I designed this collection Truss table. You can build his desk, or you can add a number of extensions that I will show you real soon.

Thanks very much to our good friend Jay Jay's Custom Creations to bring all the original plan and our ideas into plans in for our readers. Y'all should check their website ... He has a lot of great tips, ideas and plans of their own! I will guide you through the building below, and you can download and print the free plan by clicking HERE or click below!

I have used the Kreg Jig me K5

for the entire building. You do not have to hang around here long to know about our love for this tool. Ashley and I are using K5 model. You can find it on Amazon HERE!

As always, I would call this a very simple and easy to build! I broke it down for you, but let me know if you have any questions at all!

This little box table using hardwood plywood. I chose to use Purebond Plywood me! Purebond product is our favorite to use when plywood is part of a building. It looks like the expensive hardwood at a fraction of the cost. It was made here in the US and that is formaldehyde make it safe to work with! You can find it at Home Depot. We always have people who can cut it down to us to make it easier to get into the car.

The first step on this table is to build the box. Kreg Jig I use my for this section. I have holes 3/4 "my bag on top and bottom.

I use a pencil to mark where the bottom will be lined up on the board a piece inside and add a line of Gorilla Wood glue before attaching the bottom piece.

I use my Kreg Right Angle Clamp bottom boat kept in place while tied with 1.25 "pocket hole screws. I love this clip! It's like having an extra arm around!

I mounted my top table the same way. Make sure it is flush with the edges of the pieces inside.

And you have a box!

I add the next piece shelf. This part is optional and you can line it up inside table or wherever you want to match the storage needs of your own. I used 3/4 "hole bag and 1.25" pocket hole screws for this section as well.

I attached a piece of 1 × 2 on the front of the shelf to use brad nails Airstrike I Ryobi and acacia. This includes the rough edges of the plywood.

Now to cut this bad boy! Simple. Whitewood I use for all my cuttings. We have noted the planned cuts, but I really like to measure this as I go. Sometimes you can have a little bit, and that would be the most obvious thing to add trim. I use a wood glue lines below each table.

Then, I keep them in my brad nails with 1.25 "Brad nails.

I do not worry about the holes in this section. I will have a look weathered wood, and I really love the look of the exposed holes. You can fill in you if you want to ... Just make sure to use sub stainable if you plan to trace.

I use my Kreg Jig again to put together the face of the panel frame. This section uses 3/4 "hole bag and 1.25" screws pocket hole as well. You can see my face Kreg pinned at work here ....

Once I had the entire frame assembly faces, I add it to the 'box' I use wood glue and brad nail me.

You build the door frame like the face using the Kreg Jig. Once the frame is built, attach a piece of 1/4 "plywood Purebond into the back of the frame. I used acacia and 3/4" staples with airstrikes My Stapler fraction present. Staples is a good choice when using thin plywood like this.

I hold the door for now, so I can trace them. My final step was to add the trim piece. This is 1 × 4 cut with an angle of 10 degrees. This is a cut is easy to do with a hat saws. Just put a cap cut saws to cut 10 degrees and cut them according to the plan. I added a line of glue on each piece of wood

I keep them by my brad nails and 1.25 "Brad nails.

My final step was to add the plywood to the back of the board and head board. I use the back and tied it Purebond to use my stapler and no glue. I decided plank top with measurements similar calling plan. I've divided these into more cuts to give it a look 'planked'. I LOVE IT. You can see it here ...

I use a combo of my fav new spot for the end! I start by dyeing the whole thing with traces of weathered wood gray Varathane. You can find this at Home Depot! It only requires one coat and dried for one hour ... Yes please!

I want me to find a little more painful, so I Rust-Oleum use decorative glaze on top of the stain when it dries. You just brush this stuff on and then wipe off the excess. Work on one side at a time when it dries quite quickly. You can also find it at Home Depot.

I found my hardware at Home Depot as well. These are Pull and hinges I use for my table. Just use your drill to attach both ... Easy peasy. I also added a small magnet closure on the bottom of the table to get inside the door as it closes.

Here are a few photos of the progress in detail!

I can not wait to share with you part 3 soon! This is such an interesting system that can be easily modified to suit your own space!

I would love for you to pin and share this plan with all your friends! You guys are great and we appreciate you very much! ~ Whitney.

DIY Nightstands & Headboard (Cheap Nightstands Reviews)

HDBlogSquad // DIY Nightstands & Headboard

Confession: I'm obsessed with the new bedroom my guest. It's an obsession. I still catch myself going through, peeping in, and giggle like a little school girl excited. Like, pinch me, this room is my house!

