The Next Big Thing

I am trying to decide what Sam and I will do for our next DIY project. I have four strong contenders currently all of which are a decent amount of work. The first contender is framing out the bathroom mirrors in all three bathrooms like this one from {Show &Tell}...LOVE!


Next option is a floor to ceiling wooden headboard/focal point for our master bedroom made from reclaimed wood, like this one from Desire to Inspire or this one I saw on Fox Interiors:




Next is a farmhouse table for our kitchen. We currently have a bar height table and chairs which I have found are impractical and unsafe for children. I love the mix of a farmhouse table and benches with some awesome mid-century chairs and decor. I love this table but would like it beat up a bit more. I want to use these plans by Ana White though with the end result looking more like the second picture.



The final project is a pretty fun one. My oldest son Ethan loves trains and airplanes, so I decided it would be really fun to build him an airplane bed with bookshelves on the wings. Please excuse the mock up (perspective is off) it was just a quick one. The foot of the bed is where the front of the plane is and the bed is drawn to fit a full size bed.


So what do you think should be the next big project?
