We found two old windows with the original hardware. They were covered with chipping lead based paint so we pulled off what paint we could (safely). We then painted them over with oil based Kilz before the final coat. We then built the cupboard from there. We decided to go with a more rustic look since the windows were still a little rough. We applied a crackle finish in a few spots using white glue to add to the rustic texture.
tryde console table with a twist... Added shelf above and below. Created a smaller version for a matching side table. Double layered top with staggered wood pattern. I receive compliments every time someone new comes over. Solid piece of furniture. Looks very expensive.

Fabulous! I love the dark stain! Thanks for sharing!
My first woodworking project with the new miter saw my wife got me for Christmas. She was very happy with the results, and we're now receiving order requests :)
Working off of Ana's easy and classicly styled nesting table plan, we decided to go with a stain finish to match the furniture in our formal living room. Building the tables was quite easy and fast. The time was in the waiting for the stain to dry and be ready to apply multiple coats as needed. Staining obviously takes much longer to complete, but well worth the wait.
We used the basic design of the salsa console and moved the drawers and doors to a design that we preferred for hiding our junk.
Built this using the Anna White's "MIMI'S FAUX MANTLE" but instead of using crown molding I elected to use STONE TILES in a neutral tone and finished the surround and mantle in white giving the piece a nice soft appeal. The building plans were easy to follow and took about 2 days to complete the whole process not to mention how reasonable the cost was. I already had the tiles and adhesive from a left over bathroom mirror frame.
Coffee table completed and three side tables ready for staining.
Thank you for the plans.
Tv Stand for My mother for Christmas. Couldn't find untreated 4x4s so i used cedar. Found now after the project was done that Menards has untreated 4x4's, even Red Oak.
My husband and I worked together on this project. He built it and painted/stained. Plans were used fro link below.

This was the first attempt at building furniture for my husband and me...and we're thrilled with how it turned out! We had a table from Crate and Barrel that was not holding up at all (I convinced them to take it back after 1 year) and wanted to try to build our own. We used Ana's Farmhouse Dining Table original plan, and only shortened it to 64", but followed the rest exactly. We looked into getting oak or a more expensive wood for the table, but save your money and get the pine! After the polyurethane, it's harder and more durable than our C&B table!

Nice job and I love the finish! I will keep that stain in mind for one of my next projects...
This is my first solo and most ambitious project. I only had some help with getting the doors hung. I combined my long-time love of machine embroidery and my new found love of woodworking to create the doors on this project and really make it something special. I'm going to be using this piece in place of a chest of drawers in my bedroom.

What an awesome project! Love the finish, and the design on the doors. How did you do the door panels? They're lovely!

Wow that is really awesome! I love the stain and the way that this turned out!
Dear Ana,
I built this Deck chair as per the plans on your site. Super easy for amatuer beginners like me. Enjoyed making it. Thank a lot!
I built this changing table for my friend's new baby. I had to stain all the individual pieces and assemble it at her house. It wouldn't fit assembled in my vehicle! :)
I also built her a stepstool as well.
I wanted to revamp my mudroom and need some storage so I built a bench and designed it as a built-in.

I took the plan from this and rather than have a two tone with paint, I stained the entire thing and used my wood burner to burn a pentacle in the top. My wife loves her altar.
This was a blast. Thanks so much for the plans Ana, as well as for all the comments after the plans, which help a lot too. I did a combo, and it worked wonderfully! I made a little more work for myself than I needed to, but for a first project, I feel proud of myself...and can't wait for my next project.
This was a quick weekend project. I built two: one for myself and another for a sister. I really like this frame. It's a neat way of displaying photos.
You can check out my blog for more build details.

thanks so much for the plans! :)
I had a wonderful time making this toy box and learning new techniques. Having access to a table saw really made this project turn out awesome. I was able to get 1/4" shims made that allowed for easy, precise offsets. The family just loved it!

Wow I love it!
Wow, I love it! I wish you still had the plans because I'm looking to build something almost exactly like this, just a tad longer!
