Modern Outdoor Chair from 2x4s and 2x6s

Are you looking for beautiful and sturdy seating for your outdoor space?  Have you considered building your own?  You can save a ton of money and get exactly what you want!  

For about $20 a piece, I built these outdoor chairs!

 

We love they way they look.  We love the sturdiness.  We love how heavy they are - no one likes to chase outdoor furniture down in the wind.  And we love how easy they are to build!

 

Building the Modern Outdoor Chairs

These chairs were so simple and easy to build!!!  All just 2x4 and 2x6 lumber, right off the shelf!

Here's how I built it -

 

I cut all my boards according to the cut list below using a compound miter saw.  You could also use a circular saw and a square, or even have your local home improvement store cut your boards for you.  Good straight end cuts are very important.

Then I attached the legs to the longer 2x6 boards, using 2-3/4” long deck screws.  Notice the spacer in between the slats – it’s a scrap 1x that measures ¾” thick.

 

Here’s how it will look with both legs.

arms for the modern outdoor chair

 

Then add the top armrest piece, and repeat for two arms (for one chair).

simple modern outdoor chair assembly

 

It’s ideal to have two people to assemble, but if you don’t, I used a board threaded between the slats to support my back boards while I attached.  This is the most challenging step of the entire build.

seat slats, unfinished simple modern outdoor chair

 

Once the arms are attached to the back and front pieces, two cleats are screwed to the insides of the arms, and seat slats rest on top.  TIP: For added comfort, consider installing the seat at a slight downward angle.

Turned out really well!

Double Laundry Basket Organizer

See Also: Single and Triple Column Laundry Basket Organizer

We originally built this perfect single column laundry basket organizer.

single laundry basket dresser

The single bay free plans are here and are easy to adjust to a tower or for different sized baskets. 

 

triple laundry basket organizer

The triple bay free plans are here.

 

 

What Laundry Baskets Should I Use?

For this project I recommend a 1.5 Bushel Rectangle Laundry Basket, this results in a project 24" deep (standard cabinet depth) x about 6 feet wide

You can go up to a 2 Bushel Rectangle basket, but expect the project to become 27-30" deep, which could be a good solution in bigger laundry rooms or if used as a laundry folding island, but in most medium to small laundry rooms, would be cumbersome and create a too deep surface top (like a table pushed up against a wall).  The other consideration with going to the 2 Bushel size is the completed project may be difficult to move through smaller doorways or down stairwells.

Inspect the laundry basket first to make sure it will slide (nothing obstructing under the top lip), it is rectangle in shape (avoid curved baskets)

 

 

Plans Designed to Adjust for Different Size Laundry Baskets

We wanted these plans to work with different sized laundry baskets - in case you already have your baskets or can't source specific ones, or if you wanted to go bigger or smaller or orientate the baskets lengthwise instead of depth wise.

We did keep the overall height of the project tabletop at 30" - as this is table height, and an ideal height for folding on top of - but this can be easily altered too.

 

How Do I Measure My Laundry Basket?

You'll want to measure your laundry baskets to get the perfect fit in the finished product.  Here's the measurement's you'll need:

measuring laundry baskets

  • Under the Lip - find by measuring overall width and then subtract out the lip overhangs (should be about 16-17" for 1.5 bushel basket)
  • Overall Height (should be between 10-12" for 1.5 bushel basket)
  • Overall Depth (should be about 24" for 1.5 bushel basket)

Ultimate DIY Adirondack Chair Plans

Why Build this Adirondack Chair?

This chair is a combination of my original modern Adirondack chair circa 2010 and our current favorite Adirondack Chair where we went to a 2x4 frame and 1x6 design for durability and building ease back in 2019.  These updates create a new chair that has the best of all designs:

  • Simpler to build, no pocket holes and beginner friendly methods
  • Minimal angle cuts
  • Durable design, similar to how a picnic table is built
  • Very comfortable, even without a cushion
  • Compact footprint 
  • Easy to move around
  • But still heavy enough to not blow away in the wind

Truss Coffee Table

Why I Love this Coffee Table

This is such a beautiful coffee table!  The wood grains give it such a high end appearance, and it really transforms the room.  The angles give it a little more interest and detail.

coffee table truss style building

But I will be honest, those angles really gave me some doubts when I was building it.  See how all the top piece don't line up?  And if you look close, the cross bracing wasn't perfect.  I almost gave up on this project.  But I pushed through and it turned out so many times better than I could have expected.

Some details that could make this project even better - 

  • For the top, use 2x2s as breadboard ends to make the top look more interesting and finished
  • For the ends, use black lag screws to attach the two center stretcher pieces, so there's a hardware element showing
  • I used 2x4s for my base, I think it would have looked even better with 2x3s

Plan Notes

  • The hardest part of this project was the plywood top, as it is heavy.  It could be split into two pieces to decrease the weight.
  • The top can be waterproofed with a sealant or even roofing materials, but this could make it even heavier.
  • Cedar fence pickets can be added to the floor of the package drop box if desired.
  • If the package box is not in a covered location, place so it slopes to one side to allow for water drainage off the top.

Chunky Leg Console Table

Why I LOVE this Console Table

I love console tables.  They add function to just about any space, tabletop surface for temporary setting things, and they can transform a space by being the foundation for decor, art and coordinated accessories.

This console I particularly love because the chunky legs create a frame for styling decor and accessories.

pottery barn console table

More reasons to love?  It's solid wood, so you can paint or stain different colors, and has all the texture and warmth of a wood piece.