The process of planning for this room is a long time coming. I was hungry for the white room on forever, but never considered myself "bold" enough to pull it off in my own home. When I came to the conclusion that this room was white, everything else falls into place. Warm, rustic wood, dark brown and black, and yellow accents will help create a warmth in a room that could easily be cold if not all white.

I was kind to imagine something and try to stick true to that vision as much as possible. Because of this, my search for the nightstands and headboard is a long and difficult. I watched a Hack Rast, but since this is a guest bedroom is to be used a few times a year, a piece of storage is not necessary. And then I came across a beautiful headboard at Target. That is exactly what I need ... hope it is the wrong color. I will not sacrifice everything that I had envisioned for a yellow bed.

But I still can not get out of bed early to my mind. And then it dawned on me, just build one! X-shaped legs will be easy enough to reproduce, and from a drawer is not required, an open concept will look like a good box! A simple plank bed head (colored in dark walnut with) will complement the headboard perfectly. Ultimately it is all coming together

"J" and I outlined our ideas, implement the necessary measurements, and are on their way to The Home Depot. They had everything we needed for the project both headboard and nightstands.

"J" and I spent 3 weeks working on these projects. Not because they are too complicated, we just need to fit them into your busy schedule us. I spent a good 4 hours in my garage freeeezing dyed wood headboard and bedside (and I swear I'll never do it again!). Lighting was installed on an evening after work. The room is painted on a lazy Saturday afternoon. The bed was assembled after a busy day of running errands. And to be 100% honest, the headboard was installed just one day before disclosing all my life. But this is the reality of a DIY project; it may be simple, but it does take time to do it right.

Design and construction of things is always something I've enjoyed. Whether it's something big like a cedar bench or raised garden beds, or something small and simple, I find the process quite excited. I mean, to see the sketches brought to life in your hands (plus hands of your spouse!) Is something to be very proud.

General Supplies

• Gorilla Glue
• Paint Brushes
• Rags
• 1 package Norton MultiSand 9 inch x11 inch Sanding Sheets Extra Fine - 320 grit

The Build: Nightstands

Design and construction of things is always something I've enjoyed. Whether it's something big like a cedar bench or raised garden beds, or something small and simple, I find the process quite excited. I mean, to see the sketches brought to life in your hands (plus hands of your spouse!) Is something to be very proud.

When broken down into steps, the headboard is actually quite simple to make.

Material

• 4 #1 3/4x16x36 Pine (for the box)
• 6 1x3x6 Select Pine (for the legs)
• 6 1/2x2x3 Poplar (for trim)
• 8 Brass Corner Braces 1 1/2 inch
• 16 Wood Screws 1 1/2 inch
• Rustoleum Universal Hammered Dark Bronze 
• 1 Qt Premium Plus Ultra Interior Flat Enamel Paint & Primer in One inAntique White
• Minwax Wood Finish in Dark Walnut

Step 1 // Cut & Prep the Wood

ALL cut wood for your project is absolutely the right place to start. That way you only pull out your heavy stuff and make a mess once. Once everything is cut, sanding wood to ensure you are ready to work quickly with the stains and paints.

Step 2 // Stain & Paint

Make sure you keep all the pieces of wood that needs to be stained and painted separately. Depending on the color of your stain, you may need (or want) to do two layers. Allow plenty of time in between dye / paint for your piece to dry before assembly. I also use this time to spray paint the frame with a hammer L Rustoleum spray paint finish of.

Step 3 // Assemble

When working with wood I want to make sure that everything is nice and safe when it is put together. I usually use a wood glue (like Gorilla glue) and wood screws. The important thing to note is that I screwed the box headboard together with 1 1/2 inch wood screws before installing the "rustic" L-shaped brackets forging x-shaped Legs are assembled before I tied them the box. Braces, that comes between the previous set of X and the back set of X, adding stability to the whole piece. To complete the look, add decorations to be added to the bottom of the box, and secured with wood glue and nails.

Step 4 // Install

When we put on the nightstand in the bedroom of the hotel, we quickly realized that they were a top-heavy accents large lamps and accessories in place. To prevent the headboard from tipping over we used two L-shaped brackets to secure the headboard to the wall. Worked like a charm!

