Mountain Farmhouse Bedroom
Who says you can’t go mountain farmhouse? Used Ana’s plans for bed, nightstands and dresser and couldn’t be happier!

This is another one of those, honey I like this projects. My wife was doing her normal primitive furniture web surfing and came across this end table. It's really not to hard to build. All you need is 8ft of 1x10, 5ft of 1x12, 16ft of 1x3, and some spare 1x2 and 1x4. A few simple cuts and then you have a perfect little primitive side table.
My son and I had a blast building this table last October. I have been meaning to write and thank you for the great plans. We took the suggestion of staggering the legs for better access and it turned out great. I also used deck boards for the top to help reduce weight and they were already slightly curved on the sides which made sanding easier. Thank you!
My cost includes a nice Kreg Jig set up (approx $100)
Love this tv table! It was my husband's first project from Ana's plans, and it turned out really well. The most difficult part was deciding how to make the sliding barn door hardware, since paying $70 for hardware when the wood cost about that much seemed crazy. My husband built it and I stained it, Sunbleached by Varathane. A nice blue-grey.
Have a long wall and this was perfect! I love everything about it! I enjoyed working with miters for the 1st time! FUN!!!!
This wasn't my first DIY project but it was my build from this side and first real woodworking project and it's been the most satisfying to date. I made this table for Mother's Day for my mom who has been dreaming of the PB Cameron fixed trestle dining table but couldn't take the hefty price tag. Things I changed: - I added the "pegs" on the table ends to make it look more like the PB version. They are just 1/2" round wood plugs glued to the trestles. - I was going to add two more tabletop braces underneath (again to make it more like the PB version) but I cut one of them incorrectly so I just added on more in the middle. I'm turning the boo-boo lumber into a yarn swift; waste not. Things I learned: - If the wood is going to be stained and varnished, shell out for the *good* stuff. I had to put on way to many coats of polyurethane to make the cheapo pine boards smooth enough even after I had dampened it to raise the grain and sanded it. - Don't believe the stated length of the boards you buy. 36-inch boards are actually 36 inches and a bit. I ended up having to disassemble and re-cut my tabletop supports. - Practice with your jigsaw if you haven't made curved cuts before to see how tightly you can turn. Luckily I had extra ply to make another couple trestles after I botched the first two...

I've had to learn some of those things myself since I started building a year and a half ago. Sometimes it's frustrating and even costly, but when you learn it, you learn it and you never have to again. haha Unless you're really a gluten for punishment. ;-) Good job and thanks for sharing with us some of those lessons learned.

Thank you!
...and now I'm picturing someone with gluten intolerance being force-fed cupcakes as a form of punishment, haha.

ROFL - That was great, thanks, now I'm imagining it too.. HAHAHAHA
We had a big ugly frameless mirror in one of restrooms that builder had fitted as standard. Took it down and made this framed mirror instead.
Made from 4 by 1 with routed recess for mirror. Edges are 3 by 1s
Finished in Rustoleum Driftwood and two coats of Minwax Satin WIpe On Poly.
It is quite heavy so I fitted it to the wall with a French cleat made from two scraps of wood which also means it fits flush to the wall.
This rustic farm bed is handcrafted from reclaimed weathered barn wood. The plank design and mixture of tones and textures give it a distinct rustic feel. Each piece celebrates the unadorned beauty of salvaged wood. Our reclaimed barn farmhouse bed is truly transitional. And now the best part, it can be made in any size needed -- King, Queen, Full or Twin.
We couldn't find one in the store and my son wanted one for his birthday. I found an example online of a starwars themed charging station and he has played with it for years. Used some scrap wood and most of the cost was hardware and accessories.

This is so bad ass!! One of my favorite memories of my own childhood was a huge cardboard box play house that my dad made. It has 3 or 4 rooms, I loved it. This takes it to a whole new level! Fantastic!!

^^^ There are no words up there because I am speechless. This is the coolest FORTRESS I've ever seen.
When are you installing the moat??

Thanks guys, I'm lucky I have a husband who doesn't roll his eyes when I say, how about....... He loves building and so do I.
I used a combo of a couple of Ana White's sofa table plans and I changed them so that two tables would fit together at the angle of my sectional couch. I used pennies on the top and covered in epoxy resin.
First project from Ana White plans. Thanks Ana, looks great in my coffee bar.

This thing is AMAZING! If I was able to build as often as I do laundry, I would have a much more impressive brag list! Thank you for the plan!
Our first project from Ana-White.com - but certainly not our last! This preschool picnic table was an easy introduction for a couple of newbies. Our one-and-a-half year-old uses it all the time. Thank you!

Looks great! Did you use carriage bolts, or did you add some kind of caps to cover the screws?
love Ana! We moved from the city to a late 1800's Victorian farm house with no closets, no basement, no storage! This was a great Woodshop 101 project for my husband and me, and gave us extra space in the kitchen. Can't wait to do another Ana project.

This is awesome!!! Thanks so much for sending in a brag post!
My 15 and 12-year-old sons made two of these for me. Super easy, they followed the step by step instructions which were perfect, easy to read. They made two in only a few hours!
Built from printers triple console plan.
