Lounge Chair
I made this lounge chair from a sketchup file which I found on the Internet; thanks to Ana White site, I discovered the Sketchup software and I learnt to use it. I measured all the elements and thanks to the plans of lounge chairs of the site, I was able to build that.I have to buy some plywood to make the tray and put it under the chair.
It is a present for my mother. I am very happy of the result.

Modified Turned Leg Vanity
![](/sites/default/files/3154845450_1400012329.jpg)
After falling in love with the Newport Vanity from Pottery Barn, I knew we would have to DIY it, since the original was not in our budget. I came across the plans from Ana, and off we went! We modified the plans a bit to fit our existing granite countertop- we didn't have space for the drawers, unfortunately. However, we used our Kreg Jig whenever possible, and it made the project very easy!

Fair question. Especially
Fair question. Especially when it costs over $25 for Osborne to ship the legs to me via UPS ground.

3 Adirondack Stools!

I chose this project as my children's first wood-working project. They are 2,7 and 8 years old. I didn't have a kreg jig. I just pre-drilled holes and used 2 1/2" screws and nails to put it all together. We had a hard time keeping everything square. I wasn't sure if the apron boards lined up in the center or against the edges of the legs. But we finally got it all built Then we primed and painted them.
It cost around $10 for the wood for all 3 stools, $5 for a gallon of oops paint (the light blue paint) and we already had the other 2 colors from previous projects. $7 for a box of screws but we only used a quarter of the box.

Needed a bed but not a lot of space Pretty simple build. Directions said to use Brad Nailer. Didn't have one at the time, but after the number of small finishing nails I bought one.

Second project ive ever made. Made the Farmhouse tables. these were harder to make than the bed I made. I Downsized to 20", dropped the shelf and added the slats, as well as added the Xs on the sides. Still in awe that I made a drawer that works! Fun project. Thanks to Ana for the great plans.

Rustic TV Stand
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_4739_0.jpg)
I'm calling this a TV stand but it could also be used as a console or side table. It would easily fit behind a couch or be placed in a bedroom for storage. Being "rustic", it was built with simply construction methods from low cost lumber. The total material cost (excluding baskets) was around $50.

Sideboard & Hutch
My wife loved the sideboard, only did not like the drawers. I just changed the dimensions to accommodate without them. A couple of weeks later she decided she wanted a hutch for the top with glass doors so the items in the center could be visible. This is what I came up with. She stained with Espresso stain and Basil milk paint. Thanks Ana & Hillary for great ideas.

Beautiful!
What were the dimensions that you used to replace the drawers? I prefer it this way. You did a remarkable job. I love the finish, rustic and modern at the same time!!
Extra long 76" floating shelf
![](/sites/default/files/20160824_191811.jpg)
I wanted a shelf to extend the entire length of our laundry room. It's 76 inches, so I had to modify the existing plan for one slightly longer shelf instead of three 72 inch ones.
Cut list for 76 inch floating shelf:
2 - 1/4 plywood strips @ 76" x 7 3/4" (top & bottom of shelf)
1 - 1 x 2 @ 76" (front of shelf)
2 - 1 x 2 @ 73" (shelf frame)
4 - 1 x 2 @ 7" (ends of shelf and shelf frame)
6 - 1 x 2 @ 5 1/2" (shelf frame studs)
I was able to build this using scrap 1x2 for the studs and ends. I bought two 8 ft 1x2 pieces and one piece of 1/4 plywood, which I still have a lot left of.
I have children and this was my first time building something on my own, so it took me any spare time I could manage over the course of a week.
I can't wait to build again! Thanks Ana!

Canned Food Storage

Made this for my dry closet. Super easy to construct and it works perfect. I just wish there was something similar to use for paper towels.
Storage Bed/Bench
![](/sites/default/files/3154813308_1343777448.jpg)
I made this for the sitting area in our master bedroom. I liked it because my wife and I can use it as a bench to sit and read on and also as a bed if we have the whole family over for the holidays and my guest bed and the kids' beds are taken. Overall this was around $100 and it took me two whole days to finish. I worked pretty much all day both days. I would say in total about 16 hours. Measuring and cutting was the largest part of the time. I made the mistake of cutting the trim before I made the boxes and was left with about an extra quarter inch in between most of the trim pieces. I filled this in with sandable paintable caulk and it did the trick. If you have any other questions please let me know. Thanks!
