I’ve been trying to build more outdoor seating, especially since my son’s graduation is coming up! I came upon this daybed from World Market and really liked the simplicity. It is such an easy build.

Building a Rustic Table

Outdoor Table

I had plans to build a rustic-style table for my dining room before I built the RH Inspired 1900s Boulangerie Table. I already had the boards cut and pocket holes drilled for the tabletop but then I drew the Boulangerie table and, well, the rest is “history”… Sigh!

This is one of those pieces that can be finished in so many ways… Distressed and chippy finish, stained, painted one solid color, or decoupage each of the drawers with different scrapbooking papers! I think I’ll have to add this piece to my ever-growing list of things I want to build just because!

I saw these huge swirly frames in the local craft store. The wheels were turning and I had all sorts of ideas on how I could use them… until I checked the price! $79.99 was way more than I was willing to pay and even at half off (which is usually what they are advertised [...]
