This queen-sized bed is an outstanding project that fits very well in most homes today. The Art's & Crafts style is reflected in the head and foot boards and sets a modern theme of this classic design. This is a very easy project to complete and only requires a limited amount of lumber. The nightstand is included with this plan as an added bonus.
Nightstand size: 26" high by 27" wide and 18" deep
Head Board Size: 50" high Footboard 30" high

joints and is a very comfortable three-seat bench.

ADChairandFoot.jpg (32155 bytes) Adirondack Chair & Footstool    

In the early 1900's in the upper New York State Adirondack Mountains this style of chair first appeared. The Chair has a low seat; wide arms, curved back and a very comfortable footstool. The back has a single 3 position adjustment that makes it very comfortable for all.
   
PRECIOUS MOMENTS CURIO CABINET

This case was designed to store a Precious Moment Collection for my daughter Lisa. The construction is quite simple with glass sides and a large front door. Indirect lighting shows off the collection quite well. Each of the shelves is glass and the rear mirror is readily available from most home centers.
