Happy Monday guys!!
We have such a fun plan to share with you guys today!
Last week Ashley and I teamed up to build this amazing hall tree!
How cute is that??
Ashley and I teamed up withPureBond Plywood to not only build this piece, but also video the entire process… From buying the wood to moving the finished piece into the house. So fun!
We will be sharing those videos soon, and we hope they will inspire all of you to get your hands on some power tools and get to work!
We wanted to build a piece that would showcase the amazing PureBond Plywood, and I think we hit the nail on the head with this one ;-)!
The thought of building beautiful furniture with plywood may sound a bit strange. It did to us as well! That was until we learned about PureBond Plywood.
PureBond Plywood can be found at any Home Depot.
What sold us on PureBond…
~ It uses Formaldehyde-free glue (scary to think we have been breathing in harmful chemicals until now)
~ It’s made in AMERICA… Whoop!!!
~ It’s made with wood from sustainable forests
~ It’s extremely easy to work with
~ Biggest selling point for us… It’s BEAUTIFUL! You get the look of real hard wood for a fraction of the cost. Home Depot stocks birch and oak. You can also order hickory, maple, you name it and have it delivered to your store… Love that!
So after learning the benefits of PureBond Plywood, we will never go back. It’s such an obvious choice and it fits quite nicely in our shanty budgets!
Let’s talk about the math on this one…
We found a similar hall tree online that sold for close to $1400. Wowzers. No thanks! So… Of course we enlisted the help of our sweet friend Ana to make us some plans to create our own at a fraction of the cost.
Our total cost for this build… $120! Yah. I think that makes the hall tree even prettier 😉
Just a few quick tips…
~We chose to use PureBond Oak
~We chose to use 1×3 for the bottom trim, and we used 1×4 and 1×3 for the top trim. We love the rustic look, and we love that it saved even more money.
Here are just a few more photos of this great hall tree!
Hope you love it as much as we do! We are super excited to share the video tutorials with you soon!
Make sure to check out the full plans for this great hall tree over at Ana-White.com!!
Every time I click on the building plans it sends me to a Anti-Virus Company/Mackeeper. Am I missing something?
Did you replace all the wood with the purebond plywood??? If so what sizes did you get ? The same sizes as in the plans?
how wide is the base?
What stain/finish did you use? Or did you say somewhere and I am just missing it?! I love the finish in the picture!
This post appears to be 4 yrs old. Where is the tutorial?
Hope you love it as much as we do! We are super excited to share the video tutorials with you soon!
Thanks for the plans .
I’m just about done. The only thing that isn’t complete are the wings on the side. I have a jigsaw (but I’ve never used it before). How do I stencil the side wings?
Just discovered your site thru pinterest.
I’m deffinetely gonna do some of your designs, starting from your kids bed, and finishing with this one. Some alterations are obviously considered but you’ve been a great isnpiration, thank you for that.
Cheers!
