I combined the workbench console and tryde console plans to make this perfect for our upstairs hall.
I combined the workbench console and tryde console plans to make this perfect for our upstairs hall.
This was made from scrap wood, a cheap $5.00 mirror and some hooks. This hangs near my front door and I hang scarves and bags on it. Always good to have a mirror to double check yourself before you leave the house. It was based on Ana White's Craftsman Frame.
Capped railing and head/foot board for a different look. Did not like the look of the carriage bolts so sunk those in and used buttons to cover. Modified slope and added hooks to ladder so we could remove to vacuum etc. Would of added one more step if I were to do it again. My guys are little so added railings to back side top and bottom and extended railings.
It was a straight forward project and the plans were excellent and easy to follow. We did purchase the Kreg Jig and that takes a little practice to get it right but it does make an extremely strong joint. We applied three coats of paint and one coat of stain on the top. This is for our German Shepherd and he loves it. It took us three or four days just because we worked on it a little bit each evening.
Had to trim a little off the barn door track so they would fit, but overall, great project!

I haven't got the doors on my console yet as I can't find the right hardware for the right price!
Looks great, love the shortened version!
Thank you for helping our family stay organized and keeping our entryway clean.

This is so beautiful! I bet the reclaimed wood is even more beautiful in person!
Did you adjust the size?
Thanks so much for bragging!

I actually made this without the plans. I saw the picture on pinterest that wasnt linked to your site and just made my own plans for it. If I recall, I made it 5ft in length. BTW, big fan of yours! Your plans are so detailed and your pieces give me so much inspiration as a fellow furniture builder. If you have time I'd love for you to check out my facebook page, jennamaedesigns, and tell me what you think. I'm new to the building bizz but I love it! Thanks again for commenting
I used cedar, stainless steel rails and finished with marine spar varnish. Gave to my son for Christmas to hold his smoker/barbeque! Thanks for the super project idea!
The directions on this aren't very clear and there's a few that I think are off all together. It came together fine with some adjustments and the kid like it so alls well that ends well, I guess.
The end result of this project was incredible. The table is 3ft x 6ft x 31inches - Built with Tennessee tobacco farm wood. I used KREG for all the joining, even the legs. Finished it with the one and only Annie Sloan Paint/Wax combination.
This was an easy build and I'm so happy with the finish. I used Hilary's oxidizing vinegar solution first. I didn't feel it was "grey" enough so I put on a coat of Minwax Weathered Grey. Let dry. Added a coat of Minwac Special Walnut and finished with Pastewax. Love, love, love! They are very sturdy!
My wife wanted an island so bad and didn't like any of the plans but this one. This was my first big project but it worked out well. In the front middle section, I went with a two trash can sliding cabinet. Took me around 36 hours to complete. I also found plans for tall bar stools that I used and made the chairs with the island. We found a stone place that had scrap granite that we bought cut to size. My wife loves it. Great Christmas present!!

All I see is a PDF with the dimensions but not the step by step plans. Can you please share the actual plans? I am hoping to build two of these to go on either side of our fireplace.
Cheers,
This is the perfect chair height for my 5 year old son. Was easy to build for a novice, and after a lot of sanding, I stained + varnished and it turned out quite nice, to match with the desk I made which we can see in the picture background. It does take 3 of the 2x2x8 instead of 2, but at $2.5 each... Total cost of approx. $7 since I made the seat and back rest out of the scrap I had. I'm thinking of making swivel stools for my kitchen out of the regular height plan. I also cut the seat a little larger to have about 1/4" overhang all around except at the back.
I love this, so did our son.
Had oak from my family farm that made up the top and trimwork. Purchased oak board for the legs. Sides and middle/bottom shelf from maple plywood. Decided against the flip down doors. Wasn't happy with he fit of the main doors due to a little off-kilter craftsmanship on my part, so will probably leave it open and add crates / some shelves the same height as the top row giving like 6", 6", and 11" or so.
Easy to follow plans and make adjustments with materials I already had lying around. Love them! Thanks for the plans Ana!

Great, job. Absolutely love the finish choice and greenery! Thanks for sharing:)
Made for granddaughter who loved the McKenna bed at American Girl. She loved the ability to customize because she has the Kanani doll. Will paint light blue (Kanani's favorite color) and have Hawaiian print bedding.
