I love to sew. It saves money, provides a creative outlet, and I can make money in my own home. Sewing a dress for myself saves about $40. But Ana White figured out that making her own headboard saved her about $2,000! My dress took 8 hours to sew. Her headboard? About 3.
She became so good at creating beautiful designer look furniture that she did it for money. Creating for money in mass wasn't as much fun as creating for loved ones, so she started www.knockoffwood.blogspot.com. Knock Off Wood is where Ana shares free instructions, building plans, and encoruagement for DIY furniture building. It's an amazing place.
She inspired me to pick up my drill and get to work. The hardware store even cut my lumber to size for me. First on my project list are these shelves from Martha Stewart:
Next is this bench from Knock Off Wood:
And after that, I'd like to try a farmhouse table and benches.
Go visit www.knockoffwood.blogspot.com and get inspired. Happy Nailing!
oh,my!! I love it….drooling here =) I may need my own wood shop! (that will qualify for a homeschool project right???)
wow! This inspires me! I always gawk at some of the stuff at Pottery Barn for Kids and then think, I would never pay those prices, nor could I! But wow, maybe I can!?
Love your blog and thanks for sharing the Knock Off Word blog tip. Lot’s of good ideas!
Living room furniture sets are paid more attention as this room is visited by almost every visitor. As it is said that first impression is the last, living room furniture is the impression setter on others mind.

There are plenty of ways of improving your home but one of the simplest is through home furniture. Having new furniture can make all the difference to your home.
The simple things could come out to be more elegant and stylish, i never imagine that this simple ideas were really great to see come to think of it you can see those materials maybe at your back yard, or materials were found in your own home.
When choosing home furniture accessories, often seems as though you have too many choices. This often leaves many people frustrated, wondering which items to choose and which items to pass up.
