Grandy Barn Door Corner TV Stand
I couldn't find any corner TV stands with the barndoor style that were big enough, so I decided to design and make my own using the Grandy buffet design.

Porch swing bed
Started off with the original design but enlarged it to fit an oversize single mattress. The mattress cost me $35 from a local faith farm, while the materials came in around $200. I decided to hang under my backyard pergola. Fun and easy project.

Swing bed
I want this! I just made a couple of plant stands for my front porch. My husband asked me what my next project was, why, a swing bed. (This was only my second project!) I want to put cup holders in those big ole arms! We have a house at the beach in South Alabama, so, you gotta "hydrate." This is an awesome swing. I can't wait to do mine...pillows to rest on, one foot on the concrete pushing me in a slow swing. Cold beverage in my hand or in my cup holder. Yep, southern girl has a new project. Love it!
Rustic Coffee Table Success!
The plans were pretty simple to follow, I did change the way I set the bottom shelf in because it wasn't very stable and I was worried it would eventually dip in the middle. I screwed some pieces of scrap wood onto the back to hold it together better and then built a ledge for it to sit on around the bottom. After that I screwed it into the and BAM.. much more stable..

Rustic X Coffee Table Plans
This looks like the plan you want:
http://ana-white.com/2012/07/plans/rustic-x-coffee-table
To find this, Under Plans, I did a search with Rustic X as the search term, and under Plans by Project type selected Coffee Table and clicked "Apply".
Ana has a lot of Rustic X plans, so you can even make lovely matching pieces if you like. Happy building!
2 Person Adirondack
A customer asked me to make them two singles and a double. Unfortunately, not as comfortable as the single chair. There’s nowhere to put one of your arms. If I do another double, I’ll add an arm rest in the center. The middle is supported by a double 30 degree leg.
Dresser to Buffet
I have been looking for a dresser to transform into a buffet. I posted on a facebook yard sale group and a wonderful woman offered me one she had been keeping in her garage for free.
Step one stripping a lot of old paint and sanding, sanding, and sanding some more. I found a stencil i like on etsy. Stenciled that design onto the top of my "buffet" with white paint and then when it was dry lightly sanded it. I then stained the entire top the color i wanted. 3 coats of varnish finish that off.
The next step was the bottom. The hardest part about that was getting all the old paint out of all the ins and outs of this piece. Once that was done, with the help of the husband, we removed all the rails and braces holding the bottom 2 sets of drawers. It was put together with interlocking pieces so taking it apart left some hold in the side and middle brace. My husband cut pieces to fit in there and were put in place with wood glue. Once dried they were sanded completely smooth. We used a 1/4" piece of luan for the back and 3/4 piece of pine for the bottom of the now open area. A little trim, 2 coats of white enamel and some new hardware for the drawers and tada a new buffet..lol.
Just got it in yesterday so I'm still decorating, but i love the way it turned out!

Mudroom Built-in with Sink!
We totally gutted a former hallway and closet to make this huge Mudroom. We followed the bench and cabinet plans, plus added in a laundry sink!

After building a few things from plans I decided to come up with something on my own, and from scraps I made this bench for my son.
Barn Style Greenhouse
Followed your excellent plans, thank you.
Adapted to make smaller...approximately 10ft X 8ft.
It gave me a very enjoyable project to complete during 'lock-down ' and with Greenhouse.
Steel panels (old roofing) were obtain from a kind neighbour for free and all external metal/wood was given several coats of 'Red Oxide' gloss Barn/agricultural paint.
Adaptions made by myself were :-
I put self adhesive 'Flashing' on the bottom wood of the vertical sides...to attempt to protect the wood in contact with the floor from getting over wet......time will tell if it works.
I made additional gussets to support the top piece of wood (attached to each end).
I had trouble with keeping the corrugated roof running parrallel....but the reason for this was that it was not manufactured with straight@right angle ends (when I held a level/straight edge along end - there was a quarter of an inch gap in the centre).
Can Shelf Organizer
We didn't paint it, but between two newbies, it only took an afternoon. It has freed up a ton of space in the cabinets!

Double Wide Camp Loft Bed!
Have two boys who where in need of more floorspace to play. Saw the great plans for the Camp Loft and decided to make a double wide. One platform and two beds.
All in all went together as designed. Eliminated the stairs for a ladder. Works great if you have a long wall.

Well done!
Really smart with the platform in the middle - I'm sure they love it!
Modified Corner Media Stand
I used the Tall Corner Media Stand plans as inspiration for this, but I didn't actually need it top be very tall, so I took off one of the shelves, and decided not to add the extra section for the cable box and what not.
I also liked the simplicity to it without all the trim, so I decided to leave the sides and top slats off and just stain it and add a 1x3 at the bottom for aesthetic purposes.

Measurements
Any possibility you could have an option for metric measurements on your projects. I assume that there would be many more metric speaking nationalities besides me that would find this helpful. Your country, and a smattering of others, are among the only countries that still use the old Imperial system.
Outdoor sectional
I changed the plans a bit and added backs to the chairs. I've never used a saw or a drill before, but I am thrilled with how easy this was to do. I love the end result!
I found cushions to go with the furniture at Target.
Tilt Out Wooden Trash Bin
Tilt Out Wooden Trash Bin
After 7 years of our trash can sitting out in the open, my wife decided we needed to do something about it. I saw the plans for this tilt out wooden trash bin, and slightly modified it using tongue and groove for the face panel.
Big Sandbox with Lid
Made the sandbox 6x6. Recessed it so it sits flush with the timber’s around our fire pit area. I added extra armrests in the middle that double as supports when the lid is closed in case anyone wants to walk on it. Filled the sandbox full enough that the armrests sit on the sand when closed. It’s very sturdy now for walking on and the kids have tons of room to play. Thanks for a great plan to work from.

Simple Outdoor Chairs for the Firepit
I used Ana's plan and made ten of these for our firepit area. The only thing that I changed was the back brace pieces....I couldn't get 1x2s so just used 2x2's.
Rustic corner desk
I bought the plan for this desk. Took me a day to put together and I think it came out decently. This is my second project from Anna's website. Very fun. The first went pretty well too...with some hiccups. Gaining more confidence every time I do something myself!

Ganing confidence!
That's what it's all about! Thanks for sharing, it looks great!
DIY Entertainment Center
Largest Build I have done up to date. It took a bit longer but it was so worth it. Wanted something different than all the entertainment centers I saw so I created a herringbone back. I love how it turned out.
