Stump Root Table

If you have a tree that's recently been cut down or a neighbor who has, this is a great project to make a quirky side table. have a full tutorial here, including a list of materials!

Wooden Shelf Covers

You know those wire shelves we all know and hate that come in every builder-grade house or poorly done flip? The good news is that you don't have to actually demo them to create a cute wooden shelf situation in your pantry! I have woodworking plans for these! You can get them HERE.

Chess Board Coffee Table

I made this coffee table out of scrap wood and a piece of live edge wood. You can get live edge boards at Lowe's for pretty cheap!

Couch Arm Rest Cup Holder

I made this cup holder last summer, and I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY. It is my favorite thing I've ever built. You can get my woodworking plans here. They are customizable to fit your particular couch arm!

Shaker Peg Accent Wall

Follow my formula, and you will have the most gorgeous accent wall! These shaker pegs are super sturdy too, and can hold a ton of weight.

Cedar Fence Picket Planter

This cedar planter is made entirely out of cedar fence pickets! I won't lie, there is a lot of math involved. I will link the woodworking plans here!

Rolling Library Ladder

We did this in our last house, and I miss it so much! I hope one day I can build another one in our A-Frame! Here is the link to the blog post on this ladder!

Let me know which project you will try first!
