Curating a Kid's Furniture Clipboard for hometalk

Are you a member of hometalk? If not, what are you waiting for? If you are not familiar with hometalk, it is a fabulous website where people can share their knowledge on everything related to the home. Members can post pictures and tutorials of things that they have made or done. They range in topic from how to plant a garden, to how to fix an appliance, to home decor, and everything in between.

Not only can you view a ton of amazing ideas from other people, but you can ask for suggestions and opinions on whatever you need. I have posted both tutorials and asked for advice on different topics and the feedback for both has been terrific! Another feature, is that you can create "clipboards." These boards allow you to group and save ideas and inspiration for later viewing.

Last week, I was asked to curate a featured clipboard about kids furniture. Over the past few years, I have made quite a few things for the little people in my life, so I was so excited to be asked to curate this board! This is the 20 enchanting kids furniture ideas clipboard that I put together. The hardest part of putting together the clipboard was narrowing down the possibilities. They were looking for 15 - 20 projects and I could have easily used at least 50!

The above is just a sampling of some of the amazing projects on the clipboard. Be sure to check it out! While you are taking a look, don't forget to become a member of hometalk. I promise, you will not regret it!

Little E's Birthday Garden Bench

This weekend was my niece's 3rd birthday. I surprised her with this garden bench that I had built.

I actually did the building of it a couple months ago. Here is the plan from the Ana White website that I used to build it. You can view the steps I took to build it here.

I finally got it painted last weekend and I gave it to her this weekend. She was very excited! There is too much snow on the ground for it to go out in the yard now, but she was very happy to get it.

Little E's Garden Bench

I haven't been sleeping much lately, so I had to come up with a project. My youngest niece's 3rd birthday is in March. It's a long ways away, but I found a great build for her!

I am slightly obsessed with Ana White's website. I saw this cute plan ana-white.com/2013/08/plans/childs-bench-arbor and I knew it would be perfect!

I still have to fill in the screw holes and I need to sand the entire thing to soften up the curves. Then I have to deal with the painting. I love the building part of these projects, but I hate the finishing part.

Here are a few pictures of the build. Yes, I had to build it in my living room. My basement is not heated and it has been super cold out, so I did most of the building in my living room. Just ignore all the sawdust and wood chips all over the floor.

I'll have to add pictures once it's really completed, but that won't be for awhile because it is way too cold to paint in the basement right now. Here it is for now.
