Made this little chalkboard shelf/key holder for my niece. She is building a new house and I thought it would look nice in her kitchen or entry way. It was inspired by Ana's "easiest chalkboard shelf from scraps," but I routed the edges of the 1x12 and add different hooks for keys.

I needed a closet organizer for my daughter's room that could grow and change with her age. Right now it needed to have lots of shelves at her height to hold the massive amount of stuff an 8 year old can accumulate.

Once she transitions out of the toys, I plan on moving the shelves all to one side or the other for shoes, and adding another rod. Another possibility is shoes in the door organizer and 4 sections of hanging clothes...regardless, the end result has options that will grow with her!

I was able to keep the cost of this down because I used all scrap plywood to make the drawers. I did splurge in S4S pine lumber rather than trying to make rougher cuts nice.

On the left door is Ana's Behind Closet Door Storage plan as well :)

My husband and I built this together. Once we figured out how to use a Kreg Jig it was sooo easy!! I stained the top in English Chestnut and then chalk painted the based.

coffee Table 

I was looking for a shed to keep pool towels and other deck and pool items. This shed hit every feature I was looking
for. My husband loved the plans. He's always saying he can build anything with a measured drawing and a
cut list. The only thing we changed was the roofing material. we were given some metal roofing by a friend.

I built this 3 times, the first time, I wanted to beef it up, so I took it apart and decided that I was going to use a frame to make it more sturdy. This was for my 6'4 football playing husband, wanted a place for his sweats, jerseys, etc, so the 2nd one is the white beadboard one in the pic....Then, when I finally did move it into the house, boy I missed it in the garage. I had been using the baskets for my paint brushes, tack clothes, tarps, etc.....So, I built another one, just for me and my sundries. That's the one you see in the pic that is just the frame with baskets. My 180 6 ft tall son actually was caught sitting on top of it, and I'm proud to say, it held, no problem. I love Ana's plans, you can follow to the tee, always a good idea, or add in your own flavor. It's like adding your own spice to the soup. This is one of my favorite pieces to build, used my kreg, and the one that gets the most compliments and requests. For the top, I didn't have a 1x16 on hand, so I kregged together 2 1x8's. Absolutely beautiful.

I built this table from the all the great info on this site. I used Purebond Plywood in Oak for the top and pine for the base. I created an opening for quick access to items I use frequently. I also used cup hooks attached underneath the tabletop for my scissors. Painted in Ultra white from Valspar with several coats of Polyacrylic. I used my Kreg Jig to build the whole thing.

Completed the corner bookshelf (we opted to not use cupboard doors on the bottom) in two afternoons. 

So I wanted a coffee table for my new apartment and couldn't find one I liked so I decided to build one. I wanted a zen theme for my new place so I took this plan and put a twist on it. I built it basically to plan and then carved out some Asian symbols and filled them with Woods metal. I sanded down the inlays, stained the table, distressed it, carefully cleaned up the symbols and then added a couple coats of poly. Came out pretty cool!

Turned Out Very Nice. Modified The Drain.

This was a really easy build and has brought much needed order to my little one's stuffed animal collection.

Just delivered these Adirondack chairs to my son and his GF as a housewarming gift for their first home. They selected the colors and they turned out perfect! I used a countersink for the front screws and filled with plugs so it looked very polished!

This is a play kitchen I made for my 2 year old. This was the first big wood project I have done. The instructions were easy to follow if you stay organized.

I used the Husky Dining room table plans to build this table. I also modified the plans to make a bench as well. This was a very east build and turned out gorgrous!! Thanks Ana!!
