Another piece for the Kenwood Collection… This piece would grow with your child. Just remove the topper and it could be storage for clothes or toys! It would be a good idea to sand each piece before assembly. This will make the finishing so much easier!

Instructions

Before beginning to build, always check in on my site to make sure you have the most up to date set of plans, I occasionally update and change the plans to make the building process easier or to allow for less expensive purchasing of materials! Read through the entire set of instructions and all comments before beginning this project.

If you print out or save plans, be sure to check in on my site to be sure you have the most up to date set of plans, as I occasionally update things for ease of building or buying. If you are new to building, read through the GETTING STARTED section and other articles found under the BUILD tab in the menu on my site, it has valuable information about how to get started, tools and techniques. If you are unfamiliar with the finishing process, visit my Finishing school for some tips and tricks for painting like a pro and for special finishing practices. Use glue to secure your joints and

Consider Painting or Staining individual sections prior to assembling. This makes the paint application virtually flawless. Coat with a spray on Poly or Wipe on Poly to protect your finish and your piece and it will last for ages. Adhere to all safety standards and guidelines, and be sure you follow safety protocol throughout your build. If you are unsure about whether you are building safely, run a quick online search for the tool or technique you are using, or contact me via email or post to the forum before you move ahead. My contact info can be found in the menu of my site.

Step 1

 

Cut the pieces as indicated for the Front and Back Frames. Set the Kreg jig for ¾” material. Drill holes and assemble with glue and 1-1/4” screws. 

Step 1
Step 2

 

 Cut the Back Panel pieces as indicated for the back frames. Assemble with glue and screws.

Step 2
Step 3

 

 Cut the pieces as indicated for the Side Frames. Assemble with glue and screws, then add the Side Panel Pieces.

Step 3
Step 4

 

 Attach the Front and Back Frames to the Sides through the front of the frames into the sides using glue and a brad nailer. Fill the nail holes.

Step 4
Step 5

 

 Cut the plywood pieces for the Bottom and the Shelf. After making sure the cabinet is square, attach the bottom with 1-1/4” screws. The top face of the bottom should be level with the top of the front, side and back frames.

Step 5
Step 6

 

Cut the pieces for the Shelf Support and attach them with the spacing indicated. Attach the Shelf to the supports with 1-1/4” screws through the top of the shelf into the support.

Step 6
Step 7

 

Cut the pieces for the Drawer Frame. Attach to front as indicated.

Step 7
Step 8

 

Cut the piece for the top. The top will overlap the sides and the front by ¼”. Install the angle brackets to the inside, then secure the top.

Step 8
Step 9

 

Cut the 2x2 pieces for the Drawer Slide Supports and install as indicated.

Step 9
Step 10
Cut the pieces for the Drawer Boxes from the 1x8 material. Construct the boxes and attach the bottoms with glue and a brad nailer. Attach the drawer slide hardware to the drawer boxes and to the supports inside the cabinet setting it ¾” back from the edge of the drawer frame to allow for the drawer front. Do not attach the drawer fronts until the drawers have been installed and any necessary adjustments have been made.
Step 10
Step 11

 

Cut the pieces for the Drawer Fronts. Drill the holes through the piece for the handle. Insert the face into the opening and shim in place. There will be a 1/8” gap around all sides of the drawer front in the opening. Insert screws through the holes for the handle into the boxes to temporarily attach the face to the drawer. Open the drawer and attach the drawer front to the front of the box from the inside. Remove the temporary screws through the holes on the front and finish drilling the holes for the handle.

Step 12

 

Cut the pieces for the Door Frames and assemble with 1-1/4” screws and glue. Insert the center panels. Lay the doors out, face up, with the 2-3/8” frame pieces in the center. Attach the hinges to the outside of the door frames. Insert the door into the opening and shim in place. There will be an 1/8” gap around all sides except the center. If a gap is desired between the doors, lessen the gap between the sides of the door and the sides of the front frame. See Drawing.

Cut the pieces for the Topper. Assemble with  glue and 1-1/4” screws. Attach the bottom with glue and a brad nailer. If desired, self-stick felt pads can be placed on the bottom to prevent marring on the top. Attach the topper to the cabinet by using small mending plates attached to the back of the topper as well as the back of the cabinet.

Finishing Instructions

If painting, I like to sand the entire piece with 100 grit, then 220 grit, prime with any latex primer, sand again with 220 grit, and paint. Sanding the primer gives an extra-smooth finish! Finish with water-based polyurethane for added durability.

If staining, sand the entire piece with 60 grit, then 100 grit, then 220 grit. Stain as desired. For the finish, use wipe-on poly or brush-on poly.

Fill any Screw, Nail or Pocket Holes, Sand and Finish as Desired. For Finishing Tips and Tricks visit my Finishing School

Only one of these nurseries is actually rustic, or has rustic elements and that is this first room, but both incorporate the color rust exceptionally well. Rust is not typically included in the average nursery color scheme, but it's decided chic in both examples!

This stunning nursery is drool worthy and something out of a magazine, to be sure! To browse more of this room, click here.

Rust and Mint is simply divine! I'm always dreaming of something different and unique for a wee little room, and this color palette knocks it out of the park! Such a well dressed room for her baby boy! Don't you adore it? To browse more of this room, click here.

Are you searching for an interesting color combo for your littles? What have you found so far?

I'm always so pleasantly surprised by neutral palettes that pack a wallop of style.  It's a bit like a sneak attack. At first, your eye gently wanders over the image and calmly browses the room...and then BAM! It hits you like a knock-out punch, and suddenly you realize that you really like this space... it's calming and yet makes your heart sing with design excitement!  The fact that it works for boys and girls, well that's just the icing on the cake. Ok, so perhaps I need to "see" someone about this, but what can I say...this is my passion and I love it in all forms, perhaps more than people sometimes (do you hear that family, if you don't behave, I'm likely to trade you in for a few choice magazine subscriptions and a nice big glass of wine!).

I adore this room, and all of it’s textured outdoorsy goodness, mixed with a bit of that antique store vibe. This little girl is one lucky duck with a parent designing for Urban Outfitters, she gets to grow up surrounded by that chic and slightly quirky décor we all know and love. This room turns nursery décor on it’s head just a bit, and I for one am eating it right up!

Zebra Rug…check!
