DIY - the neatest website (furniture)

I have young house love's blog (even though they kind of annoy me...) in my google reader and today they posted a link to this blog:

http://knockoffwood.blogspot.com

I think a lot of these plans are totally do-able.  I hope she doesn't get shut down for the "knock offs"  but just in case I have been C&Ping some I might want to try.

Don't worry - I won't cutting wood in my grandpa's shop until after the baby is born!! haha.  But after that I'm totally going to give a few of these projects a try.  I always knew I could make a farmhouse table, but I had no clue where to start and with a plan my grandpa might actually believe I can do it.  I want one of these tables b/c our dining area is quite narrow but I want a table with lots of seating so I plan to have a bench on one side (the side we walk through) and chairs on the other.

I like this one: restoration hardware knock off

but this one would be easier... West elm's version

oh, and I like this too, I actually was looking at the real ones in the catalog as something to add to the basement in the area we want to be the playroom corner

    I feel the same way! I enjoy their blog, and yet at the same time I sometimes get vaguely annoyed by it...I'm not sure why? 

  • Very cool. The minute I have space for power tools and a workroom, I am ALL over this!
  • This is amazing.  I passed it along to my hubby and he's totally drooling!  Thanks so much!
