The wonderful family that is buying our house and patiently waiting for us to finish our new house, has adorable twin girls. Their mother had been dreaming of a bunk bed for their new bedroom and asked if we would be willing to design and build them one. How could I say no?
Last year we decided to build a fire pit behind the house. We had originally planned on building a simple stone fire pit. After some discussion, we decided to build a modern one made of concrete. We thought it would be a nice contrast with the brick retaining wall along with the other elements we would add around the fire pit.
In this article, I’m going to show you how to build a modern console table. This table has super clean lines, industrial leg, and is super easy to build. It can be used as an entryway table, a media stand, or even a small book shelf.
In this tutorial, I’m going to teach you how to hang a porch swing. Porch swings can add a lot of character to a front or back porch, but it’s very important to hang them properly. They should be straight, not leaning to one side or the other, and hung from something that can support the weight.
Since posting my original porch swing bed tutorial, I’ve gotten a lot of requests for a smaller version. Bed swings are large since they are made to fit a twin mattress, and they do take up a lot of room on a porch. So it’s understandable that someone would rather have a smaller swing.
