Made this cute little bed for my three year old Granddaughter....she absolutely loves it!!!
This is a version of Ana's industrial closets used in a new house. Everyone that has seen it thought it was cool. I used 2x4 for uprights and shelf supports. Shelves are 1x4 and the rods are big box store closet rods.
Thanks a lot for the free plans. We enjoy out new deck !
Wanted to make a table for my knife making projects. Often watch tutorials online so I built a frame to house 2 computer monitors and attached a spare laptop to the underside of table. Dimensions are pretty close to original plan, little taller (with the obvious height for back 2x4's. Sheet of plexiglass over monitors. Added baseboard trim to create "pool" for tabletop, adding a bottlecap epoxy top later.
Here is the latest Table I have made. I cant get enough of this table design, the rustic bold feel blending with curved lines is awesome.
Patio sectional
Covered sandbox with folding benches. It was surprisingly easy to build and a lot of fun. I opted to forgo the pocket holes this time.
I found the Little Sloane desk and bookshelf on the Land of Nod site. I thought it would be a great bday gift for my niece, who has a very small bedroom. I did not have an actual building plan to use, but I loosely based my plan off the Leaning Bookshelves project in Ana's book. The picture I have is when I first gave it to her and then a few with it in use.

Hi Ana, Thank you so much for sharing this project! I just uploaded some pictures of the desk and bookshelf in use. Thanks!

Thank you! Please do draw up and share the plans. It was a fun build!
My wife asked me to make a pair of these to go with the outdoor table I built

This bench came out great. I love the finish.
I am going to be building one of these soon. I have been trying to think of a clean way to attach the little "y" pieces without the back of the bench looking too messy. How did you attach yours?
Made this coop in a weekend. $140 in material. Still a bit of work to do.
Ana's spa bench inspired me this project. My shoe rack had been screaming 'foul' for a long time and I had been on the market looking for a three-tiered shoe bench. The benches I saw online were either too small or too expensive. So when I found this plan, I said "why not?" So the rest is history.
From the rustic X end table plan, I made mine slightly taller and a little more narrow to fit my space. Also decided to do a chevron top
Let me start by saying all of the credit for building this beauty goes to my husbands super talented 90 year grandfather!! I found your plans a few years ago & instantly fell in love but sadly did not have the skills or confidence at the time to tackle such a project. Luckily “Pal” (aka hubby’s grandfather) so graciously jumped at the task & built this for my girls as their gift from “santa”! I recently gave the interior a complete DIY budget makeover & my girls are in love! With all of the wonderful memories they’ve created & will continue to partnered with the fact that I can eventually tell them their GREAT grandfather handmade this for them makes this that much more special! ❤️

Love the story behind the build, very special indeed!
I meant this cupboard to be more like Patrick's Jelly Cupboard...but my infernal "let's customize everything!" attitude morphed her into what she now is. The open bottom shelf is exactly sized to hold glass milk bottles awaiting return to our local dairy (I am SO lucky!), the bottom shelf behind the doors is large enough for sidewalk salt and potting soil, and the upper shelf behind the doors holds bug spray, spray paint, and odds and ends. The top shelves hold baskets...one for library books and store returns, one for things that need to go farther (like to our relatives), and one just for looks. I guess.
The bottom construction is entirely plywood. The face trim is 1x2 pine, the footer is a 1x6 poplar board, and the top of the construction (including the short support legs for those shelves) is poplar (from a garage sale - I saw it back there, asked a price, and walked away with a $5 board of poplar at 1x12@10' - it never hurts to ask!). The doors are cedar (leftovers from the bench construction to the left) with hardware cloth we had on hand from garden projects.
The body is painted in an off-the-shelf Behr white, and the doors are unfinished cedar, inset with a magnet closure at the top center. All the other hardware came from garage sales. If you can see them, there are a couple of cross supports at the back of the piece...they are discarded hardwood floor boards, stripped, sanded, and tung oiled.
I absolutely love my mudroom now! It looks like I spent a fortune getting this tailored, custom look, when all I really had to spend was about $70 total (including bench, coat rack, AND cupboard), plus some creative juices and elbow grease! I keep walking back in there to just stand and glow over it...

WOW! First off, the workmanship is stunning, and I love how you constructed the doors. The fact that it was only $50-70 only adds to my liking, but it really just seems so... Natural! Does that make sense? Like, it just looks like it belongs there and is cozy and inviting. Truly amazing job!
Here is my spin on the Farmhouse bed. I made the entire thing 8 inches taller, added a couple random pieces here and there, and stained it dark walnut. I also modified the plans to use a box spring and bed rail fasteners to make it easier to take apart.
Built this for our son's nursery.
This little chair turned out really well. The only significant changes I made to the plans were to cut the back slats in an arch, round the corners on the arm pieces, and round-over all of the exposed edges.
Yesterday I built two of these for my wife and I's room, we just moved from Hawaii to Arizona. The plans were clear and simple, and the end product turned out awesome. Next I will tack the dresser/tv stand. Thank you Ana

This nightstand is absolutely stunning!!!! Thank you so much for posting, I love it!
I have been holding a really cool farm pallet in the garage for 3 weeks. I finally decided to use one of the slats with the 2x4 supports to make this bench. Only 7.97 for a box of screws!
The main difference is my cart is the width of the shelves. My wife wanted something wider than a 2x12 so I combined (2) 2x8's with pocket hole screws. This is my first real build and I was surprised at how strong the shelves are with just pocket hole screws! I also made the cart counter height as she will be using it in the kitchen.
Rustic table plans with slight modification of the width and the legs were mounted differently for a little added flair. So many finishes to choose from....
