Hi friends! Happy hump day! If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you’ve already seen sneak peeks of this project.

The blank wall space above our garden tub was in desperate need of… something.

Artwork? Nah, not useful enough.
Shelves? Storage of some sort? Yes, please – but it’s got to be pretty, right?
Always. Function and form.

I built this whimsical bathroom shelf during nap time and you can too! I teamed up with my friends at BuildSomething.com to bring you the free building plans for this bathroom shelf. You may remember BuildSomething.com from when I designed and built my kids’ farmhouse table.

You can download the plans for the bathroom shelf here.

To read my full disclosure policy, click here.The shelf is built out of solid pine and I found these cute vintage-looking faucets on Amazon to serve as towel hooks. Aren’t they cute? They add the perfect whimsical (and theme-appropriate) touch to the whole project. This shelf would also work well in a laundry room or you can switch out the faucet hooks for some standard coat hooks and boom. You’ve got a shelf for your foyer or mudroom. This shelf is like the Renaissance Man of storage and organization.

After I finished building the shelf, I filled all the pocket holes with paintable wood filler and sanded the whole thing with 150-, 220-, and 320-grit sandpaper. Then I spray-painted it with Rust-Oleum’s Painter’s Touch spray paint in Heirloom White. It’s one of my favorite white paints because it’s on the warmer side – it’s a creamy, soft white, not cold and stark like some whites tend to be. After the paint dried, I attached the faucet hooks then hung the shelf on the wall. I recommend driving 2-1/2″ wood screws straight through the back of the shelf into the studs in the wall for maximum strength.

This is a great beginner project, so if you want to get your feet wet with an easy building project, this is a good one to take on. Thanks for reading, friends! Hope you’re having a lovely week.

I’d love for you to PIN and share this project!

The post Build Something: DIY Bathroom Shelf appeared first on The House of Wood.

Hello and happy Tuesday, friends! I hope you enjoyed the long holiday weekend. I spent mine building, so I was a happy camper. Oh, and I have some super exciting news too. If you’ve been hanging around here for awhile, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of Simpson Strong-Tie® products. I used their connectors and fasteners when I built my DIY Workbench and Restoration Hardware-inspired industrial rolling console, so when they approached me about being a 2016 Brand Ambassador, I couldn’t say “heck yeah!” fast enough.

Jen Woodhouse: Simpson Strong-Tie Brand Ambassador. I’m so fancy. Yep – I have officially arrived. Would it be weird to get that title tattooed on my arm? Oh, too much? Yeah, you’re probably right. I’m expecting my diplomatic license plates any day now.

By the way, being an Ambassador doesn’t grant you parking privileges in the fire lane. Apparently, “diplomatic immunity” is a government thing.

Pfft.

Being part of the Brand Ambassador program means that I’ll be showing you how I incorporate Simpson Strong-Tie products into several of the builds that I create throughout the year. I’m excited to share my first project with you: this beautiful and rustic DIY bookshelf.

If you’re not familiar with Simpson Strong-Tie, take a peek at their DIY Done Right website. From brackets and angles to joist hangers and post caps, Simpson Strong-Tie is the industry-standard for metal connectors and fasteners. I built and finished this bookshelf over the weekend and it’s not only stylish, but strong and sturdy. Using Strong-Tie connectors makes building simple and quick.

So are you as excited as I am? Let’s get building, shall we? This project will run you about $75 to build. Is that not crazy?! You’ll pay hundreds more to buy a solid wood bookshelf like this one in stores. This is just one of the many reasons why I love to DIY, folks.

Download the PDF plans for this SIMPSON STRONG-TIE BOOKSHELF.

First, I built the sides. Just to make building even easier and more efficient, I cut a 17-3/4″ spacer block out of a piece of scrap wood so that I could use it to space my shelf supports out evenly. This kept me from having to measure every single time.

Next, I drove 2-1/2″ wood screws from the stiles through the rails and just like that, the two sides are built. My son kept asking if he could “climb the ladders.”

No, Son. Go sweep up the sawdust instead. He’s three years old and I’m lucky he still gets excited about these things. #motheroftheyear

Then I used GA gusset angles to build the carcass. They’re joining the front and back rails to the sides.

While I provided the angles and measurements for the X pieces in the plan, I recommend holding your boards up and marking them in place and then cutting them from that information for the most precise fit. There can often be variables, so it’s better to measure, mark, and cut according to your space.

I drilled pocket holes to connect the X pieces, but you can also use biscuit joinery or simply clamp and use wood glue, if you have the time. These Strong-Tie straps and plates would also work, if you’re looking for a more industrial look.

Finally, I added the shelves then sanded and stained the bookshelf.

