Thank you very much for the Christmas tree plans, was a nice and fun project, I added a star, can be removed if people wants to use the tree year long.
Thank you again

My husband Jon recently built this playhouse with/for a friend of his from work. It took them two months to complete and it's awesome! Jon's friend is also a die hard Gators fan so they made sure to add blue and orange as much as they could. Thanks Ana for giving them the courage to take on such a feat!

Great Job! All this says is "GO BRONCOS!" I'm an Idaho girl and I love the BOise State colors, lol! "Playhouse" is an understatement. This is a jungle. This is a huge play structure! and it is awesome.

Haha! Thanks birdsandsoap! I think it's awesome that you saw something special in a totally different way. Glad you liked our color scheme and project! ;)
Two Pink Adirondack Chairs
Built from the
Farmhouse Table - Updated Pocket Hole Plans. I used pine for all the wood, painted the bottom with white
Valspar Storm Coat, and table top with Miniwax Red Mahogany stain.
It's not purfect but, it turned out great.
Lessons learned
I need is a planer to make the boards straight, Belt sanding took a long time.
I made this hall tree for my daughter for Christmas . I am a beginner with woodworking and this is the first piece of big furniture I have made.
My wife used you patio sectional and table plans to make herself a summer oasis. She built it specifically to fit a corner of our patio that we were never using. Now it is used almost daily for reading, visiting or just sitting outside watching the birds.

This the first project my husband attempted. I hope I can be more involved in the next project. I'm very proud of his first table! We plan on putting it on the screened in porch of our new house we are getting ready to build.

I have a question. When you stained the top, how did you ensure that your paint was not affected by the stain? I am working on m y first project. I have it all together, painted the bottom, but am stumped by how to stain the top with out ruining all my hard work. Any advice would help.

So sorry I just saw your comment! We used a scrap piece of cardboard to put up against the table when "edging" the stain or paint. We could get in the corner alone the bottom where the stain and paint meet without having to have super steady hand or be completely stressed. Hope this helps!
Took a day to build a bench to match my table! I am in love with this bench.
Take a little extra time on your angles to make sure you get them right or you will end up with a gap!
We have a huge sectional and loved this table, so we modified it a little to fit our needs. Took out the center shelf, made it 10 feet long, and added breadboard ends to the top. Came out perfect! Couldn't be happier.

Upgraded Luggage Rack or Suitcase Stand Benches
just added the seat cushions
In the middle of a much needed makeover on our back deck! We did not have skirting around the deck and decided that we would like to close it in for extra storage(ladders,compost bin...) and we came up with this little something as a bonus. We are always hosting backyard get togethers and seating is a challenge. Setting up and putting away chairs,ugh. This has been the perfect solution. This was completely an "as we went" plan but the biggest need to know is, heavy duty hinges! (As I said,the deck is getting a makeover so go easy on the appearance:)

Thank you ana ... and all of you "braggers" ... I have a huge list of projects now, but this is the first one from your ideas. I had an old piece of 3/4 plywood left over from something else so that became the top .. and other sizes were adjusted as needed. I realize now that i should have taken pictures along the way ... it was pretty ugly before finish :) The top is brown paper bagged ... the best instructions out there are at http://lovelycraftyhome.com/2011/11/09/the-ultimate-brown-paper-floorin… ... it is truly almost magic how beautiful such simple ingredients and technique become (and cheap) Thanks again!

wow, this is awesome :) Can you send the measurments? My email is [email protected]
Mon, 03/26/2012 - 10:20
my finished dimensions ended up being 13 (W) x 48 (L) x 18 (H) ... found Ana's dimensions were very adjustable though ... the only trick was the cross braces ... and those i ended up having to hold in place and draw the cut lines .. my geometry failed me :)
from what i hear the "paper bagging" is quite durable .. there are reports all over the web of people who have had it in place on their floors for years with only occasional touchups with poly ... definitely time consuming with needing so many poly coats .. but they go quickly. i'm putting it on my stairs next ... have tile below, will be wood above .. and i'm too cheap to pay for hard wood stair tread!!

You did a wonderful job!!!! Mine is holding up just fine, my son practically does cartwheels on it everyday, no problem! Now, I'm about to start on my floors this week, cant' wait to see how it turns out!
This is my first table. I used the Triple Pedestal Farmhouse Table plans, but modified it to fit our kitchen.
Tue, 01/14/2014 - 16:35
Great job on this table! I like how you placed the pedestals, you can push the chairs all the way in on the ends. Your finish looks beautiful!
This is the second bench made from these plans. For this bench, I altered the plans, decreasing the length from 55" to 36". I'm a little uneasy about using the jigsaw so I did not taper the legs. I love this bench it fits very nicely into our warehouse loft apartment.
Wife loves her desk. She works from home and loves the simple look
This was definitely a project, but totally doable for anyone.
We had a bunch of scrap wood so we decided to do a different style for the headboard, everything else is to the plans.
Absolutely in love with it! Thanks to Ana for the plans!
Different style headboard
My first attempt at a woodworking project. I LOVED IT!! But I'm not sure which I loved more...the building or the decorating. I can't wait to build more!

I love the print on your scrapbook paper. Timeless.
Mon, 09/24/2012 - 20:31
I'm curious about the scrapbook paper, do you know which paper she used? Thanks!
Mon, 09/24/2012 - 20:30
Hi! can you tell me about your decorating supplies? Did you use scrap book paper for the walls? I am really interested in the wall with letters and children playing! Also, what furniture did you use?
Thanks!!
My wife and I saw the wood cooler plans here and decided that would be a great project and great addition to our outdoor tiki patio area. The build wasn't that bad. I could not find the exact cooler as listed so I got a different one and the dimensions were different, but I accommodated for it. We went with a tropical rustic look and decorated like a live blue crab crate. Really came out amazing.We had slated to paint it yellow with blue trim, but yellow was too bright so then started painting lid blue over the yellow to see what it looked like and decided to sand it down and do something different. That's when the magic happened. When I started sanding, blue and yellow came out and look faded and rustic, and it looked amazing. So we went with that as our scheme. Sanded up areas to look distressed!!! We put the shelf and spout on the opposite side to fit our area better. All in all was a great project and love the results. Going to break it in for the superbowl in 2 weeks!!!! My wife was a great help doing the painting and my 11 yr old daughter pitched in on the wood work. Thanks girls!! Contact me with any questions. So what you think of it?????
Mon, 01/20/2014 - 21:29
looks great! I love the finish, it's really fun. Nice job.
Great plan, taught me a few things about glue and stain! Corrected by sanding again and re-staining the spots.
