Cheap Matching Nightstand for the Headboard

The overall plan with this was to match the budget headboard while also being adaptable for the future. You can add different parts using the fittings. Longterm plan is to have options for shelves with some simple adapting.
Pretty simple design overall. This too only cost about 45$ using some of the spare hardwood, pine from my desk and fittings I had.
Hard to tell in the pictures but I cut slots in the back for charger cords. They'll never fall off the nightstand and have to go searching anymore. They stay right in place at all times. I also cut the bottom shelf pine about 2 inches shy of the wall to make room for the power bar to fit snuggly between the pine and wall making it flush with the shelf.

Super Cheap Headboard with Ambiance

This was a fun project to see just how far I could stretch a dollar. Found a French Door from the 1940s online for free. Had some spare hardwood oak from a flooring job, some framing pine and extra christmas lights (which I will replace with proper string lights eventually). Total project cost was about 45$

Hardwood Mocha flooring on the top and shots of it in the corners of the legs.

Sanded, cut down to size and repainted.

Lots and lots of clamps and tie downs to glue it all together

With bedroom lights on. Kept and used the original hardware. Keep the original feel and use every part of the buffalo! What can't be seen is the dark hardwood on the top sill and some of the trim details along the top.

With bedroom lights off. Ideal for  night reading and overall ambiance. I have plans to blacksmith some candle holders that'll be put onto the side legs. Add an easily reached backlight switch as well. It'll add to the overall ambiance and feel. I'm trying to keep it all as cheap as possible.
