"Distressed" is the word I think you were looking for. These pieces are absolutely beautiful! It is amazing how cheap these are too make (material wise) versus paying hundreds each for similar quality furniture at a chain furniture stores. Plus these items will not fall apart over time as they are not made of MDF. Stunning!

These are beautiful!!! Large nightstands are so popular

Oh my goodness they look amazing!! Thank you so, so, very much for sharing your talents and process!! Exactly the information that I was looking for! I have a small cabin home now, with minimal storage and need things like oversized nightstand/dressers to accommodate and organize things! Dual purpose everything 🤣

Build the way you build and dont listen to the haters you always do a great job. I've been rehabbing furniture and putting my spin on furniture pieces and I use a krieg jig and I love it. It's the best way to hid screws and make the piece look that much better

I'm sure you get a million requests but I would totally buy plans for a nightstand / dresser that has drawers on one side and a sliding door on the other with just shelves behind it. The door would slider over the face of the drawers when opened. That would fit nicely in my bedroom design.

Me encantan tus videos, tus trabajos, estos muebles, el estilo.... Muy lindos, te felicito, tus herramientas, el espacio para trabajar, todo, gracias por compartir, un abrazo desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

I hear you about the painting. I need to paint the stairs and railing in my house and because I hate painting so much I decided to build an entire bar in my basement instead, complete with real barn board feature wall. Was much more enjoyable!!

Lindo proyecto Shara saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱. Te deseo lo mejor para este 2023 que sean muchos más proyectos nuevos, muchas bendiciones para ti y tus seres queridos. De Chile 🇨🇱 con cariño feliz 2023 👋👋💪

I love the molding details!

While I enjoy painting, I like your honesty and humor. I think "distressed" is the word you were looking for. Thanks for another project and video!

Was wondering what to use in guest room for more storage, this is it. Thank you. Happy New year.

You’re my workshop hero! I love taking on projects like this and simply appreciate how easy you make it all look. Keep up the great work. I look forward to continuing with to learn from you. Please continue to show where you make a mistake or would have done something differently so that we can avoid doing the same. You ROCK!

Good Morning! It was good to see more of your content…. I love your pieces!

Καλή χρονιά με υγεία και χαρά! Εξαιρετική δουλειά Σάρα να είσαι πάντα καλά!

You did a great job matching your parent's bedroom set! I'm sure they are thrilled to have such a talented daughter with such wonderful building skills. I always enjoy your video's and was happy to see this one come out just in time to end 2022 watching it. Happy New Year to you and your family. I hope it is one filled with happiness, peace and lots more fun projects!!!

great job, especially with the wood you were using, lots of people use alot more expensive wood to accomplish the same thing, keep it up..

Sooo good. I enjoy watching and learning from you!! Beautiful work❤

Thank you for making build videos. I learn a lot from them. I follow a bunch of people, but you seem to be one of the only to still do build videos.

Yay a new Woodshop Diaries video! I love the way you built up the details on the drawer faces and the cases. It's amazing what complex profiles one can make up just by combining commonly available mouldings. Nice! P.S. although the Woodshop Diaries beanie looks nice, I do miss the sock monkey...😆

Beautiful! Your skills have come so far these past years. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Love these night stands.

Tanks for your Content!!Like The Vid! Wish you a fantastic 2023! HNY!

Very nice set of night stands. I'm sure your Mom really loved the. Happy New Year !!

Sarah continuez a crée de belles créations comme cette année passée c est superbe bonne et heureuse année patrick

They look amazing great work

Great job, especially matching the finish! And I take it that your shop isn't heated either. Oh well. Thanks for posting and thumbs up.

You rock. You’re out here doing it. Making projects and rocking it.

Love love love! These mini dressers/larger nightstands are so versatile. Your moon is lucky!

I love these. I will be buying these plans next week!

12:54 distressed. Possibly patina. Love the detail work.

Me: “Oh look! A kitty!’ Very nice job, Shara!

Perfect timing!!! My husband and I were just sitting in bed three mornings ago having a cup of coffee, and saying we would like to have taller, more shallow nightstands!! I will be buying your plans and adding this to my upcoming build projects for 2023, but first I have a complete floor joist & subfloor gut to finish. Lol. Happy New Year!

