I've finally finished the new tables for our living room. I made a coffee table, two end tables, and a side table. They are made in Mission or "Shaker" style, and made of rustic Alder. I purchased plans for these tables before we moved into our house, and have finally got them done. I altered the plans a little to make them suit my needs and looks.
For a first project I think they turned out pretty nice. I had some help from Todd. He let me in the shop and helped with cutting and sizing the wood and with assembly. Thanks Todd!
The next project will be the fireplace. I've figured out a new mantle and I think we've decided on which wall treatment and hearth design we want to go with. Stay tuned!
Nick will be getting our other end tables and old leather
recliner for his new house! Way to go Nick on the new house! Can't wait too see it!
This is the wooden valance that I made for our bedroom. It's made out of Hickory to match our bed. I used floor scraps from work, and finished it with one coat of oil based sanding sealing and three coats of water based polyurethane.
I built it to match the design of our head and foot boards.
