Making your own furniture doesn't have to be as complex as it sounds. We've collaborated with Jon Peters, of Jon Peters Art and Home, to show you just how easy it is to customize your home with your own handmade furniture.

Double Sided Fireplace Cabinet

It's about to be summer in most places and this is more of a fall/winter project, but it's absolutely worth mentioning. This one is a little more complex, but it yields such an amazing result that it's worth the time and effort!
