This build was the one that really got me into woodworking. I fell in love with this bed - and Ana White - as soon as i stumbled onto the plans online.

mini farm house tables

My brother-in-law built this plan as an end table for my wife and I as a present. We wanted to build a hallway table, so I decided to modify the plan to fit in the long hallway. It looks great and is very sturdy. I listed it as a weekend project, but it was VERY easy and fast to build, but the finishing took a while because of so much surface area & drying time.

Made this out of just 2 x 6 boards.  

This goes into the mud room next to the recycling unit that I just completed the other day. My first project out there was a wooden bench with re-claimed wood. Very simple. I finished all three pieces similar. I painted grey paint on parts of the pieces (two coats) and then used a clear polyurethane (two coats with sanding before and in-between) on the rest of the projects.

This project was easier then I expected, and I love the look. I almost bought one like this at Ikea last year. So glad I held off as this was way cheaper to build and now has more sentimental value instead!

I was able to find brown bins to fit at target.com for $6.50 a piece, and can't wait for them to ship here. 4 of the 6 will be used for shoe bins, and the other 2 will be used for hats and mittens (live in Minnesota). So much neater looking than the plastic shoe shelves we had before.

FYI: there is a cut missing on the cut list: It is the bottom piece. The cut is 28 3/4" and is not mentioned on the list or in the diagrams....

Made a smaller version of the fire truck bed for our two boys. The youngest will move "downstairs" when he gets out of the crib. It was fun, but lots of work! It took me about 5 weeks of weekend/late evening work.

Thanks for the great plans and inspiration.

Executive office desk withmatching hutch. Hanging file drawers on the bottom and pull out paper trays included on the top drawers. Adjustable paper tray in the hutch. Custom gray washed finish

I made this from the Ana White Build a $10 Cedar Tiered Flower Planter or Herb Garden plans. It was a quick and easy fun project to work on.

My daughters play kitchen, everything works... running water included!

I figured the first thing I should make was a bench to work on :)

I built this play kitchen for my daughter's second birthday during my newborn son's short naps or often with him strapped to me in his baby carrier. I spent more money on higher quality wood to save myself time and effort sanding the wood down. I splurged on a drinking faucet as it was the perfect size and a mini version of my real kitchen faucet. I used magnets on the fridge doors and oven door and a simple ribbon to prevent the oven door from opening too wide. I have built a few things befor-shelves, table, baby gate but consider myself a beginner who is still learning a lot about woodworking.

I built this for my daughter to go under her loft bed at the time. It was my very first time upholstering anything before! 

I just wanted to thank Lady Goats for the idea for this project. I got the plans from http://ana-white.com/2011/12/plans/rhyan-console-table and made some modifications. I wanted to use the table as an entry table, so I made it taller and longer to fit the space I had for it. I still have to poly it and will post more pics as it comes along.

As far as cost, I used 1x6 instead of 1x12 to reduce the cost for the project. I think at the most it came out to 90 (including stain, poly, screws, brushes).

And yes, I built it in the living room of my small apartment.

Thanks again!

Built this table for my daughter's nursery. She is going to be here next month so I'm trying to make sure her room is perfect for her.
This table was easy to build. I've been doing woodwork for about a year now so if I can do it you can do it, just make sure you have all the tools for the job :-)

Made the bed from wood that I got from the place I work.  It was weathered and rotting.  I was able to work around the rot.  I had to play with the finish to get it all of the bed pieces to match. The bed is really heavy because the wood was full 2" material. The smaller picture shows the actual color of the bed more accurately.

I love the workbench console plans so made them smaller to work as nightstands.

Decided to try and make lamps out of some firewood.  They worked for what I wanted.

Very simple, very easy book holder. Come to find out, it makes a great wine bottle holder as well. The picture alone can suffice as the plans. Enjoy!!!

I modified the plans to make a larger armoire to hand pants and store board games.
