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!

Recently identified this wonderful website. Thank you for the plan and really enjoying the process of building the furniture from scratch.

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.

The husband and I have been very inspired by the awesome women (and men) on this site that have created their own pieces of furniture. They all look so amazing! So the husband wanted to give it a shot and try creating this dog crate / end table as his first ever project. Now mind you, he hasn't done any sort of woodworking since wood shop class in high school... and that was at least a decade ago.

I have to say that I'm quite proud of the hubby's first finished project! Although, he did mess up a bit with the table top being an inch too short width wise. I really didn't want him to create another one because that would mean I would have to stain another one and I really REALLY do not want to stain again! So we compromised and ended up gluing a thin wood trim on the side end of the table top to cover up the mistake.

Fun project to build, and more fun for the kids. Ages 7-3 have been loving it. I used pressure treated 2x4s since it would be outdoors all the time. Thanks for the idea.

Outdoor bench made by Estate of Bliss LLC 

Made this for our patio area very fun build, my wife loves it so of course she wants another one! Back to the wood stove.

Have two boys who where in need of more floorspace to play. Saw the great plans for the Camp Loft and decided to make a double wide. One platform and two beds.

All in all went together as designed. Eliminated the stairs for a ladder. Works great if you have a long wall.

A requested one-seater bench. Made of cedar and finished with spar urethane.

Your plan for this toy box was sooo easy to follow, but I added the feet. My grandson loved it. I have 2 other projects from your plans for him as well.

With my beadboard installed and the trim board for my hooks in place in my back entry I was ready to get building. I decided to tackle the shelf first since that would be easier to install without the bench in the way.

For my shelf design I planned it together with my bench so that I could cut everything but the bench top and face framing pieces from a single piece of plywood. Also, the width of my space is a little strange and the shelf couldn't be too deep because of my window location.

I think the shelf turned out cute and I can't wait to prime and paint it and add the coat hooks. I plan to do the finishing work at the same time as the bench so I need to build my bench first though.

Followed directions but altered the length of the bookshelf to fit tight space. Super easy to build, not as easy to put up. Recommend anxious and drilling into the backs of the bookshelf.

This deck furniture was made using construction grade 2 x 4's and the simple plans from Ana. The cushions were purchased at Kohls. They were on sale for just under $25.00 each. The cushions are made for chairs, but this seemed to work well. The short bench is 4ft long and the long bench is 8ft. I altered plans slightly by adding center support on long bench and adding a couple supports on the back. The back rails and end arms were raised a little higher. Made them 30". May be a little too high? My wife is going to make back pillows and a corner table is to be added later. 

This was my first major woodworking project and i couldn't be happier with the result! I also built a miniature version for our dogs' dishes.
