Buit this for our master bedroom.
So the kids love to climb, mine probably more than most so we did a summer break project! So we looked around online and there's really nothing there for a home climbing wall to fit our needs, so we just like made it up.
I bought 9 planks of the heaviest plywood they had at walmart and ordered climbing grab handles from amazon in multi color but then we realized that it just looked a bit boring for this funnest thing ever!
So we went online to look for a good paint for plywood, but something that would also add some grip for the kids. So we found this bedliner called durabak was really highly recommended all ovr the internet for use on plywood, mainly by boats and stuff.
So we called durabakcompany.com and their customer service was literally the most patient and best I think I've ever dealt with, They had so much patience and gave me lots of ideas and said that Durabak gets used a lot on climbing walls! Yay!
They gave me the idea to go with dark blue and dark grey and draw out a random pattern and paint it all with 3 coats of Durabak and it just looks so awesome I bring everyone up to see it now. The kids totally love it and it just makes me so proud that I built that thing with my kids! They're super psyched about it too.
"Thank you Ana White for your plans I'm in love!"

This is so cute! What did you use for the burners?

Question what did you use for your handles? This is beautiful. I'm hoping to make once close to it for my son's 2nd Bday
I needed something to hide the exterior of my 7 yr old, hard used ice chests. I saw this and modified it to fit my ice chests. Love them!
I'm a newbie to wood work and am so glad I found this site! I made these in July and am working at getting better at it.
I fell in love with this design right away, and rushed out to buy the wood. The build itself was super quick... 4-6 hours start to finish. Oxidizing the wood took a lot of trial and error... I was hoping for a more grey look like the plans showed, but I ended up with a richer brown. Still love it!

Love this! I think the color is beautiful! Thanks much for sending in a brag post.
We have gone through several sets of deck furniture at our home in Monument, Colorado. We like wicker, but so do the squirrels! Inspired by an article in the Wall Street Journal where the author used his wood shop experience to make outdoor furniture and avoid "astronomical prices," I found this site. I thought, "Even I can build something out of 2x4s." I borrowed my neighbor's high-end chop saw and made two chairs, a love seat (by cutting the dimensions of the 79" sofa - three cushions - down to 55" - two cushions, and the coffee table, cut down from 55" to 47". Construction took less than two weeks from purchasing the wood to finishing. Everyone who has seen the finished set loves it.
I saw this plan and wished I knew some little girls who needed this bunkbed! Two weeks later, my neighbors little girls came over with two of their Christmas gifts - American Girl dolls! I went out the next day to buy the supplies and now have it finished to give to them after school this afternoon!

These are soo cute! However I have looked high and low for the 1x1 square trim, all I have found are the 1x1 4 footers for around $4 each! Is this what everyone is using? I dont have a table saw! and our lowes nor Home Depot would wanna rip wood so small!

Yes - unfortuanely that's what I had to do. That's why the final cost came to $20. I tried to come up with another stair tread idea but ended up just buying the 1 x 1's. If you don't mind the look of round and square rungs, you could consider using a round dowel. They're much cheaper than square and can be found at Walmart for less than $1.
I had so much fun building this project. It came together really easily, and added the perfect touch to our dining room to make it feel nice and homey. I have since added the cabinet doors to the bottom shelf... more pictures to come.
My version, with a top shelf added, and the legs made of a 2x6 with a trimmed 2x4 added to make the L shaped leg.
Really like this project and am anxious to do another :) if you have any for porch swings I want to make one of those too:) thank you for sharing!!!!

So beautiful on your porch! The chairs add such a nice wood element to the space. Love it!
This is my homemade backyard inspired by plans from Ana. Used Ana's previous post to build all pieces. Stained in Mission Oak and bought pillows from Lowe's. Succulents from a local nursery.

Your backyard looks amazing, well done! Thank you so much for sharing.
After our basement remodel I decided we needed some storage for our growing collection of of toys.
This project went together much more quickly than I expected. I am so happy with the results.
This was a quick and easy build. My friend needed a changing table and I had several scraps left from a toy box build. I will mention that using 2x2 firring strips is always my worst nightmare. They're rounded, never straight, and full of knots. They just don't give that professional feel. I had to use 1/2"x3" preferred pine on the ends in order for them to sit flush inside the 2x2's. Used the kreg pocket holes and assembly was easy. The changing pad frame on top attaches to the back with an L bracket so they can remove it and still use the table down the road. I hope they enjoy it for many years.
This project took me no time at all. If you pick up straight boards and purchase the legs, this shouldn't take more than a few hours to build.
We made the full size bed. We added 4 inches of height on the bed so there was room to slide a twin mattress underneath.
I used the 6' modification of the 8' model. I used 2x6s for the top, and most of the pieces were cheap lumber, like furring strips. The color and stain are a bit darker in person.
I built this coffee table for my wife for christmas, it came out really nice. I didnt make it as wide to accomodate our living room space. the plans were really easy to follow and i had a lot of fun building this project. One thing i would recommend for this table is to get a plane of some kind to get all the planks flush with each other. For the legs i used cedar 4x4s because pine 4x4s are not available anywhere around me, that didnt matter too too much because i stained the table dark anyways. We are very happy with this table and thank you ana for such great plans to follow. now hopefully ana in her busy life will find time to post a farmhouse tallboy dresser from pottery barn to match our farmhouse bedside tables
Added a peg board and a couple of extra shelves... Great design.
This was a lot of work and a bit of frustration but now that it's done it was well worth it!!
