This bench is HUGE! I think I should have scaled it back. It was fun to make, though. Thanks for the plans :)
This was easily the most elegant and functional tower design I found on the internet and it does not disappoint! I made a few modifications that included a lower, squarer (?) profile to fit under our counters, a hand painted mural, some stain, and of course some Yeti-your-feet-go-here-footprints on the platform. As soon as the paint was dry, I set my son up at the counter in it. His little face lit up with delight at all the new details and things to see. He instantly started looking at everything with swift little back glances at me that said “Really Mommy?! I can stand here?!” Totally worth it!

this is so cute! I love the hand painted drawing. This project has been on my to build list for a while. I think my little guy is big enough to make good use of it now.
After being "so done" with the original closet that came with the home, I decided to rip out all the wire shelving and make a custom closet out of 1x4s and 2x4s. I pre-stained all the boards and cut to custom lengths. I kept the integrity height for the shelves of 42" and 84". Instead of using galvanized pipe, I used Halefe Premium Oval closet rods. In the end, I have a very stout closet and a much better use of space.
For the small shelf beside the window, I used 1x4s cut to custom length. Under the hanging shelves, there will be a shoe rack.

We wanted a buffet for our kitchen- but couldn't find just the right plan. So I modified the "Dresser with open bottom shelf" slightly to remove one shelf and enclose the bottom with Doors. We matched the colors from our dining room set (black bases with stained seats and table top). The glass was purchased from a local company and is called 'cord glass' to match some other custom cabinets in our home. I do have the sketchup plans- been trying to clean them up so I can get a plan posted... but can email them in their current state if anyone wants them.

Thanks- I didn't say but this actually was my first BIG project from Ana-white. It did take me longer than I anticipated (two long weekends) the painting was probably the most time consuming as I was trying to get it 'spray on' like- but didn't quite achieve that look.
Re. the pulls; I think there was a total of 5 trips to Menards and HD with different options being considered- we finally went with these as due to the large drawer size all others seemed to be under-per-portioned. So thank you - glad to see it shows well.
Appreciate your comments!!

This piece if a beauty. Your hard work does show very well.
I would like it, if you don't mind, if you could send me the plans. That would be awesome. I will email you if I need to to get something explained.
Just moved into a new home and this piece would go great in the dining room.
Thanks,

The top is actually a 3/4" oak veneered plywood with 1x3 (sides) and 1x4 (ends) framing. I used a friend's biscuit joiner and glued the sides on with biscuits. I thought about using pocket holes but wasn't sure how to make the boards stay straight... and had used a biscuit joiner before - so opted for that. Let me know - I can send the google sketchup plans if you want them.

Mexiian1 - Just need your email address to send you the sketchup plans. I've sent them out to a few already.

Have a look back at the post below as I've posted the address to the buffet on the sketchup 3d warehouse- pasting here for your convenience as well.

I saw on another post that the sketchup model could be shared to the warehouse- which of course I knew but totally forgot. So- I've uploaded the model for this buffet to the warehouse and it should be able to be accessed from this link:
http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=8acc2d1db12502a9cc04…
If I had the patience to work up an actual plan I would - but hopefully the sketchup model will help - there should be dimensions and I have the cut list in the model as well. Still let me know if you have questions and I would LOVE to see anyone else's finished project!
Sun, 10/04/2015 - 19:11
Do you happen to still have the plans for this buffet? My email address is [email protected] if youre able to send them. I would love them. This buffet is really nice and the sketchup plans are not working for me.
Tue, 10/06/2015 - 18:37
Anyone who has received the plans in the past...that still has them, coukd you please e-mail them to me at [email protected]

If you're still sending out plans, I'd appreciate getting a set. Thanks! [email protected]

Not sure what happened to the 3d warehouse plans- trying a new link here, hopefully that will help some who are trying to get these.
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=8acc2d1db12502a9cc047c39…
Or if you just go to the 3d ware house and search on "brent buffet" you will get 1 hit :-).
This project took me about 2 weeks. Granted, it would have been quicker, but I could only work on it a few hours every couple days. I've never built a fence before, I think anyone could do it. Just take your time and that includes time to plan. I designed houses for a year about 10 years ago, so I actually drafted some plans to help me determine how much lumber I would need. This fence will welcome our new family member soon, my wife's 4 year old german shepherd. Also, this is a treated pine fence, instead of cedar. Thanks for the tips Anna.

LOOKS GREAT. WHERE DID YOU SOURCE YOUR MATERIALS? I'M LOOKING HIGH AND LOW FOR THE PICKETS AND THEY ARE NO WHERE TO BE FOUND!
.
Built from the design here. Espresso stained top with flat antique white base.
Loved this project. Not completely done. Still need to acrylic our name and poly the whole thing.
In addition to the farmhouse table, my husband also built me six chairs to match. He started with the modern angle chair, and added a cross support underneath. With the dark stain they work perfectly with the table.

What a fantastic Job!! The set looks great. Definately work to be proud of. Thanks for posting!
I needed a place to hang the children's school pictures. I wanted to showcase them and didn't have any ideas what wall would work. Once I finished my selves for the living room I knew it was the perfect place.
This site introduced the Kreg Jig which was a game changer as far as allowing me to give this a go. Thanks to the various posts for inspiration particularly Suzie_R. I added an off the shelf guard on the bed - photo to follow. I built the dimensions to fit a day mattress that I bought.
I modified the 2x4 outdoor sofa plans to create this "mini" version which is the perfect size for an outdoor loveseat cushion!
Gray and easy build
My husband and I created this using farmhouse table plans and we're very excited. It took us longer to get done than most because we all ended up sick. :o) Total cost was under $100 and it is awesome!! Thank you so much for the plans!!
Sun, 12/11/2011 - 09:29
We are currently making a bench and a version of the stackable chairs for our 8 foot table. WE are so excited. I have work to do but only want to help build now. :o)
Thank you for the fantastic tutorial to build this laundry pedestal. I was able to have the the pieces cut at my local Lowes store. After making the pedestal I would make a few adjustments to make it more sturdy. I would attach the four posts to the inside corners and cut the bottom platform corners to fit around the posts instead of attaching them to the platform with brackets. I made my posts a little taller too because my laundry baskets were taller. I love my new addition to my laundry room! The link to Saushas Laundry Pedestal that I followed is here, http://ana-white.com/printpdf/2011/01/sausha’s-washerdryer-pedestals.
Built this over 5 days, around my son's naps (including 2 days for sealant to cure). Actual time was probably around 8 hours total. Not too bad for my third project! I only built one shelf and am using it for storage in our master bathroom. I love the way it turned out. Thanks again, Ana, for a great project plan. :)
I have been looking at your blog and always been interested in making my own furniture. However, I was scared to try. Your diagrams and measurements were awesome. Thank you! Gave me the encouragement to try!
I built this coffee table for a friend. It is a square version of the Tryde coffee table with a shelf underneath. The dimensions of the tabletop are 42" x 42." It took a couple of weeks of working at night to complete, but she loved it.
Small Farmhouse table with custom made husky legs and side trim. I used my router to create the legs and trim.It was my first attempt at turned legs. I used minwax white wash pickle, then I went over with a mixture of minwax of dark walnut and golden oak.
Thu, 11/07/2013 - 12:23
Your table looks awesome! What an amazing job you did turning the legs, and the finish is fab! Beautifully done!