The Build: Headboard 

Material

• 4 1x8x6 Knotty Pine Boards
• 1 SPF 1x8x2 Framing Lumber
• 24 Wall Anchors
• 24 Wood Screws (1 1/2inch)
• 24 Alexandria Moulding Hardwood Mushroom Plugs 3/8 inch
• Minwax Wood Finish in Dark Walnut

The headboard is easier projects in the makeup of this guest bedroom. It may be simple, but it certainly packs a punch visually. Similar to the process bedside important to do all the preparation of the first timber. Depending on the width of your bed, you may need to cut the board down from 6ft to 5ft (as I did). Sanding everything to make sure the wood will take the stain evenly, and remove any sharp corners. Three pads each table is attached to the back of each board using wood glue and nails. Eight holes were drilled at each table to attach them to the wall. If you can not beat a study, it is best to use the wall anchors to ensure it is preserved. Wood plugs fill the screw holes, and provide a clean board, a look.

Project Breakdown

For those of you who are interested in the breakdown of the materials for this project, you can find everything listed below. I choose to buy everything new, so the total cost may vary based on what you already have on hand. Go to the table than cedar is a smart choice because it significantly reduces our costs.

WOODEN CRATE ON HAIRPIN LEGS (Cheap Nightstands Reviews)

THE GREAT CRATE CHALLENGE!

Hello friends! Many apologies for MIA - is still dealing with the problems of my father - but I am extremely happy to announce that I and my bloggy 9 people are participating in The Great Crate Challenge! (Let's ooh and ahh's caught!) Each one of us has made a plain barrel Michael - available here - and convert it into the creation of our very own using materials unique!

Michael barrel is very versatile as it features well-built, strong, raw, untreated wood, which is perfect for all the stains and paints you can try different! Just imagine the possibilities! It is also the perfect size - not too little and not too big; Perfect to keep the books, blankets, toys and more. The best part? It's only $ 13.99! When I went to get me, I also had a 50% coupon to cost me next to nothing for a great piece that I can customize my liking!

Without further ado, here are my views on the challenges Crate Michael - very own tank console table / display my price!

Materials I use:

- Crate Michael

- Rust-Oleum Early American Wood Stain

- Rag

- String Gold or embroidery floss (see more...)

- Legs hairpin (see more...)

- Screw (see more...)

- Drill (see more...)

First I went about my piece dyed Rust-Oleum with Early American Wood Stain in a squeeze bottle easy to apply! I've never dyed anything in my life before, so I simply follow the instructions on the bottle and it turned out really good! I apply the stain with a rag and some directly on the wood and wipe with the grain. Some timber is my crude barrel so it's a little more difficult to apply, but with a little patience and elbow crease I had my insurance! I LOOOVE color🙂

Once dry spots (it was dry to touch within a few minutes and set one hour) I wrapped the gold chain on the handle of the barrel for a touch of bling and structural interest. I simply just tied to a secret, and start wrapping until I have a good class. Just use a little bit of hot glue or E6000 to ensure end!

Next, I used my drill and screws and hairpin legs attached to the underside of my tank! I got those gorgeous legs of hairpin hairpin legs for Less - they are super affordable and come in lots of fun colors, sizes, and finishes! I have only two because the table next to me is going to be attached to the wall and I like the look simple with only two legs.

There is an empty space below the TV wall in our bedroom was just begging for a little somethin'-somethin 'to brighten it up! I simply leaned it up against the wall and the back of the barrel screwed into the wall so that it will stay. And you have it already! A side table super fast and easy to make use of a barrel of Michael! This project only takes a few hours and is a breeze to complete. I adore how it turned out! My plant is a little berry nice house to live now - look how it develops!

The Great Crate Challenge – Wood Crate Wine Rack

Good morning!!!! If you read my last Tour Blogland post, you can see a sneak peak of what's in store for today! So excited to be part of this big Crate Challenge with friends bloggy my VERY talented! We decided all create something using the same wooden crates from Michaels.

With endless possibilities, I decided to do a rack my wine in wooden barrels. I'm very happy with how it turned out and very happy to finally share with everyone!

The possibilities are truly endless with wooden barrels, I had so many ideas in my head when we decided to do this challenge, really makes it difficult to decide what I want to create. I decided to appreciate this wine, because it is perfect for small spaces. That is what we need for our small kitchen. You can easily place it on a desk, shelf, or mount it on the wall makes it very flexible.

First I start by dyeing barrel with wood stain minwax classic gray.

For the middle part, I use some of the wood that we had laying around in the garage, which is about 1 "thick. Measure the inside tank and then cut the boards to fit inside, making Figure X. after the cut, then I went ahead and stained them with the same wood stain.

Once everything is dry then start assembling. Use finishing nails a few to ensure the center together, acacia and some extra wood everything came together. The wooden parts have been used to fill small gaps in between the CBD and the barrel.

