These 4 little chairs did not take very long to put together. But they did take me a while to sand, prime and paint. I hate that part of building-haha-so it always seems like it takes forever to get through with that and on to the fun part. They are very easy to make and inexpensive. My grandkids and others who have driven by and seen them out front have loved them!!

You made this project look so simple that I just had to try it. However, to suit my needs I had to make a few alterations to the plans. I had a set of bi-fold doors that were in need of replacement and I thought inset bookshelf doors would be the perfect way to replace them. This project was easy enough for me to do it myself and I am really new to the DIY game but I did have some help. I really love the way they turned out.

Enjoyed building this. It was taken from ana's plans, and my little girl loves it. She wanted one side of the stable enclosed so she could keep her stuff in it and she wanted it to light up at night for a night light. The lights are 12 red and blue leds running from a 12v power 1.2 amp power supply.

My husband Mike built Ana’s cedar shed over the course of a few weekends. He wanted it to be 3-ft deeper than the original, so he made those modifications, and it turned out great! We added some vintage/historical knobs and brackets to really make it pop! It is ready to be filled with lawn mowers and tools! 

I found the cutest little nesting tables on PB, but I didn't want to spend $400. Instead, I adjusted the sizes a bit and built my own.

Just a simple, but solid and stable patio table to replace the IKEA version that was warping and disintegrating. So much happier with this version. Also used bolts and wing nuts for attaching the legs for easy disassembly and storage for the winter. Should get many years out of this table.

This took a little longer than a weekend and it helps to have some help because it is so big. I would cut the legs about an inch shorter if you have 9 foot ceilings, other wise it will scratch your ceiling when you tilt it up. I put the door on because I was worried about my 3 year old falling out. She loves it and it was fun to build.

It was taken from a plan that Ana had for a patio bench. I made it longer and high enough to match the seats on the couch 

This was my first project..took me a week but I loved creating this!! Got plans for more! Love your website

Used the plans for the 2x4 couch added an additional 2x4 across the back for a little more back support. Then made two chairs by modifying the couch plans to fit the cushion width 

Wanted a side table to go in dining room for drinks and spare dishes to go on when we have get togethers. It was a pretty simple that was fun and got it done in a weekend during naptimes and the spare moment here and there thanks to my husband having time off. I didn’t want a second shelf because that’s just a ladder for my toddlers! I decided to go with a truss look since it fit my furtinure a bit more and I like it having a bit of a decorative look in the back.

Having done a few doll beds I decided to tackle a toddler bed. I ended up donating this pair to an auction benefiting Montrose Street Reach and Little Footprints Children's Ministry. If you are interested check out http://www.littlefootprintscm.com

I combined the loft bed and the storage daybed to make this bunk bed. I also modified the plans slightly so that the posts extended to the ceiling and added stairs instead of a ladder.

Added rolling casters to the plan. Also decided to go with one big drawer instead of two small ones. The top is made from pine 1x2's that I glued togeter and then sanded dow. Do yourself a favor and go through the plans and sketch out your own plan and wood requirements ahead of time. There are a few mistakes in the plan when it comes to your buy list.

I made this easy and cheap Christmas tree wall shelf to add character to my guest bathroom.  I went through all my wood stash and found enough wood to build this project with! 

Make sure to pay attention to the long and short point directions in Ana's plans.  Since I was hanging this above my toilet, I didn't need the hooks so I just omitted the bottom piece all together.

I ended up using wood glue and a nail gun to put everything together so it went really quickly. 

I painted the whole tree with green chalk paint and distressed the edges with sandpaper.  Hung it up with L brackets in a stud.

Fun and easy project!  Thank you Ana!!

I saw this and fell in love! I've made three so far!
