Overall I am very pleased with this project and I deviated from the plan with the drawer fronts and the slides as well.
Bult this for my wife from Ana White plans
Inspired by a photo online and Ana's cheap and easy console table, I decided to make an entry table out of salvaged materials. I found a shutter at a thrift store for $5 to make the top, rescued some legs from an old kitchen table left on the side of the road, and some leftover barnwood from my rustic cooler project. I used the Kreg jig to put it all together, and now have a simple, rustic table that's the perfect size for my entryway!

Lady you crack me up! Next time let's try to not get ripped off by the crabby thrift store woman and find even cheaper things to repurpose!!
I made these shelves to connect to a vintage sideboard that with a new granite top will become our kitchen island. Since the sideboard was dark and highly carved I wanted something chunky, sturdy and with a bit of style. Use links in the original post for all the building details.
This project was for a wedding gift... My wife gave the young couuple some ideas to choose from and after seeing these plans on Ana White they loved it. Thank you Ana for the great plans!!!

Great little cabinet with drawer and tilt out garbage.

I knew I had to make this the first time I saw the plans! It was super easy to make, I will definitely be making more of these. :)
I used duck cloth for the sling and embroidered a nautical design on the front.
Well this was our first project and we made a few mistakes but we are thrilled with how they came out!
I built this bed for my daughter and we decided to build a farmhouse bed but it didn’t stop there.. We added a barn door feel complete with handles and then we bought some vintage wall sconces and turned them into lights for the headboard.

I drew up the plan and built it with my sister. The drawers are fake, all of them are swing doors. Even though it's not perfect, I think it turned out great given that we built it in my sister's small city apartment.

Thank you!! I used 1X3's for the beadboard, so the whole thing is very heavy! :)

Thank you! And sorry, I doodled the plan on a piece of paper and didn't get to do it properly in google sketch :p I aso wanted to do the drawers, but the last time I made drawers it was a lot of work, and between the budget and lack of space/tools, a faux drawer face was an easier option. I would love to build this again with proper tools, and when I do, I will make sure to upload the plan! Thanks again!
At dinner a couple of nights ago with a good friend and his wife she commented that she really needed a stool of some sort for her older kid to stand on at the bathroom sink. Well that need became the next quest for me. I really savor trying to fill a need quickly and successfully. It took a few hours from the scrap pile to put the stool together and it appears from the picture that it was a success.
I deviated from the plan just a little by adding stiffeners on the four legs just because I did not like the direction of the wood grain and felt they might break off with enough lateral force.
If I build another stool of this type I think I would hinge the top step to give access to a small storage compartment. Should be easy to do and could add some versatility to the stool's function.
My wife has been wanting this project for months. Had to shorten the size to fit our wall. Thank you Ana for such easy to follow guidelines.
Built the project from the original plans. Modified by creating a shadow box style countertop. Also decided to make the shelves movable rather than just being static. Purchased the mini barn door hardware kit from Amazon.
Perfect vanities! When I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for, I searched online for vanity plans and thankfully your site and these vanities popped up. I love all the storage with these, so much better than ANYTHING pre built we looked at online. We had seen vanities that I was going to settle for but they were around $3,000, and I didn’t love them, so my husband said he could build something and this was the result using your plans. I am so thankful and the whole project was a fraction of the cost! I stained them with a vinegar and steel wool stain with poly over it. I couldn’t be more grateful for you and your generosity of plan sharing. Thank you!

These are very pretty. Any chance he recalls what type of wood used?
Good plans and easy to follow directions.
I LOVE my new patio table and benches. They came out great, and I hope they hold up for several years with the waterproofing stain I used.
I built this Farmhouse Queen Bed & Kentwood Night Stand for my Granddaughter. She loves it !
Hi friends!
Jen Woodhouse here, sharing this adorable summer project with you! I'm in the mood for all things outdoor, so I thought I'd share this build I created last year. This Kids Outdoor Double Lounge Chair made my kiddos so happy. They spend a ton of time at the pool and this Lounge Chair offers them a little bit of shade, and cup holders too for their drinks!
Be sure to tag me @jenwoodhouse if you share photos of your build on social media.
You can get all the details and the plans for this build on JenWoodhouse.com!
