Our finished knock of wood pieces.... I am so addicted!!

UPDATE: Ana at knockofwood posted pictures of our finished projects on her site, I am so excited!! so go check them out!!



I am having a blast with my husband and our new furniture building addiction. It is so cool to see something that you would love to have in your home and then make it - but for so much cheaper - of course!!
I have found myself checking out furniture I see at the stores and trying to figure out how it is made. I have so many ideas and projects - it is getting to be a little bit overwhelming!! I guess we better get to work huh?!

I wanted to share some of the projects we have found from Ana's blog Knock Off Wood- I am warning you now - you will be hooked!!
This is our favorite and most complicated project so far... but I love love love the way it turned out. It has so much storage!!! I would have never dreamed of having white furniture for my son's room but I love how clean it looks(now if it will stay that way is a whole other story)This piece is called the Thomas Media Wall Hutch in Ana's plans.

This is the Cameron Cubby Wall Unit - but we altered it to make a nightstand with storage. This one was super easy!!

I love these - they work so great for organizing books. This was by far the easiest piece to make - great first time project!!! My kids love these and I have noticed them reading more because there books are so much easier to get to !!