Hey Shara! The word you were looking for is "distressed". All the best for the New Year!

A new video, my Saturdays can now go back to normal.

Beautiful job.

The nightstands look great! The trim adds a nice touch to them. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.

These look really great!! I love your videos and appreciate the massive amount of extra work it must take to not only build but catch everything on video and edit. Thank you for taking the time to do it all!

Nice work, Shara! Happy Holidays to you and yours!🎄

Very cool...very nice! They really came out awesome! Thanks for sharing and "Happy New Year"

Great job! The paint job looks great. Please include the painting part in the next video as well. It always helps. Loved this project, and thanks for sharing.

Hello Shara, I've been watching your videos from the begining and love it. I'm just a diy guy from france. I really like the way you make it simple to build furnitures while explaining just enough so everybody can understand and grab your plan if we will. Then you made me bought this really handy pocket screw set to be able to make different stuff like my son's wardrobe. Well, I was thinking, have you ever thought about testing the domino festool machine to do the same job? I'm not working at festool :) Thanks again for your videos !

Happy New Year!! Loved how this project came together, and they do match the dresser and bed. A thought that just occurred was to apply a base coat of black, then paint white, so that when you lightly scuff the front pieces the black shows through. (Yeah I know... you don't like painting. LOL) Also in this video it was good to see the project manager walk through, obviously inspecting your work. (grin) Until next time... Happy building.

Where have you been, I’ve been missing your content?

Love this build! Great job. Thanks for teaching us that we can make pretty things from basic materials. WOOP!

Thank you for sharing. I have learnt a lot from watching your videos.

Muy hermoso tu trabajo, saludos desde Venezuela

Your videos are so inspiring I have always found woodworking interesting, but because of you and your videos I am jumping into it head first. I am going to try and replicate your modern day dressers. I hope you keep making content.

You did a really good job matching them I work for Ashley and I see that set everyday

Fantastic job! I hate painting tooooooo

Beautiful job has always. Happy New Year and Take Care

My first reaction was WOW! All of that detail trim work really makes those stand out. Every time you say paint I think, ugh I hate that part too. Great job as always.

Nice! Would you consider a video where you talk about wood selection? I’ve tried to build furniture with construction materials and have always had issues with the wood moving/warping after being cut. Your projects always work out and look great, so what is it you do differently? Thanks for the inspiring projects and techniques. I built my daughter a tea caddy for Christmas based on ideas from you. I used a Cricut to make stencils to decorate the caddy. My daughter loves it.

Hey! You’ve been missed, but I hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas! I think these companion pieces go very well with the originals, so well in fact, that I’m sure many would assume they belong to the same set. That is, as long as you figure out what that difficult word is, and then do it to these pieces! (And you know I couldn’t help smiling at your “words are hard” moment!). I really like these Shara, a good job as always, and I love how you keep showing us that “simple” and “cheap” material can look just as good, as long as time and carefulness are put into it.

Really beautiful work, Shara! They look amazing! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

Happy New Year Shara! A very nice set of nightstands! I’m sure your mom is pleased with these. You always develop a great set of plans and your video is easy to follow along during the build. I like the distressed look and they match perfectly! Hope you and your family have a wonderful new year. Please keep on building!

Love your videos. Thanks for taking the time to produce them. Beautiful work

Nice work.

Nice

Great job

Great job! I think your night stand/dressers look fantastic. Thanks for sharing!

Keep up the good work

You do very good job thank you for sharing

Shara, I've already watched this video twice! I love how you spent some time to dress up a basic box into something that will be admired for many years to come. I always balk at the price of wood moldings but then remind myself how the moldings really dress up the job. This project is great because after the basic build one could add their own variation of moldings, carvings and drawer pulls to personalize or match their particular circumstance. Once again you've inspired me to get out in the shop and pick up on some projects in progress. Thanks for Sharing! P.S. In the few comments I've read viewers are talking about your hat. I looked for that hat on your website but couldn't find it. Maybe its just me but with at least two more monts of this weather I'm thinking that sure would be nice. Thanks for a great year in inspiration. Looking forward to all your new projects next year........and your Mothers!!!!!

