An unfinished furniture project is an excellent choice for the home improvement enthusiast who enjoys the reward of using something in their home decor which they have completed themselves.
Since this style of furniture is available in many different stages of completion you can choose a project that is easily within your level of expertise.
Whether that means you will be creating your project from scratch from parts and plans in a box or placing the finishing touches of paint and stain for the look you desire, the level of challenge you desire will be waiting for you.
Regardless of the type of project you are searching to complete, there is a project just hoping to find your willing hands.
From cost saving measures when adding some home furnishings to raw wooden furniture to be stained and finished, you can find the perfect fit with this type of project.
The reward of creating furniture for your home or business, while wonderful in itself, may not be the only reason to get involved in this kind of do-it-yourself project.
Maybe you want to spend some quality time with your children, and using an unfinished bedroom furniture project will be just the thing you need to make it happen.
Something along these lines gives you the reward of creating your own unique look and style in your home decor, but also can give you priceless bonding time with your son or daughter.
Another great thing about doing a project like this with your kids is that you are able to cater the project style to your child.
You might consider letting them choose a particular motif or style from one of their favorite stories or movies.
Another option would be to spend time planning out the entire design with them, or if you have a little one who is more artistic, maybe it would be a fun exercise to build "from the hip" so they can express their identity through the furniture.
Something like this can help them bond with you in the process.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with going down a simple road of taking the bedroom furniture and applying a solid coat of paint.
When you simplify a project in this way, it can take most of the headaches out of the project.
If you want to add a signature to any of the pieces, you can always do something special like using hands or feet as a painting tool which can add a personally styled look.
Think about using footprints or hand prints as designs for uniqueness.
Also, be aware you will want to use very different colors to bring out the designs in the most striking way possible.
Maybe, you will want to include a special saying as well, so your child will have verbal memories to hold onto as well.
There are so many different ways that you can decide to go with unfinished wood furniture.
I can't even begin to scratch the surface in an article of this scope.
I would, however, like to give you some additional ideas which might spark your imagination when you get to the project.
If you are a person who loves the colors and texture of wood there are a lot of different stains on the market which can create amazing pieces of furniture when used.
Assemble it, and use it with just the raw wood.
This can give you a great country look, or possibly a second hand furniture feel.
Granted you will give up some on the longevity of the furniture this way, but you can always use it as another unfinished furniture project in the future.
