cross between a kitchen island and the x frame console table. LOL

Cross breeding furniture, gotta love it! :0)

Spent forever building this modified version because I couldn't figure out what kind of drawer faces I wanted. Finished with General Finishes gel stain and Minwax Paste Finishing wax. 

We needed a guest bed for our guest bedroom. So I built the storage areas under the bed out of plywood and boxed them up. The bed would probably look better with a headboard, but we decided to just do that curtain style headboard.

I had seen different beds similar to this, and I just had those in mind when I started. I didn't follow any specific plan except for what I had in my head.

It was painted with an oil-base white paint.

I love this plan. I made this for my toddler and he loves it! My daughter is too small to climb on but she's always trying. She loves it too.

I made a bench from head/foot boards left from a bed I made many years ago that was taking space in our shed. When I searched for trestle table diy, I knew this was just what I was looking for. Thank you for sharing your ideas!

I made this dresser for my sister's nursery. The room is fairly small, so she wanted a changing table on top of the dresser to save space. We also added a third row of drawers.

Really liked Ana's 20 second tidy up table, and wanted to try to have something like this for my son. Then saw the activity table at RH and tried to replicate it down to the exact same finish. Made small changes here and there such as adding 4 individual drawers, different wood dimensions, etc. He loves it and uses it lots for his Thomas the Train Set. Thank you again Ana.

My son and I made this table this weekend in just a couple of hours with no problems. The directions were clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing them with us.

My husband and I built beds for our daughters' american girl dolls for Christmas. It was the first time we'd ever built anything and we learned a lot. So fun!

I used reclaimed fence wood instead of plywood.  Just put together three planks to make the side/top/bottom pieces.  I adjusted the size a bit since I had limited space for it to fit into.  This was my first ever furniture project and my first use of my new kreg jig.  

Love, love, love our king bed I build based on an adaptation of Ana's design.  I did the slats a little different, and used 1"x 2"'s and cut them in order to make a slot for the slat.  i also used non-mortise bed rail fasteners (from Amazon) so the bed could be taken apart easily.  This was my first wood working project and now I am hooked!  I am also a quilter and made the quilt for it too!  I did it on a long weekend by myself.  I was probably a bit slower than most folks considering it was my first woodworking project, so I was constantly looking up how to do things on Youtube.

Made this as an entry table did the drawers out instead of in like the plan. Love how it turned out!

My wife and I saw a large table and chairs at a local antique store priced at $1000...

It was nice and probably worth what they were asking, but after a failed attempt to negotiate the price down to a more reasonable number, I decided to build a table.   I was in the thinking stage when it hit.  I've been wanting to tear down this random privacy fence in the back yard ever since we moved in a few years ago and so......   a table was born from an old fence..

You cant tell in the pictures but this table seats 12 comfortably. ( 4 on each side and 2 on each end).  it is 7' by 4'  

Great project with super clear instructions!  Love the look of the sawhorse legs and had just completed a live edge table top, so merged the two for this coffee table.
