Hey guys! I'm Ashley. I have 3 kids, Kade, Tris and Tenley. I built our home in 2013 and moved into it with no furniture. Since then, I have been busy building custom furniture to fill our new home. In our new home, so far, I have built 4 beds, 3 tables, 3 coffee tables, 2 console tables, a buffet, a media storage dresser, a mantel, 3 desks, 4 nightstands and lots of shelves, wall treatments and accent pieces. I am a home body and my second home is my workshop. I love power tools, cute shoes and purses and I love designing furniture and watching it come to life in my shop. My passion is teaching and encouraging people to DIY and I am so blessed to work along side my sis, Whit!
Do you have any plans available for a make up vanity for a bedroom?
First, I truly enjoy your projects. Been successful on building your platform bed and it worked great. My son loved it as well. On your platform bed with drawers project, have you done this for a king size bed? Was just going to change some measurements but unsure if this had been done and had any success? Also, if you have the measurements for a king size bed for this project it would save me some time. Lol.
I am looking to buy a router for myself. What kind and stand would u to ou recommend?
Good afternoon Ladies,
Just wondering what software you use to draw up your plans?
Based on your bar cart design, I built two carts from a couple of chunks of oak that fit into our laundry room closet. Found eight leftover castors in my garage, and polished up some curved steel pipe for the handles.
(I would send photographs but I do not do Fakebook or other (un)social media.)
Wondering what nailer to buy for the majority of your projects: BRAD or a FINISH nailer?
Quick question, what do you use to generate your plans? What program?
Would you ladies be willing to make and share plans for a beautiful Christmas manger that would fit a baby doll?
My wife loves the new king bed you made, i’m going to try to make it with a few mods and I was just wondering what design software you use when sketching it up.
Keep up the Great work.
Jason.
Hi Ladies,
Have you ever built an overbed table with wheels?
Wife is wanting me to make one, found your site is a good resource and thinking it would be a great build for you with so many people working from home
Thanks,
.
My wife and I are welcoming our first child in December and I plan to furnish the nursery with the crib, changing table, and dresser from your plans (I LOVE your style of builds)! My only concern with it is the crib finish…I’m not super fluent in wood finishes. Is the Varathane baby safe after it’s dried? I’ve done some Google researching and I think it is, but I’m not positive. I’m asking because I like the finish you used, it looks much better than the finishes that I’ve found marketed as “baby safe”. I could also be over-thinking it and have a false perception of how much the baby will chew on the crib.
I live in the Dallas Fort Worth area and would like to know where you get your wood. Is there a really good lumber yard that you use? Thank you!
I found one of your end tables in the “At Home” store and fell in love with the darker wood top and white legs! I’m looking for a console and coffee table like it. Do you have plans for making them?
Is it possible to have the free plans for the coffee table featured on IG post of November 9, 2019 please?
Good Morning, We are building the Fancy Farmhouse table and we are unsure how to attach the table top to the base of the table, if you could give a hand that would be awesome thank you.
