Farmhouse kitchen island
The kitchen island I built from your plans for my wife. I used hickory and for the top I used rustic cherry.

I had to change the plan to better fit my son's room. I changed the depth to 22 and the width to 34 to fit in the corner. Big lesson learned don't use the worst wood possible where the drawer slides go, yikes the rigging I had to do was awful. Atleast no one can see it is all under the desk. :)
I made the Restoration Hardware couch and deck chair. I got really nice Sunbrella material cushions for $60 each at HD. I wanted to make a matching coffee table. I just threw it together. It's a little "jacked up".
Built using Rustic x plans. Made the doors from scratch using some scrap 2x6's I had laying around. Stained with espresso, one coat. Needs another and maybe a gloss coat.
I needed a birthday gift for one of our sweet neighbor friends, so I dug through my scrap wood stash and decided a small adirondack chair would be the perfect little project!
Thanks to Ana for the plans!
I did the chairs, table & footstool all from Ana's plans as a wedding gift for our friends' daughter. They turned out great and are so comfortable! I used 1x10 & 1x8 on the table & footstool so they would match the chairs.
This is the Ipex bookcase (plans on this site). My husband built it for our almost 11 year old's room. He modified it to be 36 inches wide rather than 48. Painting scheme done by me - she is into black and white/zebra.
We are pleased!!
My Husband and I built this for our son's 2nd Birthday. This is our first finished project!
We drilled 1/2" holes for play nails and screws in the legs and top. We also modified the bottom to have a shelf for added storage, just measured the inside dimensions and cut to fit. We also opted for a peg board on the back to eventually hang tools and some baskets for the nails and screws. The peg board is attached to the base and trim with glue and staples. We taped off a section on the back before using the polyshade to allow the glue to adhere.
I built these three tables for my aunt. She had specific dimensions that I had to alter the plans to fit. All in all it was a pretty easy project.
A piece of Palouse/Moscow/North Idaho History!
Hand-crafted by father and son from reclaimed materials native to the region, this is a one-of-kind piece of furniture of both substance and significance. The stock was sourced from the railroad depot that stood on the University of Idaho campus in Moscow for well over 100 years. The crops, forest products, and people of the Palouse passed through its doors and across its floors from the early days of westward expansion and settlement. Marked for demolition in 2017, the depot yielded lumber that had been harvested from old growth forests native to our region since time immemorial. The trees that produced the lumber-turned-dept-turned-halltree stood tall, proud, and mature at the time of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
The halltree’s back panel and trim are crafted from the depot’s tongue and groove flooring, and still bear the marks of their original milling. The remainder of the piece is constructed from the ceiling planks. Twice painted during the course of the depot’s sentinel watch over the commerce and culture of our region, the cream surface coat is yielding to the forest green base layer, giving the finish a depth and patina that testify to its age. The history of the Palouse literally passed over, under, and between every square inch of wood in this halltree! It now stands ready to serve a family for generations to come while reminding them of our pioneer past.
Dimensions: 39” x 15-1/2” x 78-1/2”
I went a little more high end for the table top, but really like the design for the frame

Wonderful work, the top is gorgeous and accents the base very well! Thanks for sharing.
I've always wanted Adirondack chairs but found them way too expensive to buy. I found Ana's plan a while ago and promised myself I'd make one this summer. Well I enjoyed it so much I did three of them!

Those are awesome! All you need to make now is a doll adirondak chair and you've got a complete set of Ana White Adirondack chairs! ;)
I have built this console quite a few times. Always trying different finishes. Love all of them. Have to say I always skip the X on the sides, I just get lazy towards the end :) Im in the process of building a couple more, will try to add the X to it this time...we will see :)
This was the first attempt at using the vaseline method to distress furniture and my wife loves it. I made the table top out of scrap 2x4's.
As Ana mentioned in her video, this project could be made with scraps. That’s just what I used. I used a lot of scraps and cut offs for this project.
I needed to make a K cup holder but also space to hold tea in addition to other coffee "toppings" if you well. In the pictures you can see mini creamers.
This modification was made by adding a small drawer in addition to the holes that would hold the K cups. The small drawer was made with 1/2” plywood (even more scraps) ripped just shy of 1-1/2”. I did this to make sure we did not see the plys of the drawer as I planned to add 1/4” plywood to the top all around. I wanted this to make it all uniform with the K cup area.
I added little rubber feet’s to the bottom as this will be on a granite countertop which could results in slipping and sliding.

Made this for my mother in law. She loves it, thank you for the plans. I cant figure out how to add the pics of the one I did for her hit it was awesome and my very first wooden build EVER
Built the 2x4 outdoor out of scrap and discount Home Depot wood. The stain was $.50 from the oops paint rack at Home Depot.
I built my new sofa!
I am so happy how it turned out. I had to translate all the instuctions in french, and modify the dimensions to adapt them to the lumbers I found in my country (France)
I had to change inches in centimeters too.
It was just a little difficult but I built it!!!
Thank you so much Ana, I am one of your fan.

Excellent work! Where did you buy a Kreg Jig? Is it available in France?

Did you use a mattress for your cushion? Did the plan fit that for you, or did you have to modify?

Did the plan fit the mattress exactly or did you have to modify it?

I don't know the size of a twin mattress but my pillow measures 180cm of length and 60 cm deep for a thickness of 14cm. I bought a foam mattress of 90cm of wide and of 190cm of length and I cut it. They are the size of a child bed in France.The size of wood are different here thus the sofa has no same dimensions as on Ana's plans. I adjusted according to the wood available here.
My spin on the rustic table. Used staircase spindles for legs, cut the side boards to accommodate. Rest of plan was pretty much the same. Wife wanted a big table, thats what she got.
I loved the country gray paint, so stayed with that. But my bed is one of the farmhouse beds and needed it to be a little taller. It turned out beautiful and have already made a second to match!
Pine box with walnut top and drawer faces. Behr paint on the box and tung oil finish on the walnut.
Designed a loft bed for teenage son. We used iKea shelving cubes for stairs/storage. The boards(flooring) are pine boards stained a dark brown. The other wood is painted black. The "headboard" is actually the bookcase shelf from his desk.