Here’s a tip: fill the screw holes after the first coat of stain. Once it’s dry, go back and fill the holes in with wood filler, then stain those spots once the wood filler is dry. Wood filler never seems to stain uniformly, so this helps minimize the discrepancy and makes the wood filler less noticeable.

Behold: my daughter, expert photo-bomber:

The post How To Build A Bookshelf with Simpson Strong-Tie appeared first on The House of Wood.

Hi friends! If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, then you’ll be familiar with a new series I recently started called “Buy It or Build It?” Every week, I post different furniture pieces and ask my Instagram and Facebook friends: Would you Buy It or Build It? If the majority vote is to Build It! and at least one person takes on the challenge, then I draw up the building plans. Sounds like a fun challenge, right?

So here was our first contender: the Toscana Bookshelf. It’s beautiful, right? But is it worth almost 800 bucks?!

I’m excited to share the very first Buy It or Build It project! This gorgeous bookshelf was built by my Instagram friend, Laura @semi_domestic. Didn’t she do an amazing job? I’m drooling over it. And Laura says it only cost $80 to build – can you believe that? At the store-bought price of $755, you could build several of these bookshelves!

Laura recommends attaching the shelves before moving the bookshelf, otherwise, you’ll run the risk of the X-pieces breaking because they’re not strong enough to support the entire weight of the bookshelf. The shelves will add a lot more stability and strength to the entire piece.

So are you ready to build your own Toscana Bookshelf?

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE PDF PLANS FOR THE TOSCANA BOOKSHELF.

*This post contains affiliate links. To read my full disclosure policy, please click here.

Materials:

• 18 – 2x4x8′
• 10 – 2x2x8′
• 2 – 1x3x8′
• 2-1/2″, 1-1/2″, and 1-1/4″ Pocket Hole Screws
• 2-1/2″ and 1-1/4″ Wood Screws
• Wood Glue

Tools:

• Tape Measure
• Pencil
• Speed Square
• Miter Saw
• Kreg Jig
• Drill
• Safety Glasses
• Hearing Protection

Cut List:

• 12 – 2×4 @ 14″ (shelf supports)
• 2 – 2×4 @ 17″ (ends mitered at 45º not parallel)
• 4 – 2×4 @ 70-1/4″ (legs)
• 1 – 1×3 @ ~83-13/32″ (long X piece)*
• 2 – 1×3 @ ~41-45/64″ (short X pieces)*
• 8 – 2×2 @ 13-1/2″ (shelf breadboards)
• 8 – 2×2 @ 73-1/4″ (shelf outer boards)
• 12 – 2×4 @ 73-1/4″ (shelf inner boards)

*Tip: for the angled X pieces, I recommend measuring, marking, and cutting according to your space to ensure the most precise fit. Use these measurements and angles as a guide only.

Step 1:
Build the two sides. Cut the top ends of the legs and each end of the top rungs at a 45º angle, not parallel. Drill 1-½” pocket holes and attach the top rung to the legs with 1-½” pocket hole screws and wood glue. Alternately, if you do not have a pocket hole jig, pre-drill pilot holes and construct the frame with wood screws and wood glue. You may wish to use a countersink drill bit to countersink the pilot holes so that the screw heads sit beneath the surface of the wood, so you can later fill with wood putty or plugs to hide the screw heads. Attach the 14” shelf supports with 1-½” pocket holes and 2-½” pocket hole screws.

STEP 2:
Set the miter saw to the appropriate angles and cut the X pieces as shown. Drill ¾” pocket holes into the ends of the 1x3s and construct the X with 1-¼” pocket hole screws and wood glue. Attach the constructed X to the sides with 1-¼” pocket hole screws and wood glue. Alternately, you may opt to do a half lap joint for the X pieces.

STEP 3:
Build the shelves. Drill 1-½” pocket holes into the boards as shown and join with 2-½” pocket hole screws and wood glue.

STEP 4:
Install the shelves. Pre-drill pilot holes into the underside of the shelf supports and attach the shelves with 2-½” wood screws, driven from underneath. Use wood glue to reinforce the joint.

Many thanks to Laura @semi_domestic for taking on the very first Buy It or Build It challenge – you rocked this build! I think I just might have to build one for myself!

Be sure to follow me on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with upcoming Buy It or Build It challenges. Have a great week friends – now go make some sawdust!

Okay, so back to this bookshelf. I designed the bookshelf to accommodate Crates & Pallet’s pre-made Large and Extra Large crates. And did you know you can order reclaimed pallets from them too? They’re heat-treated and sterilized and are available either fully constructed or broken down. For this project, I ordered about 4 bundles of reclaimed pallet parts.