You will need to let the wooden parts dry and then sand lightly to make it smooth. After everything was finished I had the whole thing to add a coat of stain, then it is time to relax and enjoy a glass of wine on!

PLYWOOD AND HAIRPIN LEGS NIGHTSTAND (Cheap Nightstands Reviews)

DIY | MID CENTURY NIGHTSTAND

I spent an unhealthy amount of time stalking mid-century furniture on urban outfitters and sites west elm. there are so many beautiful pieces but I can not afford to buy all so I want to try a DIY version of one!

This bed is one of the more popular shapes and mid-century is one of the easiest build- up cheering. I will run through you how I put together, if you are not confident with wood cutting ask a friend or relative for some help (my father is my go to people who help me to sand!)

Materials:

Plywood panels

Hairpin legs

Acacia wood / nails / screwdriver

To make the body of the head of the bed you'll need four pieces of plywood or board informed.

the size of the plywood for this table is 15 x 45cm (x2) for the party and 45 x 45cm pieces (x2) for the top and bottom.

ps. you can easily create a larger version to use as a coffee table!

To attach the panel to the right side below I applied strong glue timber where the panels will meet (flush to the edge as shown above) and forging some panel pins below to ensure safety.

(You can also use the wooden pegs and glue to join the guide plate together- here!)

I just pasted the top panel down the sides as I will not be joining any really heavy weights. i left the glue to dry overnight.

Last but not least I added some hairpin legs! I borrowed from my foot wooden coffee table slice (the new ones I ordered did not arrive at this point!) I just need to screw them into place with a screwdriver or drill holes -no pilot needed.

Remember to use short screws no longer than the depth of the timber or they will poke through the other side!

I just picked up the bottle pump MUJI brand refil as I love cleanliness and their simple! I want to keep the table pretty minimal, so I just added a couple of portable wooden ITEMS- me in madrid, it reminds me of the design or the version that I had on my wish list.

I originally intended to deep chestnut wood stain but I kinda like the look of unfinished so I can give it a coat of clear varnish instead (..do you think I should dyed it darker?)

Do what you preferences- do you love mid-century furniture too?

DIY NIGHTSTAND WOOD (Cheap Nightstands Reviews)

Diy Nightstands

Some of you may know that we just recently moved from mohair to lehi. in the past year, we have been living in the couple's home while they are on an LDS mission. while it was very nice to pay cheap rent, and live in a big house fully equipped, we are excited to finally be in a place of our own.

we had a table free for our name as far as furniture goes, so we knew we had a lot to get. we do not want to spend all our savings on furniture so we spent our night staining and build our own.

the headboard had received love my new addition, and quite easily if I do say so myself!

I'm terrible at taking pictures of the construction process, so you will just have to bare with me ...

This project of 2 headboard you will need:

3 - 1x8x8ft wooden table - about $ 8 per

wood stain - I used the gel in hickory mixwax

clear coat - I used minwax clear satin polycrylic

32 - foundation - we have to use # 17 x 1 "- 1.75 Nail

8 - foot and a hammer

To make life simpler, head to the warehouse to your timber. they will cut the board down to the exact size you need them.

 You will need:

- 8 Pieces are Open It cut 20 "long

these are the table top & bottom

Pieces are Open -4 It cut 14.5 "long

That is the side panel

Board statement you get 8 inches wide, but they are actually 7 1/4 wide. So the overall size of your box is 20 "wide x 14.5" deep x 8 4/4 "high"

please use my sad little graphic as a guide ...

After your wood is cut and polished smooth, comes the fun part. and by fun I mean messy! wood staining.

It is best to use an old t shirt cut out to apply the stain. scrap used one to apply the gel, and a cleaner for removing scrap and even out the stain.

I just made a coat, because my wardrobe, I colored a bit darker turns out I want.

Once it has dried apply the clear coat.

Next, you assemble.

I found all the pieces that look best and use them as the top piece, and pre set how each box will be set up.

nail two top table to the long side of the table, repeat for the bottom.

you can see my nails ranking in this photo, just 2 on each end of the board, so will 16 per nail bed.

leg! let's talk about truth! I really want to have some foot hairpin, but J did not love them, so we decided to go a little more simple, and I love them!

We ordered slim 16 "Our legs online from Waddell production company.

You can buy them, you HERE for $ 4.26 each!

put a new coat of gel stain on these children, measured 1 "from each corner, make a mark, drill a hole and screwed them in tightly.

and there you have it! We spent about $ 80 for 2 bedside because we have made clear the stain and remaining layers from our wardrobe. but you can not beat the price!
