I LOVE this dresser! I'm so excited that we were able to build it. Here is the crib with our bedding in it. I love the bedding. Its from Pottery Barn Kids and it has hibiscus flowers and hula dancers on it. Rowen says Phoebe's room is going to be the beach.
Re: finished dresser and some nursery PIP's
love it all!
Did you Dad follow Knock off Wood or do it all himself? Just curious about his feedback...
It was Knock off Wood mostly. He would get frustrated because he didn't like how she did things so he would change things. (Like he didn't like that she cut her own trim from plywood so he bought nice trim and used it on all the drawers instead on just the big ones). He is an actual builder (even though he's never built furniture before) so he didn't like how her plans were done so I had to read read stuff off for him to figure out what she meant. She also did stuff like use really 3/4" plywood to do the bottoms of drawers and that seemed a bit excessive so we ended up using 1/4" instead. Overall her plans were very helpful but you did need to figure some stuff out on your own. And some of her measurements were off so we had to check everything twice.
April that looks GREAT! Your dad did a great job.
It looks like the nursery is coming together. I love the bedding!
Wow, the dresser looks great! And, I am sure you guys saved a TON of money doing it yourself!
I love the bedding---I may have to keep that in mind if our next LO is a girl!
Super cute!
Looks awesome! We have the boy version of that pottery barn bedding for Josh. Love the surfer theme,so cute(I could be partial since his nursery is surf themed too)!
