Fathers day cooler

SINCE MY DAD IS THE BEST DAD EVER, I MADE HIM THIS COOLER FOR HIS FORT (PICTURED ABOVE) AS HIS FATHERS DAY GIFT THIS YEAR

 I WAS SEARCHING FOR INSPIRATION ON ANAWHITE.COM AND CAME ACROSS PLANS FOR THIS AWESOME COOLER. MY DAD LOVES HIS GIFT AND BRAGS TO ALL HIS FRIENDS THAT HIS DAUGHTER MADE IT FOR HIM. 

YOU CANT REALLY SEE THE SHELF BUT ITS THERE. THE FAUCET SPOUT IS TO DRAIN THE COOLER. THERES PLASTIC TUBING CONNECTED TO THE SPOUT FROM THE ORIGINAL DRAINAGE SPOUT BUILT INTO THE COOLER

STAINED WITH MINWAX WEATHERED OAK AND VARATHANE POLYURATHANE IN SATIN

Mama's wall shelves

Shelves for my Mom. It cost me around $10 bucks to make. Yippi

Notice the vine engraves trim. She loved that

I love love love how this espresso stain turned out. I love how you can see a lot of wood grain

the contrast is nice too against the natural pine

Vin's Big Boy Bed

My 12 year old son's first big bed. He had always had a twin or smaller but now that he has a friend or cousin sleeping over often, he thought it was time for a queen sized bed. (plus a twin sized trundle bed under it. ) He said he was sick of his cousin kicking him and making him fall off the bed in the middle of the night. :P

 Minwax Ebony stain. 

His messy room :)

I couldn't get a good picture of the full bed in one shot because of where it's placed in his room. I also ended up taking that red curtain off from under the bed. I was just trying it out as something to hide the trundle I was planning to build and put under it. I did build the trundle but it looks fine uncovered.
