Grandy Console with handmade hardware

We took the rustic x console table plan and made it half the length and a bit narrower for the unity table at my daughters wedding. It is made of white pine 2x4's, white pine 2x10's for the top and the shelves are 3/4 pine plywood.It is stained minwax red mahogany and finished with 3 coats of ace brand gloss polyurethane. Lydia is using it for the TV in their apartment.Total cost was less than $25 so this was a bargain console.It only took a few hours to build and stain it. Due to the heat in Arkansas the finish was a chore . It dried too fast and had runs so I had to sand alot. It looked kinda rustic after I sanded so I just put 2 more coats on and eveyone loves it.

Slightly modified in size so that it would better fit our wall. Really simple and fairly fast to complete. Wife LOVES it :)

Love this simple peice! 

Mud kitchen made from scraps for my coworker’s kids. (Mud kitchen is a little kitchen to make mud pies and let the little imagination play.) They love it!

This nightstand was my fourth build, and it was so much fun! All of the measurements listed were accurate and it was super easy to build! Doing my second one right now!

I needed something for my tv that would be high enough to accommodate our 18 inch sound bar sub so I modified the Taylor's Console plan to fit. Love the way it looks with my plank wall! Pretty happy with the first piece of furniture I built!

We had to adjust the center hutch a bit to fit the beds into the room, but we are very very pleased with how this turned out.  Thanks for the plans!

This outdoor set is a mix of the vintage bar stool plans and the simple table and bench set. I added a few things here and there.

Loving our new table - we ended up spending about $100 since we used for 4x4s than 2x4s. We also left out the 2 center pieces since we shorted the table to 6ft.

I used the corner bookcase plan.  It was easy to follow.  I think it turned out well for my 2nd wood project. My sister had the idea of painting the panels blue to match the buildin bookcases in my libray room.  I have the backs of them painted navy blue.

We didn't paint it, but between two newbies, it only took an afternoon. It has freed up a ton of space in the cabinets!

I'm so excited about my farmhouse table! I used mostly scrap wood that I had lying around, and I adjusted the length of the table to fit my space (it is 62" long). I cut the table ends in a curve pattern just for a little more interest. I used the steel wool/vinegar solution to darken and age the top, with a paste wax finish on top to give it a more aged patina. I painted the base with the paint leftover from my outdoor sectional that I built from Ana's plans. The actual table didn't take long to put together, but it took me a month to get around to the finish.

Sorry for the photos - I used my cell phone camera and the light was bad!