I used 2x10s and 2x4s for the construction of this bookshelf, then used the pallet wood to ‘wrap’ the bookshelf to get that reclaimed, rustic look. Dude. This thing is solid and sturdy. I’d recommend anchoring it to the wall because you do not want this beast toppling over on you.

Alright. So let’s get building!

CRATES & PALLET BOOKSHELF PDF PLANS 

TOOLS:

• Tape Measure
• Speed Square
• Pencil
• Drill with Countersink Drill Bit
• Circular Saw
• Pocket Hole Jig
• Hammer or Brad Nailer
• Safety Glasses
• Hearing Protection

MATERIALS:

• (6) 2 x 4 x 8 Ft. Boards
• (6) 2 x 10 x 8 Ft. Boards
• (4) Bundles of Reclaimed Pallet Parts
• (2) Large Crates
• (2) Extra Large Crates
• 2 1/2-inch Pocket Hole Screws
• 2 1/2-inch Wood Screws
• 1 1/4-inch Brad Nails
• Wood Glue

After cutting all of my boards, I joined the 2x10s and 2x4s with pocket hole joinery. Here are the sides and shelves:

Next, you just build the box. Watson loves to be in the middle of everything. #shopdog

To make building easier and more efficient, I cut scrap pieces of wood to serve as spacers so that the shelves were evenly spaced and level.

Then I periodically dry-fitted the crates to make sure they fit nicely.

I used a square and a level to make sure the shelf dividers were… well, square and level. Duh.

Now that the ‘skeleton’ is built, we can dress it up with some reclaimed pallet wood.

By the way, is this kid not the most adorable photo-bomber ever? What a stinker.

And I would like to call your attention to my son’s Batman cape and necktie. Because superheroes must also be gentlemen.

I used wood glue and my cordless brad nailer to attach the pallet wood to the bookshelf. I cut and ripped the pallet wood at random lengths and staggered the boards.

Here’s the completed bookshelf:

And now it’s time to decorate! My second favorite thing next to building.

For the face frame, I simply cut and ripped pallet boards to size, then glued and nailed them on.

I love how much texture and interest this bookshelf adds to a space. Look at that pretty pallet wood. And I don’t have to worry about questionably toxic chemicals or critters in the reclaimed wood because the pallets are heat-treated and sterilized.

PSA: You guys. Stop digging pallets out of the dumpster – you don’t know where that stuff has been! I cringe at all the pallet wood projects on Pinterest where the builder doesn’t take necessary precautions. People are all, “hey, I’m going to build my dining table out of all this free pallet wood I found on the curb!” Then they take that stuff into their homes and eat off of it. Or worse, they build their baby’s crib out of it. Ew.

For the love of all that’s holy…

Please.
DON’T.

Sorry, that sounded a bit self-righteous, right? Look, I’m all for “liberty and justice for all” and I’m certainly not trying to tell you how to live your life – I just thought it was worth mentioning. I mean, more power to you if you want your kid to grow an extra eyeball from chewing on your radioactive baby death trap. To each his own.

*steps off soapbox (which I built out of reclaimed pallet parts).

Oh, and here’s a small tip: when building the ‘skeleton’, make sure the pocket holes are facing toward the outside because the pallet wood will cover them up. Also, countersink your screw heads so that the pallet boards will sit flush to the surface.

I love how versatile this bookshelf is – even though the shelves and dividers are fixed, you can choose to use the crates or not and get a whole different look by doing so.

The post Secret Hidden Book Storage Box appeared first on The House of Wood.

Hello everyone! I’m excited to be writing my first post as guest contributor on The House of Wood! I’m Sheri from Hazel + Gold Designs and I am a DIY blogger who dabbles in a lot of creative mediums. I also have many other hobbies. One of my favorite things to do (other than DIY projects) is read. I just love books. Everything about them. Which also means that I have books displayed throughout my home. Today I’m going to show you how to create these amazing DIY Decorative Wooden Bookends.

Let’s do it!

Tools and Supplies I used:

• 1×4 10-foot pine board
• French curve stencil or design
• Drill and bit
• Scroll saw
• Miter saw (a circular saw could work too)
• Sand paper – #120 and #220
• Orbital sander (optional)
• Wood stain
• Sponge brush
• Towel for wiping off stain
• Wood glue
• Clamps
• Polyurethane

Cut Curved Pieces:

The first step in this project is to make the curved parts of the bookends. First, trace your design onto paper. I used a French curve stencil and traced out 4 pieces. Once you have them traced, cut 4 pieces of wood at least the length that you need. You may want a little extra to hold onto when cutting with the scroll saw. Use a spray adhesive to adhere the stencils to your wood.

