Always Creating Something New

Everyone knows that I love to sew, and craft, but I decided to try my hand at something a little different. Anna at knock off wood opened my eyes to all kinds of new possibilities.
This was my first attempt at making furniture. I decided to start with something easy; a nightstand for Jarom's room.

Her plans are SO easy to follow and I couldn't be happier with how this turned out!

I love how sturdy it is! This is one of those pieces of furniture that I know isn't going to end up on top of anyone because they decided to climb on it.

It is absolutely perfect!


You know what the best part is?
I made it by myself! Ok, Thayne helped a little, but really it was only because he wanted to try out the nail gun that we bought, and was a little jealous that I was the only one getting to use the tools. :)

And it cost me right around $15 to make! You can't beat that!!!

It turned out great! I like how the distressed edges look. I keep wanting to try one of the projects on Knock Off Wood but I'll just need to wait until we are in a better position to buy the tools and have a workspace for that sort of thing :).
