Chelsea, who learned woodworking from her father, fabricated the doors throughout the ADU herself out of pine and birch plywood. “I couldn’t find doors I liked within budget and it was easier to build them myself,” she says. The hardware is from Kwikset. Chelsea made the side chair for her son’s room and the desk is the same one she used when she was a child. She bought the nightstand from the Salvation Army and restored it. Photo 5 of 412 in Favorites by Stephen Nychay from Budget Breakdown: One Way to Get Your Dream Home?
