This was a fun one to build. I love how it turned out. Most importantly this wife loved it! I used the miter saw to create a curved love on the feet, this was really easy to do just took a couple practice boards then I had it. I dont remember how much I had in the money I had in the wood but I was a lot cheaper to build rather than buy. 

Table top stain is Espresso 

BAse paint is some cream color I dont remember sorry.

Took 2 weekends to build 2 of them, they have a gently distressed finish.

With inspiration from Ana’s Little Crates, I prepared crates frames and slats separately so employees of a retiree may write on the slats. Once the writing was complete the slats were attached to the frames and presented as a personalized gift with examples of hanging or tabletop use.

Followed the plan but I hand carved the decal.

This is our fireplace / tv bump out. Used your plans modified a little. Decided on a navy blue shiplap. The shelves are made from oak barn wood we got from a torn down dairy barn.

I loved the idea of the charging cubbies and the storage area in this plan!
I needed something a little shorter, for my three younger boys to be able to reach the hooks, though. I modified the plans a bit for this. I also opted out on the drawers and just left the cubbies open. With my boys, the more simple something is to use, the more likely they will make the effort ;)

I added a 2x4 to the back for hooks. I wanted the wall color to show through the back, so I didn't use a back piece.

My shelves are about 2.5 ft long. I wanted a display area in my dining room to show off some plates I had made for my boyfriend a while back.

I combined Ana's plans for Daybed with Storage Trundle Drawers and a Storage Headboard with a Small Hutch.

This is my 3rd daybed with storage drawers. It's such an easy build and gives so much extra space. The entire project took about 40 hours. I used Minwax stain in Classic Grey and three coats of polyurethane. For the drawers, I used 1.5" casters. I drilled a hole through the back of the headboard to feed cords through. Then I put the whole thing in the back of my truck and drove 500 miles for the final assembly. :)  In the provided photos, some of the pieces are flush because I hadn't permanently attached them. 

I have a pet ferret that has little room to run around. So I seen this rabbit/ferret cage at the pet store. It was about $150 or so. So I took a pic of it on my phone, and found the Google Sketch app, and watched some videos, and now I have plans for the cage. Some 2x2's, 1x8's, plywood, chicken wire, and some locks and hinges for the ramp an lid.... Still tweaking it, but hopefully it will work out.

I loved the style of this desk but needed it to be quite a bit smaller. I reduced the measurements down from 48 inches wide to 28 inches wide. This required only 4 foot long 1x12. I added just one 15 inch wide faux drawer on the front. This was incredibly easy to build. It took me longer to paint and stain the timber than it did to build it.

This was the first time I had ever worked with some of the tools and really done any serious building.  We built a new deck onto the back of my home and I could not stand the cost of the furniture to make it complete.  Thank you Anna I have become fearless with tools!!  Our deck has become even more special!!

I made 2 of your Potting Tables to use as my display tables for my wood working kiosk.

Used the plans as provided by Ana for the Rustic X Coffee Table.

I built this table using barn wood I reclaimed from a farmstead in Saline, MI which I dismantled in 2010. Interestingly enough, during the dismantling, the farmstead served as a movie set for the filming of Cedar Rapids, starring Ann Hesche, John C. Riley and Sigourney Weaver.

Thanks for looking,

I built this for my daughter's 5th birthday. She didn't actually have a bed in her room and this seemed like a great opportunity to dust off some of my skills.

It was a big project, but worth it all when I saw how much she LOVES it.

I love this X Console! Thanks for the plans!
