Building furniture for a child is a special pleasure for a woodworker. Children need safe and durable furniture sized to their needs, so building for them presents special challenges too. The projects in this book include a cradle, bed, table, rocker, rocking dinosaur, toy chest and marble chair.

Children's furniture can be fun, functional, and affordable if you build it yourself. Featuring more than a dozen projects that can be put together from easily obtained materials and common tools, with clear diagrams and color photographs that illustrate every step of the way, many of these projects can be completed in a weekend or less by anyone by basic carpentry skills. The kids can even be involved with some aspects of construction. Projects include a crib, a room divider, a storage chair, a computer center, an art desk, a portable toy storage wagon, a lightweight footstool, and a portable folding table.

This New York Times bestselling book is filled with hundreds of fun, deceptively simple, budget-friendly ideas for sprucing up your home. With two home renovations under their (tool) belts and millions of hits per month on their blog YoungHouseLove.com, Sherry and John Petersik are home-improvement enthusiasts primed to pass on a slew of projects, tricks, and techniques to do-it-yourselfers of all levels. Packed with 243 tips and ideas—both classic and unexpected—and more than 400 photographs and illustrations, this is a book that readers will return to again and again for the creative projects and easy-to-follow instructions in the relatable voice the Petersiks are known for.
