I was given old reclaimed wood from a house built in the 40's or 50's. Old rough cut pine 1x12's. I cut the wood to size to match the plans, however, I did have to modify the plans due to the actual true dimensions of the wood. After assembly, I appled 2 coats of shellac to the entire table. It may need a few more coats, but not wanting a glossy finish, I left it alone. Splinters were and are an issue, and the shellac did help to hold down the splinters.
Not having the 2x2 legs required glueing the 1x's together and glueing a veneer to the sides. If i had the legs the project would have taken less time.

I love what you did with this, and that you used salvaged wood. The legs would totally fool me, I'd never know that they were pieced together!
i made this king size head board using Ana's website and for the bed frame i used Shanty 2 Chic's website. i just had to convert the measurements to king size when cutting the boards. thats a rustic x leg end table next to the bed, i built using Ana's website also.
This was the best piece I have made so far, I had some trouble getting the angles right with the x's but in the end it worked out great and everyone can't believe its just plain old wood! Keep up the great work!
Moving on to the end tables!

Fantastic work! It looks gorgeous. What kind of poly did you use?
This was my first project from Ana's site and I have to say I was quite pleased how it turned out. This is a very sturdy/heavy duty end table that I am sure will last a very long time. I made mine essentially straight from the plans except changed the X's a little bit to compensate for my limited miter saw.
Our master closet had been empty for a long time due to "analysis paralysis", couldn't decide what to do... until I saw this plan. My husband was gone for a week and I was able to surprise him with an almost finished closet when he got home! I stuck with closet rods instead of galvanized pipes because I knew that would be his preference. I love it! Now to build something for all our shoes...

Thank you and thanks for the plans!
The hardest part of this project was definitely finding straight 2x2’s at Lowe’s! This was my first drawer too, but after a little headache getting it square I couldn’t be happier with it! It goes perfectly with our Farmhouse/Barndoor Headboard. I can’t say enough good about this site ♥️
Built 2 floating shelves and mixed stains together to get the look I was looking for. I love them.

This was the nursery armoire design we used. My husband modified it slightly. Beautiful isn't it.
I had left over wood from previus projects and needed an entry bench. The closest i made my plan inspired by the spa bench.

This is exactly how I was hoping to modify this! What did you use for the sides? Is the top 2 x 6? Thank you in advance!

This is exactly what I wanted to do! What did you use for the sides? Is the top 2 x 6s?

I believe the top is two 2x6s, with a 2x4 in the middle. The legs look to be two 2x6s, and there appears to be a 1x3 fascia around the entire front (legs, bottom, and skirt) which makes the legs look thicker than they are.
This was my very first build project! Ana White you are AWESOME. Each plan was so easy to follow. I added the headrest based on a version I found in the brag posts. It really does ensure that the back cushions stay in place!!!! Love it!!!!

Thanks. These have been the best alternate plans yet. I was looking for a headrest option as well, wasn't sure they looked as good, but this interpretations is beautiful. i will be copying it for my furniture.

Would love to see our altered plan that covers the backrest!
This is my take on the farmhouse table featured here on this site. The cut list was modified since I used reclaimed pallet material for my table base. I also used 2x12's for the top since I wanted mine a little bigger then the one on here. I took the extra time and effort to also add breadboard ends just to add the finishing touch to the top. The finish I used was simply whitewash for the base, the top was a combination of oxidation, black wash, white wash and distressing with misc. tools from the garage. We had fun (my husband helped)

What a beautiful table. I would love to make one but can you please tell me how you attached the end panels of wood at right angles to the others and then how you attached the table top to the bases as I see no signs of nails or screws? Many thanks
My husband built the table and it was the first time he has built ANYTHING! I stained and varnished it and made the runner. We are so happy with it!
Very cool plans! Lots of fun!!!
This project took me a weekend to build. I included pics of the build from start to finish. I love the new barn door hack using the pulley wheels.i used just a regular smoke stain and wax to finish the job.
Super easy and done in 1/2 a day
This started with me just slapping some wood together to see what I could do, then ended up with a beautiful (in my opinion) kitchen table. The table frame, legs, and base are all 2x4’s. The table top itself are all 1x4’s. I sanded down all the way to a 3,000 grit (yes, I said 3,000) and got the table top incredibly smooth. Plus, using the 3,000 grit paper really seemed to bring out the natural grain in the wood. I had a lot of fun with this build as it was my first real project. I also had a helper in this build. His name is Dr. Spencer Reid. He’s lazy and doesn’t do much but he is there for moral support. And lovins. 🐈
The hardware store didn't have untreated 4x4's so I used pressure treated wood since I was going to paint it. I adjusted on the plan and picked up bed rail hooks so I can remove the bed rails to move the bed easier. I used a chisel to inset the bed rail hooks. It worked out perfectly.
This the is first time I have ever built a peice of furniture. My best friend made all of her furniture in her house using her kreg jig and visiting Ana's website. I ended up building this in her garage since I was still in an apartment at the time. It was a total labor of coldy freezing love. :D Now I want to build EVERYTHING! We had to adjust some of the numbers on the plan and it cost a little more than $75 but totally worth it!
