Close your eyes. Inhale to the count of four and exhale to the count of four. Remember that only breathing in and out of your nose will calm your nervous system.

With so many choices available, many people find that a chest of drawers can be used as living room furniture, where toys, games and blankets can be stored. Or, choose to purchase a chest of drawers for dining room furniture, storing table linens and extra silverware.

Storage bed plans can be used for creating all sorts of different kinds of storage under, at the head or at the foot of your bed. Here are few ideas to get you started on your next do-it-yourself woodworking bed project.

Cat/Cow Tilt: Place your hands on the armrest. On an inhale, open your chest and look up to the ceiling (cow). On the exhale bend your chin to your chest and round your back arching it like a cat. Repeat this four to five times.

Years ago, every young woman would have a blanket chest or cedar chest of her own. She would begin stocking her “hope chest” with items she was saving for the day she married. These beautiful chests were often hand carved and trimmed with charming details that made it uniquely hers. Although most young women don’t plan years ahead for marriage anymore, the popularity of blanket chests is seeing a resurgence.

A blanket chest in the family room or living room can hold afghans for chilly evenings, magazines or books between readings, or board games. You can keep everything safely stored out of sight until you need something, reducing the clutter and keeping the floor free of obstacles. A well made chest can also provide sturdy extra seating when you have guests.

Another reason why I like the free plans on minwax.com is these projects are all set up to also be a free woodworking lesson. The wood project plans include free woodworking lessons with step by step instructions with helpful hints, including shop safety thrown in. And since these projects are sponsored by Minwax there is detailed advice for applying the finish coat to each project.

Palm Pushes: Hold your arms out in front of you so that they’re above the head of the person sitting in front of you. Interlace your fingers and then invert the interlaced fingers and push your palms away from you. Take a few breaths in this position.

The storage bed plans mentioned are all definitely practical when it comes to finding extra space in small areas of bedrooms and they look great too.
