Adventures in furniture making

Awhile ago I stumbled across one of my favorite websites ever ana-white.com. This lady gives furniture plans for tons and tons of furniture. So after looking and looking and looking at furniture plans I decided that Joel and Conner needed a toy box. I found a very cute simple plan for a toy box and said to myself "that looks perfect!" Now please remember that I am married to an engineer who immediately looked at the plans and modified it somewhat a lot! So, instead of taking the couple of hours it was supposed to we worked at it on and off for a good month. I really love the way that it turned out and it holds those toys great!  I can't wait to build the rest of my list. I think we are starting on bookshelves for my front room this week and a bunk bed after that. Here is a picture of our finished product.

Funny, I just found that site a couple weeks ago and bookmarked a bunch of stuff I want my hubby to make. The toy box is a great idea!
