Pottery Barn Cubby

Oct 2010 - Dec 2010

This was my first cubby project. I didn't want to spend Pottery Barn money on one of these so we built our own. We just got rid of this a year ago and it was very hard for me. So many memories building it with the kids, painting with Jess in a cramp storage room in the basement, and many, many kids using it to find toys, jump off of, etc.

This was my first time using a Kreg Jig and I loved it. It made building the furniture so much faster and easier. Although, now I tend to use a brad nailer and glue more than the Kreg Jig. It seems to hold just as well and is much faster.

Building & Painting

These were constructed with particle board. They're pretty heavy duty. With 12 years of usage they were just as solid and secure as the day they were built.

I painted them with regular interior latex paint and a polycrylic.
