I made this for my friend's daughter. I can't believe how easy this was to make. It is sturdy and really light weight. I put it together in one afternoon and painted it the next day.

This was my first project and I am hooked. This was an easy build. I only ran into challenges attaching the headboard and footboard to the frame because I really wanted to be able to disassemble it and reassemble just in case.. fortunately I located a website selling threaded metal inserts and I ended up just bolting it on with hex bolts. 

I was  just surprised by how fast I could build it and how long it took to finish it. Sand, wood filler, sand, caulk, prime, sand, paint, sand, paint. Get interrupted by my kids 100 times. 

Already plotting my next 3 builds..

I wanted an outdoor lounge. My partner had to work so he helped me get started and I finished it alone. He surprised me a build a corner table to complete the look.
I love it !!

This project has been modified to fit our microwave.

This coffee table was my first woodworking project ever. I followed the plans exactly but left the X off each end. They seemed a little daunting for the first time around, plus I like it without them better. Great plans and great result!

My granddaughter picked the stain color.

First project made from scratch....took me a while but glad it is finished! Will try to do one more of a larger size for my other dog.

Seen here is my first personal wood working project. I loved the two tone look of this piece as the white really complements and makes the antique walnut stained drawer fronts pop! While the dresser turned out really well considering it being my first build, I learned a lot of lessons. I had a lot of challenges because like every new wood worker, you likely wont have all the right tools for the task at hand. I built this dresser with a circular saw, Kreg jig tool, a miter saw and Wagner spray gun. With these limitation, most task took 2x-3x longer than it normally would. In the end, I was pleased with the outcome.

This is a project that I really enjoyed making. I did it in a hurry though because I really wanted to build a playhouse under a loft bed and felt like i should build the stuff that will go inside the playhouse before I but up the playhouse walls. So, here is my sort of finished play kitchen. I still have a few details I wanna add but I'm over it for right now... ready to build the playhouse! The best part was that I made this kitchen for free out of leftover scraps from other projects.

First project I have done by Ana White.

Hello everyone, Happy Holidays. I know so many of you are very busy getting ready for Thanksgiving, I would like to say I am so grateful you took a moment out of your busy time to visit me. Thank You.

I also have been very busy. This year my husband challenged me to get our big table done before Thanksgiving. He didn’t think I could do it. Ha Ha, I showed him, and two additional chairs also.

This table is gorgeous, but I cannot take all the credit. This design comes from Ana White.

I was so excited to see the plans for this on Ana's website. I knew that it would be on my list of things to one day do. That day finally came about 6 months ago. I know it's not suppose to take that long but I work full time and go to school at night so they only time I had to work on this was on the weekends (if I was lucky). After the build, I stained with a Chestnut color and used a color by Sherwin Williams named Greek Villa. I distressed it with a sanding block and finished with 3 coats of a poly satin finish. I finally finished this project about 4 hours ago and I could not be happier with the outcome!! Can't wait to start on the nightstands to match!

This was fast and easy, and it is so useful. Thank you for the plans!

This was a scaled down version of the Fancy X Table. Dimensions are 19.25" deep, 30" high and 55" long. I eliminated the cross bases because I wanted to store baskets underneath. The sheet metal was cut to size and aged by a local guy for $50. Fun project!!

I needed to fill a larger space. I modified the plans to make a 3ft planter.
