Fire truck bed by Ben

I decided to take the Kentwood nightstand and add my own spring time twist to it. I got bored and built this out of spare wood in the garage and free paint from Ace. I think it turned out pretty well.

My girls love Monster High so we did black , Magenta to go with all their Monster High dolls and sets.

A little upgraded version. Made it a little taller so little sister could sleep below! 

Only one cut and easy-to-follow instructions make for a kid-sized reading nook that you can build today!

This is a simple project that comes together in an hour or less. You need recycled material for the panels and approximately $20 worth of supplies, assuming you own a drill, staple gun and wrench.

This was my first DIY furniture project and I am so thrilled with the outcome that I am already trying to figure out what to make next! I made all my measurements and then had all of the wood cut to size at Home Depot. The assembly went much more quickly and smoothly than I had anticipated.This is a very sturdy piece of furniture. My 6 & 8 year-old girls were so excited to have the trundle put together. They have been taking turns sleeping on it and are even pulling it out to have a comfy spot to read or crochet. Thank you Ana, I am SO HAPPY to have found your site!

My take on the Rustic X Coffee Table

We had this unused lower deck and this bar height table was the perfect addition. We have place now to hang when too hot or it’s raining. My husband and I built it in one weekend and your plans where great.

I have a tiny house and for additional storage I've been drooling over building this for a good long time. I finally got some extra money that I could dedicate to it. Having to have a major surgery at the end of last summer I knew I couldn't do a garden because of how every day I didn't know how I would feel. I did know that I could work a little at a time when I felt I could and get as much done as possible on a shed. By the end of the summer I had an awesome shed thanks to Ana and her plans. I had to do my own research for the base and how to sit it on the ground. I chose to dig 2 trenches in the dirt, put small gravel in and put 2 pressure treated sleepers to rest my bottom deck on. I also primed the plywood floor to try and help with less moisture through the different cycles of the year. Checked on it last week to put the Christmas decorations away and dry as a bone inside and all looking as good as I had hoped on the outside.

Fancy table for outside barbecues. I built this table out of 100% Cedar. In order to maintain the lighter cedar color, I just several coats polyurethane for outdoor protection.

Good morning, I took this double chair with table and made it my own. Adding bigger arm rests and table top. This chair is so comfortable and sturdy. Totally love all your projects. Keep up the awesome work. Thanks agin

I had so much fun on the first entry table I built, I decided to build another one and add a side table to it. I had enough extra wood around the garage to make my weekend filled with fun and building.

Definitely need a square for the nightstands!

Our very first DIY furniture piece my husband & I made. We absolutely love it & will definitely be doing more DIY projects together.

These plans were the perfect little end tables for my "sitting area" in my kitchen. I went out and found scraps from my pile in the shed and only had to buy one 1x3! With my kids I rarely have time to do a project in one day. I measure one day, cut and sand another, and then build another. These babies sat unfinished by my couch for a couple of months, and I FINALLY finished them! Yea! I love them! It is my first attempt at painting furniture and distressing, it's not perfect, but I am happy to have a little more confidence! I love the tables! Thanks Ana!

I was inspired to build an airplane shelf for my son based on the plane old shelf design, and I've always liked WW2 era p-51 Mustangs. So I thought I'd give it a shot. I built this design out of mostly 3/4 plywood scrap. I glued 3 pieces together for the fuselage and routed out the wings for a rounded look. I then thought it would be cool to add some LED lights. That got me thinking, if I added enough lights underneath the wings he could use it to read books at night. There are 12 lights underneath and it seems to be very bright. The prop spins thanks to a few washers and a long screw. Most of my cost was tied up in LED lights since I used spare parts and scrap wood. It took me at least 10 hours to build as I had never tried to build something like this and experimented along the way.
