Hey guys! I'm Ashley. I'm married to my hubby, John and we have 3 kids, Kade, Tris and Tenley. We 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!
Love the triple pedestal farm table!
Question:
Need to build eight tables at 12 feet with end seating available. How would you reconfigure the plans for the extra length and the end overhang?
Hello! My husband is planning to build your crib plans for our little one arriving this August. I’m worried about the fumes and toxins in stains, paints, sealers etc. What is the safest way to stain and seal the crib for it to be safe for the baby? My husband often stains the wood furniture he makes and I can smell the stain in our house for weeks and weeks! Even maybe a month or so afterwards when I walk into the specific room where it’s sitting. Thanks!
Hi Guys,
My husband and I have started building some of your projects and I still feel like we are getting a rough finish on them. What sanding steps do you take? Do you sand when you’re done only, before the boards are put together? Grits?
Thank you!
how do I find the can storage bins as shown on Pintest
I’ve made to projects using your plans, I’m finding in both of my projects some of the wood boards are shifting. I’m using the same amount of glue and screws and yet the wood is coming apart. Any recommendations on how to prevent this from happening again?
My husband and I are looking at building a baby bed real soon of one of your plans. I just have a question about if the baby happens to chew on the sides as it gets older is the paint etc safe? What do you recommend using as a finishing coat over the paints to make sure the baby is protected?
Where can I find 3/4×1/2 trim for the barn door nite stand
Love your work! What do you do/use to prevent your wood from shrinking? Hubby built a farmhouse table, but due to the dryness of our house, the boards shrunk and have gaps between them. IS There a way to fix this type of issue?
I would like to buy the Cross Door media console that was on ATHome.com but is NO longer there.

Hi! What is the smallest piece of wood you can make a clear out of for a shelf? Can you use a 1×2? Or would that be too thin?
Why do you recommend a brad nailer vs finish nailer for your projects? Thanks! You girls rock!
My husband just made the farmhouse coffee table and I love it! I was looking around on line and some people said stickering to dry out the wood is necessary to prevent the wood from warping… Our plans are to make the Restoration Hardware dining table next and I’m a little worried about the longevity of the tables now. What do you think?
Can you tell me the color of the walls and trim in Ashleys bedroom?
Do you have any 5×7 banner templates?

I found your site last week and I am hooked! I would like to see your version of faux distressed wooden beams for a mantel or ceiling. Also, a coffered ceiling tutorial would be great to see!
