Side tables made from leftover pine and spruce, using Ana White's Mini farmhouse bedside table plans to match the headboard. Took about a day to do two.
My first build! I tore apart two old pallets to get the surface boards for the table. The skirting is 1 x 6's from the hardware store. I need larger casters but am saving up for the real vintage ones.

My daughter cleaned her room so instead of renting a dumpster I hauled it to the dump i mean"land fill". Anyway instead of coming back the normal route they detoured us around the dump and I found the mother load of pallets. You could ask and they will be free if your "land fill" is like mine...

I worked at a candy factory that received several pallets all day long and I loved the ones that had writing on them, like Ghirardelli (a chocolate company), Blommer (chocolate manufacturer) and a few others! I've picked up a few and have made picture frames and shelving from some.

I took some pallets from the pumpkin patch last week, with the dream of making something similar!! I want mine a little taller so I am going to attempt a shelf or something, I have had my casters for weeks and was psyched to find the free pallets! Great Job!

Love your site and the fact that you share so much info for Diy's. Where is the best place to get the caster wheels? Vintage are sooo expensive so I got to believe that they are out there new with the idea in mind to antique them..
Thanks for all that you posted and shared..

The two best sources I've found for cart wheels are Menards and Harbor Freight. I think you can order them from Rockler or Lee Valley too, but I know that the two physical stores have a good selection and the prices are reasonable.

I love it! I've been searching for one to buy but might try to make my own now I've seen yours....and definitely more satisfying when you've build something yourself from scratch. Fab job.

I want something like this only I might make it taller. Also you can search Goodwill for antiquish castor wheels! Good job!
well after I made my daughters bunk beds my toddlers were begging and begging me to make them a bunk bed so this weekend I decided to make a toddler bunk bed. So here it is and I'm here to share with you all.
Tue, 01/07/2020 - 12:23
We will be making this for our toddlers. I love this.

Use these plans but scale ut down to size for a toddler matress or crib mattress
plans arent available for the toddler size because its not standard compliance. Retarded I know ...I used the classic bunk. Bed plans and modified them....they are perfect for a beginner
Hi Ana,
Just wanted to take a minute to show off a few of my finished projects. I started doing this about a year ago when I found your site and downloaded the $55 fancy x desk plans. Well I've since put those plans away and am making my own! I use all new lumber from the big box stores and have discovered a few techniques to achieve the finishes on these. Thanks for looking and I'm about to post some more!

I made this one three inches taller and two feet longer and decided to miter the top. I also used a LOT of glue and blue Craig screws.
Great storage island project!
This was a fun, easy and inexpensive project. Ana's instructions are very easy to follow. I modified her plan, only slightly, by adding 1X6 to the arms of the chairs, as well, I added a 1X2 cap to the top back of the chair. I also built four (4) accent tables (not stained yet) and a bench. Now I have a great set of outdoor furniture for my deck!
Well, one thing's for sure. Follow Ana's plans and everything will come out just right.
Oh. And another thing. I can't get my kid out of this bed! It's awesome. And really simple to make.
Thanks, Ana!
First of all, thank you for the inspiration and foundation for my daughters bed! I knew I had to be a bit creative from the start because the plans were for a twin size and I was building a full. I used your plans for a place to start and ended up putting my own twist in where I could. This is an interactive build complete with the bed, a dry erase board, plenty of cork board, TONS of storage, and a "secret" compartment behind the dry erase board. Oh, and the fully functional desk that my second grade daughter uses to the full extent. Thank you for what you do Ana, without your inspirations this couldn't have happened!
Hi fellow builders!
It's Jen from The House of Wood! Today I’m sharing this beautiful Guitar Display Case. I've been wanting a place to display my guitar, and this definitely fits the bill, with a glass (acrylic, actually) panel door, motion-sensored battery-powered LED lighting, and gorgeous rosewood guitar hanger. And I designed it so that you can build it out of half a sheet of plywood! Get the build plans for my Guitar Display Case at JenWoodhouse.com.
First Anna project, I needed a bench by the pool, so I did waterproof it, which is holding up well, and it's extremely nice even with my limited skills. Definately worth the time and sanding.
Things I learned, need to measure each cut out. I didn't, so my slats are not all the same length. Still works really good, but I should've measure, cut, measure, cut, because I didn't take into account the width of the blade. I wouldn't use so much wood filler. I really glopped it on there. The sanding and staining pre, good call.
I would've used 2 pieces of wood for each leg.
Well, next one. I've already learned so much from making it and had a great time making it. Can't wait to get started on the table to match!

Thanks! First thing I ever did. Teaches you a lot
This is a wall ornament I made for my daughter for their get away home on the golf course at Canadian Lakes, MI. "No animals were hurt in the mounting of this moose head" The only thing to suffer was a few pieces of scrap wood that I had laying around.
Fri, 08/09/2013 - 06:14
Very cool! Did you come up with this idea on your own or are there plans for this?
Fri, 08/09/2013 - 08:24
My daughter say a small one on a shelf in a little restaurant in Stanwood, MI and told me that she would like one, only larger. That was as large Asia could make it wit the scrap wood that I had laying around.

My daughter say a small one on a shelf in a little restaurant in Stanwood, MI and told me that she would like one, only larger. That was as large as I could make it with the scrap wood that I had laying around.
This was something my wife needed for the kitchen. I told her to find one that she liked and I would build it. This took about 6 hrs because I was building from a picture and no measurements. I dropped the shelf a little lower so my wife could store her mixer and stuff on it. Needless to say I think it came out pretty nice. We are still going to paint it and put one more coat of stain on the top.
Joined 1 x 3 boards together with pocket holes and wood glue. The hoop is reused from an old " over the door" hoop. Decided to just drill straight through the boards into studs. Really easy and my son loves it!

This is a work of art as much as it is a fun addition! Love the stain colors! Thanks so much for sharing a brag post.
When our outdoor furniture started falling apart, we decided it was too expensive to replace until we found your plans for the “Modern Outdoor Chair from 2x4s and 2x6s.”
The design was almost exactly right.
The only change we made was to make the arms taller so the cushions from our original set would work. Instead of 2x6s for the sides we changed one of the boards to 2x8 and adjusted the arm height by a couple of inches. We made the chair first.
We then used the plans for the Loveseat and completed our set.
After painting the first chair after assembly, we decided it was easier to cut the wood and paint the parts prior to assembly and touch it up after.
The design adjustment matched perfectly. We also created a coffee table using the same type of assembly.
We know these loveseat and chairs will last!!!
Thanks so much
Kim and Scott Griffin
My husband and I were able to put this together over the course of two weekend days. Then it took me an eternity to paint/finish it. But we love it now and so does our little girl!

This was an easy two day project that turned out great. My daughter loves it. I made the foot board taller to keep the mattress from sliding off. Thank you for the plans.
Using Ana's great Reclaimed Soda Crate Caddy plan I built the perfect wood caddy for my bathroom by just adding rope handles and stenciling "BATH" to the front.
My mom had been wanting a corner cabinet in her dining room forever but every one we found was mad expensive. So I built her one as a gift. She loves it! I used left over paint from her dining room walls so the colors match exactly.
