Ash and I have been CrAzY busy these previous few weeks. We’re wrapping up the renovation of two homes for Open Concept on HGTV throughout the subsequent week, and we CANNOT wait to level out y’all! You will love them… And there are various new furnishings plans coming with each episode, so get excited people.

You’ll acquire and print the free plans by clicking HERE!

There are three principal steps to this assemble… Setting up the bases, setting up the best, after which attaching them.

The bases are constructed out of hardwood plywood. We use PureBond Plywood from Residence Depot. It is one among our favorite producers for lots of causes. It’s formaldehyde-free and made throughout the USA as properly. I’ve the blokes at Residence Depot rip it down so I can get it residence after which I make the smaller cuts at residence on my miter seen.

I used my Kreg Jig K5 to make my pocket holes. I’m using 3/4″ supplies for the whole assemble, so all of my pocket holes are 3/4″.

I added a line of glue beneath each seam, after which attached them with 1.25″ pocket hole screws using my Ryobi drill.

You most likely have a troublesome time squeezing your drill and Kreg bit into an space, you could use a correct angle drill. I don’t use mine the whole time, nonetheless after I need it, I would love it. It makes this half lots less complicated!

Here is a shot of them sooner than attaching the trim.

The trim is added to the doorway first. That’s merely to create the face physique with covers the robust fringe of the plywood and pretties each factor up.

I used 1.25″ brad nails with my 18g Ryobi Airstrike brad nailer…. Once you don’t have one among these however, it is a MUST. I apply it to virtually every assemble.

The underside trim is just 1×3 with a little bit of cove moulding on excessive. I attached it using wood glue and brad nails as properly.

There’ll most likely be a small 1×2 hooked as much as the once more of each base. That is attached with 1.25″ pocket hole screws and helps assist the desk excessive.

All trimmed up!

The desk excessive is constructed from problem panels. Some {{hardware}} outlets don’t carry these. I do ought to get mine at Lowe’s. I reduce down either side to measurement and attached them to sort an L using 3/4″ pocket holes and 1.25″ pocket hole screws.

Subsequent, I used 2″ Spax screws and wood glue to attach the physique to the underside of the desk excessive.

The underside of the desk excessive will appear to be this sooner than attaching it to the bases.

I painted each factor throughout the retailer, after which moved it into her room to attach all of it. Made life tons less complicated!

I found the knobs at Pastime Lobby and the hinges are brass, nonetheless I used some Martha Stewart paint to uninteresting them a bit to match the knobs. I found it at Michael’s. The baskets are moreover from Pastime Lobby and the chair is from Enterprise West!

Proper right here she is all accomplished up!