 

How I Built This Console Table

Here's the basic steps I took to build this coffee table.  Keep in mind you can also build using a brad nailer and glue as I did with this coffee table.

how to build a console table

First, I cut the boards according to the cut list using a miter saw for accuracy.

building a console table

Then I joined the tabletop and shelf 1x8s together as shown, using 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.

console table build

Then I used a scrap wood piece to trace out the end of a 2x6 pieces to cut out for the legs.

cutting out legs

I used a jigsaw to cut out the legs from both the top and the shelf.

legs cut out console table

I cut out all four legs on both the panels.

console table

Now I can start adding the "aprons" that support the tabletop and shelves.  I measure between the cut outs and cut 1x3 for top and 1x2 for shelf to match the measurement.  Then I attached to the underside of the shelf/top with 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.

aprons for shelves

Then I measure in between the shorter aprons to get the measurement for the longer aprons.  I cut these, and then attach with pocket holes.  The top is supported by a 1x3 aprons.  The bottom is supported by a 1x2 apron.

attach legs

Then I add the legs to the top - making sure the tabletop is level and checking that the legs are attached level.

adding bottom shelf console table

Last steps are to add the remaining legs and the bottom shelf.  I attach to the legs using 1-1/4" screws and glue, three per joint.

Make sure the table sits flat and is level, if you need to make adjustments, do before the glue dries.

I didn't do a video of this console table, but I did do a video of the matching coffee table.  Take a second to watch the quick video to see how this project goes together.

Max Storage Dresser - Easy to Modify Size

Why I Built this Dresser

I have a space under out stairs in our basement entryway that I wanted to add storage for extra hats, gloves, scarves, googles, and other outdoor accessories.  Because it's under the stairs, I knew I wanted a dresser that is enclosed to minimize dusting and cleaning.  And it needed to be on wheels so I can roll it out and clean under it.  And finally, it had to be the exact perfect size to fit.

With a tall order like this, it's impossible to get exactly what you need.  So I decided to build my own dresser.

With not a ton of space to work with, but an Alaska (lifestyle) sized amount of gear to store, I knew I needed maximum storage for the footprint.  No fancy trim, no bulky detailing - just all drawers in the most minimal of framing.

Rip Jig for Circular Saw

I have a confession.  I own a tablesaw, but I dread ripping plywood.

Why?  Well, part of the problem is I'm short, and wrestling up a sheet of plywood on to the tablesaw deck is very challenging.  Then trying to keep it straight, while pushing the plywood through ... it is a dreaded task.

When a sheet of plywood weights 80 pounds and a saw weighs 2 pounds, what's smarter:  Moving the plywood or moving the saw?

So I came up with a jig that is custom made for my circular saw foot - so now all I have to do is clamp and cut!  It cross cuts and rips with ease!

Modular Bookshelf Hutch - Build Your Own Desk System

Why I Built These Desk Bookshelf Hutch Towers

A couple years ago, I built this desk (plans here)

 

diy desk plans

Free Modular Desk Plans Here

 

This desk has been GREAT and it is a forever solution, a perfect fit between the wood beams in my house.

But the problem was the desktop would get cluttered because there just wasn't enough storage at the desk area.  I needed somewhere for things like binders and books, baskets, paper and decor to go.

The problem with buying hutch towers was 1) Each tower would cost $500 2) I needed slightly different widths for the towers because the space between the windows and the beams were an inch different 3) I wanted something that matched my desk in style and paint finish.  

 

Watch - How I Designed and Built My Own Modular Desk Towers

I did film the building process when I built these towers - watch in the video below -

 

 

How Has The Desk and Hutches Held Up?

I built the desk bases a few years ago and they are doing awesome!  The hutches I built about a year ago (finally getting around to posting the plans) and they look brand new and have been tremendously helpful in cleaning up the desk system.

Built-In Pantry Shelving

A pantry is a must have on any house I build.  I design my kitchens to hold tools (dishes, mixing bowls, pots and pans, cutting boards, etc) and spices and coffee.  That's it. Everything else goes in the pantry.  Yes, everything.  If it regularly rotates out, it needs to be on open shelving in the pantry.  That way you don't end up with expired cans in deep drawers or moldy bread at the back of the shelf.  Or maybe worse, you can't access and inventory what you have quickly and easily.

Even though this house is small, we made sure to include a pantry right in the middle of the kitchen.

This week, we are tackling the pantry shelving.  We want to put the right shelving in that can last a lifetime and won't need to be ripped out or changed later.  You might as well do it right the first time, it saves you time and money in the long run.

Here's what we came up with as a final result:

And an inside look.

It was some work to add the corner, but it was worth it for the more accessible storage.

Minimalist Modern Dining Table Pedestal for Round or Square Tabletop

Why I Build this Modern Pedestal for a Round or Square Tabletop

I have been dreaming of building this base for a long time - it is so beautiful and with the solid design, minimizes the overall business of a room, as chair legs are hidden.

I had a 60" round dining table top that I built a few years ago, and thought this would be the perfect chance to upgrade the base, give it an overall new look, and try out a new plan design.

Here's the dining table without chairs, I am using it paired with my easy to building dining banquette that I built last year.

Can you see how this base doesn't look busy with chairs?  I love that about this dining table base!

 

How I Built this Modern Pedestal Dining Table Base - Video Tutorial

This is actually a pretty substantial project and quite heavy.  I wanted it to feel solid, not like a hollow core door, so I built it using 3/4" plywood.  You could also use pine project panels if matching a pine or softwood tabletop.

Here's a video showing how I built this dining table base.