Awesome work Shara! Love the build and the style. I feel you about painting. I loathe painting to the point I have more than a few projects that are still bare wood several years later lol

They look gorgeous, great match with the existing set. Happy new year 🙂

Shara - Happy New Years !!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳😘😘😘

These are absolutely beautiful! Thank you for another great build! And 12:53 it's called distressed 😉

They look fabulous! Could you talk a little more about your pet peeve with back panels on items with drawers? Is it that it just seems unnecessary?

Good morning Shara, love the build. I think you nailed the design. Looks really good to me. You forgot to snap your fingers I was worried the painting wasn't going to be done, 😂 lol. Anyway happy new year 🎉 . And great to see you back . Can't wait for 2023 builds.

It's so good to see you again Shara. I pray that your holidays have gone well. These night stands/dressers really blend in well with the existing furniture. How did it actually take to make them?

These are beautiful. What a wonderful gift for your parents. I will be making a set of these for my daughter. A side note: If you have ever found rodents in your dresser drawers, you would come to love not only backs but also bottoms to your pieces. We had a home with aluminum siding that was damaged in a storm. When the contractors came to repair it, it drove the mice that had taken up residence between the siding and the house into the house. I have no idea how they got in, but they did. Luckily, I have three cats that caught eight of them. The last one jumped out at me when I opened the drawer of a side table with no back. I lost 5 years of my life. ;D Backs and bottoms keep out dirt, many bugs, rodents and even pets such as small cats and ferrets.

Looks great. The rustic / older looks good and it's pretty close to the bed and dresser color. Awesome job. Happy New Year

Well done Shara, always a pleasure watching your creations!! Happy new year!!

Very nice 👍

That's a great 'matchingish' design! I was just waiting for the "I hate painting" 🤣 Your Woodshop Diaries cap is cool and all, but please tell me Sock Monkey will still make some appearance?

Great video, thank you. Interesting I just left you a message on Community to enjoy your time off. And of course a video shows up on my notifications. LOL. Yeah, I don’t like that “distressed” look, much less painting the wood.

These are great looking little "dressers", Shara. Adding all of the details really added a lot of build time to this project, didn't it? Thanks for this video. BTW: I like the cap. Happy New Year.

I think the word you were looking for was distressed. Happy New Year Shara! I finally got my shop completed and look forward to building the sliding barn door to the master bath. Rockler is opening a new store in San Antonio, so I'm excited about that. Great progress on your channel this year.

Beautiful and well done! Thank you for sharing your skills with us:-)

Ikea doesn't have anything on you. They look beautiful!!!!!

If I snap my fingers will you come paint mine too! Hahaha

So glad I found your channel because 🗣️ you are awesome…!!!!! What is the height on the nightstands/dresser?

You did an amazing job of building the oversized nightstands. I am a new subscriber to your channel and I am l◕‿◕king forward to watching your upcoming videos. Thanks for sharing.

"Distressed" is the word you were seeking for the worn paint look.

Hello Shara that is an awesome art piece !!!👍👍 do you know the total cost of the material you used to make those pieces i mean how much you spent to make both ?

Nice girl very nice🎉

Your KZfaq channel and Instagram account have ruined me lol. My wife has so many more projects for me now lol. You build some of the coolest projects!👊🏾😎

Letttttttssssss gooooooo!

I'm surprised you didn't put some glue on the end of those 1x3's since they were prone to splitting when fastened. Did you feel after assembly they wouldn't stress fracture or such? Happy New Year!

Have you ever built bunkbeds? I just recently started following you and quickly looked through your videos. I saw several bed videos, but I was hoping for bunks. I need to build some for my grandchildren, any thoughts or suggestions would be welcomed! Thank you

I thought only guys through away instructions!

11:27 I had to call my parents to see, we have an identical cat! 😂 Ours is female and is called Mel (Honey in Portuguese). What about yours? 😃

Very nice! Where do you get your edge banding?

Wgg HD at type of plywood did you use??? Sanded? Maple?

👍🏼❤

When cutting 2x2 are you using actual measurements?

What is the reason that many people use pocket hole screws, and where does the name come from?

Shabby chic

I absolutely hate the way drawers will not be flush with the front of the dresser when pushed back in - how can I avoid that??

Rustic or old English is another name for a scuffed appearance.

WHAT’S THE CAT’S NAME?!
