Fireplace Bumpus. I decided to add a hearth. I am so pleased with project.

This was my first project so I stuck mostly to the original plan. The only change I made was to make the width 16 1/2 instead of 15 1/2 to fit the pad. I was going for a driftwood finish to match the crib we got.

Thanks for sharing this plan, I served to use a round glass tha I have saved, 

This was not built using one of Ana's plans. I have a book of 2X4 projects that my daughter gave me and actually got me started woodworking. This beauty was one of the projects. It was easy to build and easy to put together but not easy to paint. The lattice was the cheapest she could buy and was "furry". I tried sanding which took forever but it was still a mess to paint. I am including the link to the plans: http://woodtools.nov.ru/projects2/WoodPlan/lattice-bower.pdf
If you build this be sure and sand and paint before putting together-it's so much easier.

It looks amazing in her backyard and she is loving it.

Well this is a project I made from plans from this site and we love it ! Is my first peace of furniture I've ever made and I think it was Farley easy my wife saw the pictures and ask me if I would make it & I was like I'll try and it turned out beautiful everyone who's seen it love it very sturdy actually it was completed right on time for thanksgiving day. I want to thank Anna and whoever posted those plans we love our big table and matching benches : )

Chose the small firewood shed project as a "template" if you will .. built this to house our garbage cans and eventually put a gate on it to "help deter" the Florida black bears (we do multiple things to keep them at bay) but this will also just be a nicer looking way to keep the cans outside.

I modified the floor since the firewood shed had a floor that was suitable for, well, firewood but not so much for rolling garbage cans. Had to leave the one slat off the back for the depth of the can which I didn't completely account for in the beginning. Overall, still need to paint it and water seal it but happy with how it turned out.

Saw this plan and knew I had to make it. This is her first BIG GIRL bed. Her reaction made it all worth it, "Daddy I am going to sleep in this bed FOREVER!" We stuck with the hinged storage under the first two steps but turned the space under the top step into a little closet for her dress up stuff. We also strung rope lights in the playhouse section for added fun lighting.

I was inspired by Ana to DIY and save a lot of money. I bought $17 plywood which was the cheap stuff. Lots of knots and rough. I sanded the plywood and cut it into 8 inch planks. I rounded the edges and stained it one time. I nailed it directly to the subfloor and used liquid nails as a second bonding agent. After the floor was nailed in I re stained it and applied 9 coats of flooring poly. It turned out so good im doing the entire 1400 sq feet upstairs of my home! I plan on making many of Ana's furniture projects to fill the rooms once its all complete!

All of the wood is recycled from pallets. The hardware is also recycled from old kitchen cabinets. All sides of the cabinet are paneled with planks of pallet wood. The plans were awesome to follow! After a certain point though, I had to go rogue because I was using different wood. 

My first project! Luci looks like a demon.

I slightly modified the plans to give them more of a "Saddleback" style. I used a 2x10 for the seat, then belt sanded for an hour to give it the concave shape.

My wife wanted a dresser and a bed for our two year old foster daughter on her second birthday.  Since half the dresser drawers are not useful for a toddler I considered a Captain's Bed or Mate's bed but couldn't find one.  I modified the Traditional Wood Toddler Bed plan adding drawers underneath and painted it white.   My little girl loves it.   It turned out nice enough that my oldest daughter asked me to make another for my grandson since his convertible bed will be converted back to a crib with a new granddaughter on the way.  Her only request was to color it Espresso Brown.  I have included the picture.  Thank You for the ideas.   God Bless You and your faimily

After realizing how much solid bed frames were selling online, I started googling. Thankfully I came across the farmhouse design! It was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Total for wood and paint etc was approximately $400.

I had to take 2 redwood trees down last year so I learned to mill my own lumber. This picnic table is my first attempt at furniture. The dimensions of the wood is beyond "full" so a cutlist would be meaningless. For reference the table top boards are 2.25"x9.25"x7'.

The inspiration is from the Fancy X Farmhouse Table project on this site.

I don't know how you would price or time this because I started from logs 8^)

This site is awesome!
