Built off Sausha’s Washer/Dryer Pedestals Plans, project was easy and quick. We removed closet doors to the hall laundry (gross), installed new trim & installed a cabinet overhead. Came out pretty great.
Beginner here and I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I played with the angle of the back and finally perfected it on chair three and four. I put the last bottom slat a little closer to the front to create more of a back angle. I also added a third back support position of the bottom slats are essential for comfort so you’re not sitting on a slat. My cushions need to be a bit thicker because you can definitely feel it. Overall, I enjoyed this project. Longest part was making all the cuts, and then painting because I use the sprayer and had to clean it. Thanks Anna!
This is our very first building project from plans. We loved them. Our first night stand twisted because our 2x2s weren't as straight as we thought they were. With a few times of repositioning them, it turned out fine. The 2nd night stand went together much quicker and easier.
We are hooked! Thank you Ana for great plans!

These look wonderful! I love the look of the wood grain through the stain. Good job :)
Super fun and easy! This was my first kreg jig build! Not sure how I got by before I got one!
I made these boxes for my daughters for Christmas. I used maple, and I rabbeted the drawers and backs so that the plywood would sit flush. On the first box, I attempted to join with dowels, but as a novice, that didn't work well, and I converted to a few countersunk screws. On the second box, I used glue and nails as the plan suggested, which was much better. Installing the box hinges and lock was the most finicky part of the project.

comments from you truly make my day. I'm working on a big build (Brady Entry units x 2) custom size, mixed finishes. Thank goodness kids go back to school on Wed., Mommy needs some 'build time'. Enjoy the long weekend.
My husband surprised me by making this sectional after I found the plans on your site. THANK YOU! We love it! It's been the centre of many cocktails and conversations over the years!
Note: cost includes the cost of the outdoor cushions which were purchased at Lowes Canada and slightly modified.
My husband built this table, making slight alterations to the plan to make it smaller. He also picked out beautiful walnut planks from a local exotic wood shop. This made the top have slightly different dimensions, too. The top is finished with teak oil and wax. The bottom part of the table was painted a solid gray. We're thrilled with the results. It's so sturdy!
Made a little smaller than original plans and completely out of oak
Thank you Ana for you Fireplace design as it was exactly what I needed! We’ve lived in our house for 3 years now and I’ve wanted a fireplace ever since. Your plan was perfect and with a few modifications I made it come to life. My 9yr daughter as I was almost done building thought there should be a shelf for books and movies below the fire place. It gave me the idea of adding storage on the sides. I had already had the idea of the mantle storage and just used a floating shelf idea and made that. This was a lot of fun!! It took me a little over a week to build. But can’t wait to build something else for our house… like the mudroom!

Oh my goodness, you knocked this one out of the park! Amazing job, thank you for sharing.

That looks awesome! My husband and I are planning on doing this as well. I do have a question, as I see you have carpet just like us. Did you cut out the carpet where you built out, and if so how did you go about that, or did you just build on top of it?
Two weatherly sofas butted up against each other make a great sectional! The "Lego" table has a checkerboard on the bottom of one of the removeable table top sides, and the other acts as a water table for the little one to splash around in. Thanks so much for the plans! These were all fun projects!
Super easy candle ledges!
This was one of my favorite projects!!! I never could of completed this project without the guidance of Ana's blog and Hilary From the Friendly House. Thank you!!!
My son saw this project and wanted a rocketship. I was also tired of piling up his books on the floor. The only wood I bought for it was 1/4" ply for the back as I used leftover 3/4" plywood for the bookcase itself. Fairly easy with a Kreg, it just took a little while to finish all of the painting.
What a merry addition to my Christmas decor. I was drawn to this project because I wanted to use my new miter saw and to practice cutting angles & piecing together with great precision. It’s a bonus that I needed a place to hang stockings.
The directions were clear and helpful. It is forgiving if you don’t get boards aligned perfectly. That provided a great confidence boost for this newbie.
The stain is Minwax Austin Field solid. It was my first stain experience and it took me a while to get a smooth and consistent finish. But I love the tone.
I built this sofa in one day, and painted it the next! I procrastinated all summer, and now that it's almost fall I decided to finally build it so that I could relax on the sofa in the back yard for the last month of nice weather here in Winnipeg. The plans were fantastic, the only problem I had was finding 24x24 cushions. The closest I could find were 22x22, so I adjusted the plans accordingly. It turned out well but I prefer it without the back cushions because that way there's more lounging room. Thank you so much for the plans!

Good idea to look for the cushions first and adjust accordingly. I love the color you chose to... works very well with the white sofa and warm wood deck. I agree that it is more inviting without the back pillows... That way you can see the wonderful detail of the back
I modified one of the cubby book shelves for storing my sewing machine, altered the plan to have only 1 drawer since it will be against the wall and added dowel pegs to the drawer to hold thread spools.
This was very challenging but well worth it. I am excited because I was able to make this. Thank you!

My first project was really very tough. When we work on raw furniture or old home furniture, then we should take care about the damage of our important or valuable furniture items. It is really very exciting and good feeling time for all beginners.
This project didn't require much when it came to woodworking other than the wood mounted base. I have seen a few variations of pulley pendant lights on the web and thought it would be neat to build my own. I came across an old pulley and hanger at an antique mall. I bought the light hardware from a local big box store. I put some scrap lumber to use and applied some paint and stain I had around. I was hoping to make this my first custom made item to sell but once the Christmas season is over and the decorations are packed away, the Mrs. says she wants this hung in the house.Thanks for looking.
