Grandy Console/Couch Table

Thank you for the plans!
I used the following for the wheels, they are AMAZING and dont require you to tear apart any pulleys. These wheels have bearings in them too, which make them slide super quiet and smooth!

Bar Stool
![](/sites/default/files/3154812028_1341533733.jpg)
My wife and I needed bar stools for the kitchen and could not find ones we liked. Also, finding ones that were the height we wanted was a challenge. So, after seeing the plans for the Simplest Stool we decided to make them. It was really quite simple with the plans given. Even the angle cuts were not that bad. Thanks for the plans for this awesome stool.

IGBuilders Challenge Bailey Console
![](/sites/default/files/image_715.jpeg)
My entry into the IG Builders Challenge. Modified the Ana White Bailey Console a few ways. Instead of 2 large drawers, I installed 2 doors on each end, with 2 drawers in the middle. Century old barn wood used throughout. The legs are reclaimed oak floor joists, front stretchers are oak, rear stretchers are poplar. Heart pine planks users as door and drawers fronts. Heart pine front the same barn used as the top as well. Barnwood skins used on each end and the middle of the backside. Reclaimed shutters were used on the door compartment bottoms, and the rear. I may eventually add a lower shelf with some of the leftover poplar and barnwood skins at a later date.

Scrapwood garden markers
![](/sites/default/files/d_1.jpg)
Who doesn't like a great scrapwood project? I made these beautiful garden markers with pine, but cedar would have been even better! I just didn't have any on hand. I used 1x3 to put the name of my vegetables and 1x2 for the pickets. I screwed them with 1 1/4 inch exterior screws.

Dollhouse
![](/sites/default/files/3154812092_1341665172.jpg)
I combined my favorite elements from three of Ana's dollhouse plans to make this dollhouse for my kids. My favorite part is the stairs, which I cut from a 2x4 with a miter saw. I made this project from start to finish in one day while the grandparents took the kids, and it was ready for Christmas morning! I made simple furniture for it, too, which you can see in the second picture.

Furniture
Is there any way you could email me the plans you used for the furniture? or just individual pictures of the furniture? [email protected] (you may wanna copy and paste that people always get it wrong, haha).
I LOVE THIS
Our Farmhouse/Lydia Toddler Bed
![](/sites/default/files/3154844693_1398276956.jpg)
I fell in love with the Farmhouse Toddler bed, but decided to stray a little from the plan and made a couple changes. I chose to use 2x2 lumber for the legs and purchased mortise-free bedlocks from Lee Valley Tools so I could disassemble the bed to make moving it easier.
I lengthened the height of the headboard so it was flush with the bottom of the bed and also lowered the entire bed so it's only 4-1/2" off the ground.
Rather than attach the wood mattress slats, I cut and nailed small wood "spacers" that the slats sit between. This keeps the slats from shifting, but makes them quick and easy to remove to disassemble the bed.
I loved the look of the curved rails on the Lydia Toddler bed but extended them a bit further than the original plan.
The mattress we have was a different size than the orignal plan was based off, so I ended up using all 1x4 lumber and then just trimmed off about half an inch on each side before attaching to the legs with pocket hold screws.
I'm thrilled with this little bed and so far our daughter seems to enjoy it as well.

Planked Wood Sideboard
![](/sites/default/files/20200428_081823.jpg)
Build was very satisfying. It did present some challenges and a decent learning curve. Drawers almost drove me mad, my own doing, buffet wasn't level and top had not been attached and the drawers wouldn't line up. Failed to ensure i was level on the tile floor I was working on.
T-Shaped Countertop Island
![](/sites/default/files/inlaypin.jpeg)
So I made a 4ft and a 6ft put them on casters joined them like a “T” shape, it is a moveable kitchen island dining table! The top has epoxy in the middle with flowers to give it some pop! Everyone loves it that comes over! Thanks for all your ideas on your site; it was my inspiration!!!

Farmhouse bedside tables
Took 2 weekends to build 2 of them, they have a gently distressed finish.

LOOK GREAT!
I really like the farmhouse style furnature and the finish you used turned out really good.
Personalized Little Crate Group Gift
![](/sites/default/files/3154844837_1398444931.jpg)
With inspiration from Ana’s Little Crates, I prepared crates frames and slats separately so employees of a retiree may write on the slats. Once the writing was complete the slats were attached to the frames and presented as a personalized gift with examples of hanging or tabletop use.
Thanks
Slats – Black Latex
Writing – Sharpie, next time I may use Jell Pens.
My first real project
![](/sites/default/files/20160726_064034.jpg)
I started woodworking about 6 month ago and I love it!
I made our kitchen table and nightstands.
This was a real test! The drawers took as long as the frame, if not longer.
It's all worth it when it turns out this good though!
Thank you for all the wonderful plans, my wife practially has all the furniture in our house in line to built by me.

Wood X Coffee Table
![](/sites/default/files/brown%20xpin.jpeg)
I am totally in love with this design!! I added my own twist by painting the bottom “Gravelstone” to match with my kitchen cabinets and a simple “dark walnut” matte shine on the table top (1 coat). Once painted I sanded the edges and some of the legs to resemble antique wood. Looks fabulous!!

After school storage
I loved the idea of the charging cubbies and the storage area in this plan!
I needed something a little shorter, for my three younger boys to be able to reach the hooks, though. I modified the plans a bit for this. I also opted out on the drawers and just left the cubbies open. With my boys, the more simple something is to use, the more likely they will make the effort ;)
I added a 2x4 to the back for hooks. I wanted the wall color to show through the back, so I didn't use a back piece.

Dimensions please?
I am very new to building. I was looking all over the site for something exactly like this. Is there any way you could post your demensions? I know I should be able to figure something out, but yours looks perfect. I love it! Great job and thanks for sharing your project!

Dimensions
Kimara,
I'm so glad you like this! It has worked out perfect! Even my four year old uses his hooks!
The dimensions had to be specific for myself. Otherwise, it wouldn't have worked in the game room.
31 1/2"(L) x 12 3/4"(W) x 51"(H)
Let me know if you have anymore questions...
God Bless :)
