My wife saw the farmhouse table and wanted me to build it so bad, that she sold our current dining table the next day! Looks like we had to do it! Just love this table and the plans were so easy to follow. We modified the legs and a few other things, but all in all we are so happy with the results. This is only my third build, so im learning as I go, but we couldnt be mroe happy with the results! 

Overall I am very pleased with this project and I deviated from the plan with the drawer fronts and the slides as well.

I'm a beginner, I had only made the play kitchen, Mom's lego table and a workbench before I took on this project. I had so much fun making this. I made tons of mistakes, but it's all repairable. My daughter loves it.

I have a build in chalkboard and fishtank in there. And check out the remote control fireplace.

Thank you SO much for the plans, Ana. You've made some awesome childhood memories for my kids.

I made the canopy doll bed for my very first project. I had only ever put together particle board furniture kits before this. The building went pretty smoothly, but it would have been nice to have more clamps or an extra pair of hands. I built the bed and sanded it in one afternoon. I painted it the next day, and sewed the bedding the day after that. It was really fun to build and my 6 year old daughter loves it! I can't wait to start my next project.

This is a bed that we did for my son's room, Star Wars theme.

So, my three-year-old son was super jealous that I spent some time and made my friend a sling chair for her birthday. He kept saying, "Mommy, I want you to make ME a chair!" So I did! Oh my word, was this EVER easy!!!! I super duper LOVE this chair! I bought some canvas fabric at Walmart for $2.50 a yard (clearance) and the wood (furring strips) cost me about $8. So less than $10 a chair. I couldn't be more thrilled! And he's in love with his chair, too! He wouldn't even let me take it out of the garage before trying it out....see picture of my adorable toddler in his jammies below. (-: This chair took me about 45 minutes to cut and assemble. I spray painted it white and only did one coat to give it a white washed look.

Well we just bought a new house and the bedroom was a bit smaller and lower ceilings for two beds. One daughter had a queen and my other daughter was begging for a new loft bed. Well I searched for plans on many different bunk beds and I came to the conclusion that creating one from two different plans would save the most space. So I made the platform bed and the loft bed separately and added dowels to attach them . The girls were ecstatic. It turned out beautifully!

This project was based on the A frame chicken coop. I changed the dimensions  to metric with the main frame being 3m long and each side of the frame being 1.7m. The 2x4 was from reclaimed decking with new 2x2 for shorter pieces.

I added a chicken door (with a rope to open and close) and an egg door (with a tower bolt)  at each end of the enclosed chicken house section at the top. The chicken house has a removable roosting bar and space for the nesting boxes.  One of the bottom sections has a hinged frame to allow easy access to the run.
The hardest part was fixing wire netting to the inside as there wasn't much room to swing a hammer to put the fixings into the wood. I used a mix of 13mm and 25mm mesh and welded 50mm framing. There is wire mesh all the way round the outside to stop foxes digging into the run.

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. 

The Swedish Bed/ fancy arch bed was a perfect fit with our more masculine Yeti yurt. The storage underneath is great for putting in extra bedding or robes for guests to use. We love this bed it adds to the magic of sleeping in a yurt.

I absolutely love this project. I do not have a pantry with a door so I just placed this spice rack on my wall and it really looks great! We have a ton of spices so I might need to make another!

For several years now we’ve put the guest bedroom at the bottom of our home decorating priorities, but a couple of weeks ago we decided to give the room some love and built these nightstands.

You can see all the details in my blog.

This is a shorter and more narrow version of the Farmhouse table, it works perfectly for 2 kids to sit and do homeowrk or color at.
Most of teh legs are built out of reclaimed pallet wood, driving the cost way down, I did not include the stain and wax into my total cost since I had these on hand.

My kiddos LOVE this clubhouse. We use it in the playroom, but also could be an extra bed.