Before you start cutting, drill pilot holes into the sections you’ll be cutting out in the middle of the design.

Begin cutting on the scroll saw, starting with the inner cuts then working your way out. This is a pretty simple pattern for a beginner. (I am definitely an amateur scroller!) Cut out all 4 pieces. You will use two on each bookend.

Once your curved pieces are cut, lay one onto the rest of your board and trace a line imitating the outer shape. This will become the center piece. In this photo, I traced the bottom edge of the center piece about 1/4″ wider than the curved piece, leaving a right angle on the back side which will attach to the base (if that is confusing, scroll down to assembly instructions.) Cut this shape with the scroll saw twice.

Cut Base and Sand:

Next, cut the base on the miter saw. This just needs to be tall enough and long enough to encase the curved pieces. My curved pieces were about 9.5″x3.5″ so I cut my long pieces at 10.5″ and my short pieces at 4″. You will need two of each.

Now go ahead and sand all of the pieces. An orbital sander works for the straight pieces and sides, but I sanded the curved pieces by hand so they wouldn’t get damaged. First, sand with 120-grit, then move up to 220-grit for a nice smooth finish.

Stain:

Use a sponge brush to stain all of the pieces. Remember to wear protective gloves! The sponge tends to get just enough stain on the wood and is able to get into the crevices in the curved pieces. Cover the entire piece with stain, then use a towel to wipe off the excess.

*Pro Tip: you will be gluing all of the pieces together with wood glue. Some people tend to think the stain will interfere with the adhesion, but I haven’t found that to be a problem. This is not a piece that will hold weight. However, if you are concerned with that, you can choose not to stain the areas you will be gluing. I didn’t find it worth the extra thought and effort in this case.

Let the stain dry according to the instructions on the can.

Assemble and Finish:

Time for the glue-up! Get your clamps and wood glue ready at hand. Glue a curved piece onto each side of your center pieces. I used a straight edge to make sure the bottom was flush.

Clamp these pieces together and let the glue dry for at least 30 minutes. Do this for both bookends.

Next, glue up the base. Make sure it is at a right angle and simply glue a long and short piece together. Clamp and let that glue dry for 30 minutes as well.

Finally, glue the curved pieces to the bases. This should be simple – just make sure you center them into the base. Clamp and let dry for 30 minutes.

Now just use some polyurethane to add a little shine to the piece. I used two coats and sanded with 220-grit in between.

Finished!

Now you have two gorgeous handmade DIY Decorative Wooden Bookends that didn’t cost much to make but will look beautiful on any shelf!

Depending on the layout of your shelf and where it lives in your room, you can even turn them sideways!

I hope you liked this DIY Decorative Wooden Bookends tutorial! Let me know what you think in the comments. This is a great project for anyone who has access to a scroll saw – beginner or pro! Thanks for reading! If you make them, be sure to share photos with us.

Hi friends! Hope you had a happy Halloween! Can you believe it’s November already?! It’s scary how fast this year has gone by. Today, I’m excited to be teaming up with Shelly from 100 Things 2 Do to bring you the free plans and tutorial for this DIY Low Bookcase. Shelly built this low bookcase to tuck into the landing of her staircase. We brainstormed ideas and came up with this low-lying bookshelf so that she could make the most of that tight space. Isn’t it beautiful?

Shelly dressed up this basic bookshelf by adding some store-bought molding. The decorative trim really elevates this piece, don’t you think?

Hi friends! I’m back from an incredible weekend in Atlanta. We were there for Workbench Conference and I was able to see all of my maker friends and meet new ones! Shara from Woodshop Diaries is one of the contributors here and we were able to reconnect and spend some time together at the conference. She’s the sweetest. She’s also one badass builder. Check out her new DIY Stacked Console Shelf – she built this beauty out of walnut and white oak for less than $100! I drew up the plans for her, so you can download those below, but be sure to check out her detailed tutorial on how she built it. She also filmed a YouTube video, so together with the plans, tutorial, and video, you should be covered on all sides when you go to build this DIY stacked console.

Build A DIY Stacked Console For Less Than $100

The design is very simple, yet smart. This is the perfect beginner project if you’re just getting into building things. Even though Shara used fine hardwoods, she was able to keep costs under $100 by milling her own boards. She bought the lumber rough sawn and used her table saw and planer to mill the boards to its finished dimensions. If you’d like to build it out of pine or spruce, your costs should be even lower! And if you don’t have a table saw, planer, or jointer, don’t worry – I wrote the plans so that you can use off-the-shelf lumber from the home improvement store.

Let’s take a closer look at that gorgeous wood grain – walnut is my favorite. All the heart eyes for this DIY stacked console.
