I made this all by myself, using a borrowed R3 kreg jig. It took me about four days, working several hours a day, in between babysitting sessions when the grandparents had my kids. I'm proud of how it turned out. I planned to put a back and solid sides on it because I need it to function as a bookshelf for the kids' books, but I couldn't figure out how to attach my panels and in the end I liked the airyness of the X sides. 

This is a great beginners project. I wanted something that would match my living room and still be functional for my daughter to get her toys out . We have a full tutorial at our blog.... www.Ahouse-2-Home.com Also , if you have any questions please feel free to leave us a comment! Thanks!

sand box with seats

This is a queen size mantel bed with storage as cubbies only (also Ana White).  The paint is Eider White from SW (white with grey undertones, no yellow) and water-based poly since I really didn't want any yellow in in.  

First project decided to do two of them one for a boy and one for a girl. I built and my wife painted. she already has plans for the next project.

Coffee table stained in Jacobean, and finished with Minwax satin Poly.

Bar height table witb 4 chairs and 2 benches. My mom wanted a new table big eight to sit 6 to 8 people, I think it can fit 10 though!

I made this for the April Cent-Sational Salvage Challenge where you had to incorporate a kitchen utensil that you purchased at Habitat ReStore into your project and spend no more than $15!  I used a kitchen sink- it's the only kitchen utensil my ReStore had!  I used 2" x 4" for the entire project and left the sink unattached so that it can double as a kids water table later.  For the finish, I used a light blue latex paint, gave it a sanding to expose the wood, then wiped with Dark Walnut stain.  This gave it the old barn wood look.  This little stand allows us to pot our plants somewhere other than the dining room table, push the dirt into the sink and down the hole into a bucket.  No mess!  Plus, it's pretty cute and I made it for a total of $5!  $5 for the sink at Habitat ReStore and the 2" x 4"s I saved from a construction site dumpster.  Win, win.

Really cute and simple project. I left one stained for the rustic bathroom and painted two white for the beach themed living room.

I built this cabinet for my mother-in-laws entryway, it is her mothers Day present. originally I wanted to build it with the copper handles like in your post but I decided it was more my style like that than hers. also she only needed about 4 feet wide so I kind of change the plan to be the size I needed. The top is cedar I planed from rough wood. also made a mirror from Ana plans to hang above it.

I followed the plans to the dining table with the suggested 1/4" spacing and extra slat so that this table will match the bench I will be making next.  I used the kreg jig for everything so that there are no visible screws.  This table is relatively simple to assemble and seems sturdy yet not too heavy.
