How can you furnish your home with great looking modern furniture if you're strapped for cash in this economy? Build it yourself! I came across a great article describing how you can do just that. Using plans from Plan Canvas on Etsy.com, you can build various types of modern style furniture for your home with simple tools for very little money.
The furniture is definitely all modern in style but there are enough different types to furnish nearly the entire home. The plans include dining room sets, armchairs, side tables, coffee tables, a couch, entertainment center, nightstand, and even a dry bar. The one outdoor piece of furniture is a Craftsman style planter box.
You will not need a big set of fancy tools to build these items. According to the article, you only need a drill, screwdrivers, hammers, and possibly a circular saw or jig saw. The claim is also made on the Plan Canvas site that the projects can be completed in a few hours.
Making these plywood pieces will also cost you very little. Several of them are made economically with a single piece of plywood. For $6.99 you can build modern end tables, a coffee table, two armchairs, or a desk. For $7.99 you can build an entertainment center. For $10.99 you can build a dining room set. For $12.99 you can build a table and chairs from a design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. For $15.99 you can build a living room collection — and that's the most expensive project!
This collection of plans will allow anyone with some resourcefulness and a good work ethic to furnish their home with an impressive set of modern furniture at a low cost. In these troubled times we can't all afford to shell out a great deal of money for retail but would benefit from a little do-it-yourself.
