Cameron Drawers

The building and painting is done!!!!  I finished the drawers this weekend and they were super easy!

I got the plans for the drawers and the rest of this system over at Ana's site, Knock Off Wood.   If you like name brand furniture without the ridiculous price tag head on over to her site!  She offers plans for free!!!

She does offer a cut layout for 1 drawer but I had to do 2 and I didn't have enough scrap wood left over.  So, here is a cut layout for 2 full drawers using 3/4" MDF.

After first step.

All of the sides complete.  This is just a very simple box!

Adding the face... I am using Ana's technique in this pic..worked great!

Gorilla Glue Wood Glue is a must for this entire project!

I poured a ton of Gorilla Glue Wood Glue all over the front of the drawer before attaching the face.

Using Ana's technique, I layed the face over the front of the drawer and made sure that there was equal space around the perimeter.

***  Ana suggests nailing the face onto the drawer but I did not want to deal with covering the nail heads.  Gorilla Glue Wood Glue is strong enough that no nails are needed.  After the drawers were dry, I carried them upstairs by the faces and they didn't budge!!! *****

I painted the drawer faces with Behr Leapfrog (satin) and distressed the edges.  I then followed up with Minwax Red Mahogany Stain and wiped off the excess. 

***Ana also suggests using 18" undermount drawer slides but I just placed the drawers in the bases without them.  I did not want to fuss with getting them lined up.  I'm sure it would be nice to have them but I have no complaints:)***

Now for the hardware!!!

Because the face of the drawer is attached to the front of the drawer I needed a cabinet screw long enough to reach through 1.5" of MDF.  The screws that come with the knobs are not long enough so I used this "thingy" to solve my problem!

It carved out layers of the MDF so that a standard screw would fit!  And it makes such a clean hole!

I found these cute knobs at Lowe's!

Screwed them in and that was it!

I'm so excited to have this done and in my gameroom!  I still have several ideas up my sleeve for this piece that I can't wait to get started on and of course share with you all!

Love Me Some Fabric!!!

Hey guys! So I was able to get out today and pick out the fabric for my girls' new bedroom.  With the baby on the way we have decided that the girls will share a room so I am in the process of creating it.  The first step on my list was to pick a fabric for their headboards that I will be making.  I am a bit of a fabric junkie and drove straight to my very favorite fabric store...

Cabbage Rose in Fort Worth... LOVE it!!  They carry fabric from my very favorite fabric designer...

Amy Butler

You need to click on her name to check out her amazing site and designs.  They are perfect!

Before home decor fun I was really into sewing.  I love making little girl's clothes and some of my very favorite were done in Amy Butler's fabrics.

My girls are not that into my "Sunday school clothes" anymore so I had to focus my sewing obsession on drapes and bedskirts... not near as fun right??!

The headboards are a bit of a secret but I will show you what fabric I purchased...

Yummy!  This is from her newest "Love" line and I can't wait to get these finished so I can share them with you in a few days.  You can also check out Amy's fabrics and purchase your own at Cabbage Rose online.  Lots of fun stuff there too!

I will be back in a few days with my headboards done to share with you guys.  In the meantime... have a great week!
