Erica wanted some furniture she saw at Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel – so I looked at the magazine pics and came up with the following: 2 night stands, a bookshelf, 2 picture shelves, and a couch table – they are all fairly simple projects utilizing pocket screws and biscuts for the joinery. A simple paint (That she picked out) along with a finishing wax makes these projects look as nice as the ones in the pictures.

Great looking projects!
I like your stands. They remind me of Shaker furniture.

Nice looking projects Ben. I’d better not let my daughter in law see them, my ‘to do’ list is already too long.

Ben,
I think Erica will be much happier with what you built her, than what she would have gotten in the store.
Nice work.
You gotta keep Momma happy!

What wood did you use to build them ? How did the final dollar cost compare with the retail versions ?

Sawdust Mill – I added up the three $$ amounts from the Mags and the total came to just over a grand ($1,000) and I built these for just under 300 bucks – popular wood on all three w/ a piece of plywood (can’t remember the type) but thats a great savings.
