This was a fun project. Not difficult to build, just a lot of pieces. Added counter space near to the stove.

Okay, don't mind the husband and the pooch in the background there! I fell in love with the Pottery Barn version of this table (actually, I've fallen in love with everything from Pottery Barn, if we're being honest here), so I've been wanting to make this coffee table for quite awhile. I found the legs on ebay for a really low price, so I splurged and bought premium 5/4" thick pine planks for the table top to make it look more substantial. This table was so easy to assemble using pocket holes. My husband and I both love how it turned out!

This was my first project and we think it turned out great..Thank you for sharing your plans and showing that anyone can do this.

I used the bench top from Ana's Farmhouse Table and took 1.5in off the legs to compensate.  Got the baskets on Amazon.

We loved making this easy and simple vertical toy box! Thanks Ana

I'm trying to revamp our family "launch pad" in time for the start of school and was hoping to have a box for each kid to drop off their school forms and stuff. The "numbered cubbies on the wall" plan is just not practical for us -- I don't need a lot of little cubbies, just a few big ones! So I modified it to work for us. The letters are each of my boys' initials.

Also, I used scrap wood and leftover paint. So basically the cost was almost nothing, just a few nails and some wood glue.

Thank you for the detailed plans and step by step pictures!

I had leftover lumber from building the full size table so I built this outdoor coffee table using the same design just a little smaller.

This was my first big project from Ana's website. It was definitely worth it.

I did not have any plans for this.  I had the dimensions from the West Elm Website so I did my best to match that.  My sister asked me if I could build this for her and I saw it as an awesome challange.  I used euro style hinges for the doors and the left side shelf is sitting on wood strips nailed in the sides.  There is also a shelf inside the cabinet.  I built the stand and she stained it.  

This was my second time welding.  I used a Mig Welder that my buddy had.  It was a little intimidating at the very beginning but Mig welding is super easy.  You can grind the welds down fairly easy too.  I sray painted it all with a flat black spray paint.  I think it turned out really well.  I had a steel shop her in town cut all the steel to the sizes I needed.  All I had to do was weld and paint.

I really appreciated your garage/mudroom project guidance. I stumbled on it as I was trying to figure out how to design my project. I basically copied yours!! 😁

You also turned me on to pocket hole joinery. Previously I have used a biscuit joiner and find it very challenging. Thank you, I am a convert!

Thank you so much for the plan. I created a console table by adjusting the dimensions (finished table is 54 x 18 x 30) and omitted drawers. Used Modge Podge to adhere raffia to table (this was the most time consuming part of the project). Finished with a clear coat of polyurethane. Based this project on a table I originally saw in the HGTV Green Home 2010 master bedroom. http://hgtv.sndimg.com/HGTV/2010/03/03/GH2010-105_03-master-bedroom-wid…

I can't take credit for the bed, just the steps. After my friend purchased a new bed for their daughter, she needed some helping getting into it. The plans for these steps were great and easy to build. Very sturdy and lightweight for kids to move around.

First ever project. Just testing my skills and all materials were low grade.  Next project will be better grade wood 

Used your plan as a start and improvised from there. Thanks

I have come across several tables and chairs for doll furniture and decided I wanted to make something a little different.

I made a basic table and used 64 1 1/8 inch squares.
32/32 painted red/black and the other sides painted pink.

table is pretty popular around town so I decided to test Ebay and my website www.funwithdolls.com and I actually started selling a few.

Mostly the same. Made smaller spacing for the seat (used 1x4 for spacing) and gave it a back (18" 15% miter) hand formed the front seat board and a bit of an overhang also hand formed the tops of the seat backs and armrest idea was it would be comfy with or without cushions. Ow and it's all construction grade lumber that I water sealed. Thanks for the idea!
