I LOVE the way this turned out! I used truck bed liner for the floor and the sides because one of the dogs is still a puppy and truck bed liner is TOUGH and waterproof (in case of accidents)! I made one side of the crate huge and one side small to match the size of our dogs. The really nice thing is that you can't tell by looking at it that it is two different sizes inside. This looks so much better than those ugly wire or plastic crates.

I built this bed a little higher so it will last my daughter a lot longer.
Such a great way to get back all that floor space! The 2x4 frame makes it super strong as well.

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.

This 2x2 desk base was the perfect size for our 6' exchange student. He needed plenty of room width and length wise. We went with stain in Kona. More time was spent staining then building.

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.

I followed your plans, with the exception of the computer desk. I mede it just a bit deeper, 1.5" or so. If I were to do this again, I think I'd go a little deeper still, maybe.  Anyway, great design.

We found your great plans and site online.  My son, Michael made 6 Garden Benches for his Eagle Scout Service Project and donated them to the local Master Gardener’s Association.

They turned out beautiful!

Thank you for sharing your plans. We’re looking forward to building more of your projects!

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

This was the first West Elm Knock off I attempted.  This was the first coffee table my sister requested.  This was also my first experience welding.  All in all it turned out pretty amazing.  She wanted one with a lifting table.  I bought the lift off of Amazon for around $60.  The wood is all Poplar and she used a mixture of stains to get the look she wanted.  I also added a hinge to the back other half of the table top so you can lift it to add more stuff inside the table.  I do not have any plans for this project as well i mostly just looked at the website and used the dimensions they had posted.

Great easy project to get the bigger chicks out of the garage to integrate with the older hens. Made some modifications because we have a lot of critters trying to kill the chickens/chicks.

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.

Flip down tray added for computer keyboard.

Porch sectional all done. Just need the fire pit.
