We used these instructions for this project. This is for our king size bed. We used premium pine wood from Lowe's and Home Depot. The boards weren't 100% perfect, so on the back side we had to attached a piece of wood vertically and centered to straighten them out. For the stain we used Minwax Honey 272 and applied a coat of polyurethane (clear satin).
Decided to add extra support between top rail and seat. I envisioned some sitting on the rail while partying so I thought it could use a little strengthening. This is a good build for a beginner.
Porch sectional all done. Just need the fire pit.
I used the project plan for dress up storage to make a place to put my girls dance things! I have five girls and they are all in dance. We had all the dance leotards, ballet shoes, tap shoes, tights, etc... stuffed in one box! Thanks Anna for sharing this plan! Its so useful, and a great addition to their room. Not to mention sooo cute!
Made this Pallet from scratch with standard 2x4's and 1x4 pine boards. Stained the 2x4's a medium dark and used white chalk paint on the 1x4's. Project came out very nice and the wifey loved it. Happy Wife, Happy life.
From selecting wood and staining, it took about a weekend to build and an additional weekend for finishing. It's stained with Minwax classic grey and protected with three coats of poly. Recommend only using 0000 steel wool between poly coats, as sandpaper took off the stain. Also modified ladder and safety rails. For smaller space, it works great! Build cost came in as expected. I used a Kreg Jig and flush screw plugs. Great project! Best I was able to find after an exhaustive online search. Keep up the good work!
Golf Locker. We love it!
After buying materials for a not so baby friendly antique factory cart coffee table, which I unhappily had to veto, my husband was able to quickly assemble this table and it sat unfinished for a few months. He painted it a black semi-gloss inside and out.
It fits the boppy, lots of blankets and 4 fabric cubes to hold toys, rings, burp cloths... perfect to hide at least some of the baby stuff that has taken over our home.
And now I NEED the apothecary trundle coffee table for the den!
Customized version of the clubhouse bed that is so popular! We went the extra mile on the finishing touches to ensure an awesome bed for our little guy! We made the bed taller for more space underneath and polished up the finished product to create a higher end look. Care was taken to precisely sand all areas of the bed for a smooth finish and polished look. All pocket-holes are filled with plugs and sanded smooth on the inside of the bed for an overall finished product. No shortcuts taken! We went the extra mile and painted the carriage bolts so they would blend in with the whitewash finish and also recessed the nut on the back of the legs for safety and added a cap so they are not visible. Top of the bed, above the door, is filled in and a custom ladder finishes off the look. We went with smaller lumber to build the ladder and it is perfect!! We are over the moon with this project and will be building more items as fast as we can. Also, the sign, under-bed shelves, and industrial shelves were built by my husband. He did an epic job creating this room!! We used better grade wood and spent a lot of time sanding to ensure a great bed in the end. We also went with a Benjamin Moore stain that was a little more expensive and took the time to finish the slats under the bed.

I love this bed! I was looking at the BM site and was wondering what exact stain did you use? there are 5 different opacities & I want to make sure I get the right one. Thanks!!

Did you ever figure out what stain was used on this particular bed? I love it.
Took a few tries to get those side rails right just eyeballing the angles but finished product looked great!
Switched 1x10 for 1x4
I started looking for a farmhouse table months ago at antique stores and on Craig's list but never could find exactly what I was looking for at a reasonable price. A friend had pinned an Ana White plan on pinterest. I sent my boyfriend a link to the plans for the fancy farmhouse table and he decided to build it for my birthday!!! It took him a few afternoons and turned out exactly how I wanted it. It was fun to build and not too hard. We shorten the length to 6.5feet to fit in the dining room. I used Minwax dark walnut 2716 as the finish. I topped it with two coats of poly. It fits perfect and looks amazing!
Super simple plans that were easy to follow for first time builders. We really love how it turned out and are working on an end table of the same style now.
I ended up going with the suggested 4 inch extension for more leg room. The outer boards measured out around 41 11/16". Two more 2x6x8's were used to do this along with a 2x4x10.
I Got my inspiration from ana's website here. I have a 200+ year old house and I just redid the dining room so I figured now would be the time to make a table for it. I did not use standard pine lumber, this was done all in Vermont walnut that was cut about 4 miles from my house and milled on site. I like to keep a stock pile of local lumber (mostly red oak and walnut when it pops up). My only advice if you are working with rough cut lumber is to invest in a good planer and joiner (I know easier said than done). If anyone would like the exact plans I used I would be happy to send them to you.
I built five of these bookshelves for my living room. I wanted them to fill the one wall, so I just divided the length of the wall by five to determine how wide to make each shelf. Also, because I was building several to be pushed together, I didn't want the bulk of 2 by SPF, so I used laminated pine shelving. Two eight foot boards were needed for each shelf, and that left very little waste. I love how they turned out. I blogged more about them (including dimensions) here http://skonkers.blogspot.ca/2014/07/home-is-where-shelves-are.html
Built from scrap lumber during my deployment with the US Navy to Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Africa, and brought home to Texas on my return Sept 2016.
I made this pantry workstation by modifying the six laundry basket plans. Added 2x4 stretchers between the front and back frames, top and bottom. Made cleats from 1x3 for a less bulky look. And added 1/2 inch AC plywood shelves. Sand and stain later.
