Shoe cabinet
I took 2 of these Bissa shoe organizers to make this 4 compartment fluted one
Love these affordable handles (I also used them in my kitchen)
Love this stain color - Minwax Early American
Used a bunch of these affordable dowels to create the fluted look

Built in dresser
Turned this standard IKEA dresser into a built-in in our closet. It's been a good, sturdy dresser for several years, so I was thrilled to upcycle it into something more functional for our needs
sleek, modern drawer pulls

2x4 Outdoor sofa
I modified these Ana White plans to work for my space
cut these foam rolls down to size for seat cushions - good firmness, it hasn't lost it's spring/comfort
seat cushion covers - durable outdoor fabric

Cement + wood kitchen table
I'm using this feather finish cement to cover a tabletop and make the whole thing look like it's concrete. There are probably a lot of options, but this one should go on really smooth, compared to some other cement mixes. You'll want to be sure to seal it with a clear waterproof sealant and some poly
after the cement goes on the table top, add 2 coats of this to prevent water damage
finishing off the cement table top (and legs) with 2-4 coats of this for durability (I'll do 4 to be safe, especially with little kids)
thick 4x4 boards for the legs
