Modeled after the rustic table. I made it smaller and taller. I used Pine boards and golden oak stain and also jacobean stain. The legs can come off by unscrewing them.
Hello Everyone! This is my FIRST brag post here on Ana-White.com - but not the first project that we've built from her awesome plans. :)
We have an unfinished basement that desperately needed some shelving because 1. It's our workshop in the Winter and 2. We don't have an official 'storage' room in the basement of our split level home. When I saw these plans I immediately thought they could be modified to fit our space and get my stuff off the floor!
I modified the plans just enough to fit our space. After reading through them completely, I realized for an 8 ft wide space (beside the stairs) I only needed three supports for the shelves. Easy! The only trick was fitting the shelf into the space AFTER installing the shelves. Because I had walls on two sides (unlike the tutorial) I couldn't do the shelves as the last step.
I LOVE how these turned out! They are a strong as a ladder (we tested them... :)) and they hold everything I need them to, and a little bit more. It's a definite improvement on my previously messy, cluttered, saw-dust covered space ... :)
Had a great time building this!!! Thanks for the plans!
Hello everyone!
I'm about to secretly make that jewelry box for my wife. But I first decided to create a 3D version of it in Blender (to visualize how it looks and what I may tweak).
I thought I would share it with you all as it ended up quite well. It's not the sleekest model you'll see... but it was the very first time I used this sofware (it took me several days to finalize this object).
Also note that there are no measures here as I didn't scale it properly.
Anyway... I'll come back later on with the real thing once it's done. I can provide you with the .blend file if you want.
Thanks for the great ideas!! Bye for now
Built this to use as a coffee/smoothie station in our kitchen area. We had some extra space and this was the perfect use for it!
My first attempt at making doors.... turned out pretty well. I might add some magnets just to assist keeping the doors from freely swinging.
This was a simple yet very time consuming building. Lots of pieces and lots of sanding. I am really pleased with how it turned out. I stained the edges of all the 1 x 4's prior to assembly just to make things easier. I also increased the sides of the chair from 24" to 26" and set the seat height to 18" to match the bench.
A local South Floridian found me through Pine+Main. She needed two beds for her older kids. Client hired me to build two queen size storage beds based on the Sumatra Storage Beds from Pottery Barn. These beds took over eight weeks to build. My first time making drawers boy was that a challenge. I installed full extension drawer glides to access all the content in the drawers. Bed comes together in 3 pieces. It is stained Varathane's Dark Walnut. And the top coat is the Rust-Oleum Triple Thick Polyurethane in a matte finish. Built with Purebond plywood. These beds are super heavy and super strong.
Easy to build. Just used 1x4's and 1x3's.

Awesome looking project! And well done. Do you happen to have any plans for it? I'd like to have one at my house.

Wow, this is plain awesome. Do you have detailed plans on did you make one. Am planning to make a cabinet which fits this dart board - Winmau Blade 5? Will it fit inside it?
My two daughters really enjoyed helping daddy make these birdhouses but most of the loved painting them.
This cart was smaller then I expected but makes a great little addition to my office
I'm turning my messy sewing room into an organized craft/guest room, so I made a murphy bed to conserve space. I used corrugated tin on the the face of the bed so that I can use it as a magnet board while not in use as a bed.

The estimated cost is $100, but the hardware linked from the original plan was over $300. Do you have an alternate method of mounting this?
Fri, 05/17/2013 - 11:23
I think that link was a suggestion if you want an assisted lift/lowering system, and that hardware is part of what makes regular Murphy beds so expensive. I just used door hinges--3 for $8. It's not that heavy to lift and lower the bed, in my opinion.

Thank you for your reply! If I make this project, I think I'll try the door hinges. It won't be frequently used (a few times a year) and I'm pretty sure we can handle the minimal weight for those few occasions.
P.S. I really like the styling with the wood and corrugated metal, it looks sharp!

thanks for sharing the murphy bed. have been looking for a space solution for my daughter's bedroom. the corrugated tin look sharp in this project--my daughter would like the corrugatged tin as well--except for hot pink stain on the cabinet.
anyone know where to get hot pink stain?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to bring it up off the floor some?

Paint tin with dry erase or chalkboard on one side for daily notes?
This is a bit larger than Ana’s plan. I added additional support to the table top and added a braced opening for the umbrella. I also went for a more rounded finish by rounding all the corners of the table and benches with my jigsaw and then sanding to create smooth curves.
Ok, so no one is going to get really jazzed about this but me, but hey.. I actually had to cut this, which I did on my own with no help from the hubs and nail in the bottom boards. That was a bit tricky cause I used other pallet wood so I didn't have to rob any of the nice stuff from my scrap pile. :-)
We built this coop from an existing playhouse and used Ana's plans to build the run! So easy and turned out perfectly!
This was made from several heavy duty palettes that were used for delivering stone. Because of the wood I could get off the palettes, I switched the thin and thick pieces so that the slat gaps were where the 2x4 pieces were missing instead of the 1x4s.
This is modified from Ana's Simplest Armoire plan, re-sized to fit the door (already had this, from another project -- I couldn't part with it when that room was remodeled- that gallery glass insert took me so long to make) and deep enough to hang clothes. Used my favorite new toy, the Kreg jig for this.
Such a fun project, now we're hooked! We've made a bedroom full of pieces to go with this one, and still making more.
Ana, thanks for the inspiration!
I put the two planter boxes on this site together to get a perfect little lattice box for the space by my door. I get lots of compliments and hopefully soon I will have yummy jasmine welcoming my guests.
We used ana's plan but modified the top

This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for but I can't find the plans that were used to build it. Do you happen to still have the link for them?
Pottery Barn inspired headboard was created by using a modified version of the Reclaimed Wood headboard. I turned the planks vertical and cut them 32" long. I added a piece of rope ceiling trim. For the finish, I spray painted the whole piece black. After it was dry, I dry brushed cream paint on top. I finished it off with polyurethane.

I was thinking of running planks vertically for the Reclaimed Headboard too but ended up doing a different headboard all together at the last minute. I really like how yours turned out. Great job on the cost too. I don't think I've ever seen a 70% off rack at Home Depot. Now I want to run up there real quick to find it!

I'll start looking for this cart. Thanks for this!!!
Only slightly modified cottage bench - I made the storage area bigger and added shelves to put my shoes. Only my second project so it's not perfect (especially the paint job) but I loooove it! Sure, the shoe rack I had was perfectly functional and bigger, but this is waaay prettier.
