Erin meets power tools, It was love at first spring generating hammering force...

So after viewing my friend's wonderful job making her beautiful Farmhouse Bed . I was inspired! If you've never been to Ana White's blog knock-offwood.com then you need to go! Its awesome. Anywho Greg and I have been waiting on purchasing bedroom furniture and just using our childhood dressers and a bedframe. Well I want to pass one of the dressers along to Haley (the girl has too many clothes!) and get new ones for ourselves. Since Ana doesn't have a dresser design out there yet we're going to purchase this dresser for me and this one for Greg. We are going to make the Queen Farmhouse Bed for our bed and have started the simple nightstands.

Here are some pictures of the nightstands so far. It's late (because we have to wait til the bearcub goes to sleep to play with powertools) and we're gross (because it's way to freakin hot in NC lately) but I hope you enjoy the photos! I'll try to get more action shots as we go. I forgot about documenting the process until partway in.

Posing silly by the tables so far

Enjoying the nailgun a little too much- Thanks for letting us borrow it Mike!

Tonight's progress!

I'll post more as we get more done! Once the tables are done- then we tackle the bed!!
