    Default For all of you DIY, looking for *Free* plans~~

    I came across this lady's site a few days ago and was blown away by the fact that all of her plans are FREE & most of them can be done in a weekend...

    I just wanted to share with my FV family~~

    I already have the Farm table & one of the beds picked out to start with...I'm so excited to know that I can build us a great diningroom table for about $50.00!!!

    Ok we're about 70% done as of right now...am trying to decide how I want to do the table top...we painted the legs/bottom but am considering doing almost a whitewash type application for the top.

    Then of course comes the fun of applying the polyurethane...but so far, so good. It's good and sturdy and all squared, so that's a good thing. The length of it is perfect for our diningroom area...and I've taken plenty of pics. of the entire project...I'll keep everyone posted!

    My husband and son made the Farmhouse headboard. They were done in no time and it looks great. They made it in for a king size bed and it didn't cost more than 40 bucks. My son just needs to get it painted and installed.
