DIY Farmhouse Bed – King Version

King-Bed-GraphicI’ve had a number of questions about converting my Farmhouse Bed post plan to a king sized version (the original plan is a queen).  While the construction techniques are the same, the king version changes quite a few of the measurements to stretch the headboard and footer.  This post is a detailed plan for the king version.  To give full credit, the original version of this plan is from Ana White’s website (the queen version) which you an see here and I’m also working on a full version.  I think Ana has done a king version as well, but this plan is a little bit different.

Build Your Own Float Frame

I think that the Float Frame (or floater or floating frame as I’ve heard them called) is a particularly stylish way to display canvas art from paintings to canvas photo prints (also check out my video on how to stretch your own canvas).  The thing I particularly like about float frames is that they’re easy to build, look great and they’re pretty versatile as far as framing different styles of art.  In addition, if you want to frame non-standard sized paintings or prints, you can save a ton of money doing it yourself!  In this post, I’ll cover building one from start to finish.  And, if you stick with me until the end, I’ll show you another cool float frame project!

Rustic Farmhouse Nightstand

 

I am working on my next project, a rustic farmhouse nightstand to match my rustic farmhouse bed.  Since I finished the bed, we’ve been on the lookout for a nightstand to match, but haven’t found anything that we particularly like or will fit next to the bed.  The few options that we sort of liked are pretty expensive, so here’s a shot at a design that I created to make use of some wood I’m reclaiming from some old shelves that I’ve removed from my garage.

Rustic Farmhouse Table Bench Plans

Farmhouse-Bench-GraphicI built this bench to go with our Rustic Farmhouse Table.  Since building it, it’s been a great addition to the table.  In addition to the “look” we were going for, it’s really useful when we have a houseful of children and need to cram a bunch of them around the table.

Rustic Farmhouse Table with Breadboard Ends – A Free DIY Plan

Inspired by the DIY farmhouse table design by Ana White, I decided to try this project out. It’s a great project for an ambitious beginner and because it’s a “rustic” design, it’s a pretty forgiving project.

(P.s. If you like this post, check out my Rustic Farmhouse Bed)
