I painted mine!
I modified the back with a larger piece of wood because my cushions kept falling through. Then I painted it white to go better with my cushions. Only took about 4 hours to make and then a couple to paint. Good luck!

I love how this desk turned out. I haven't had corner brackets catch my eye yet, but I may still add them. This was the first real Brad Nailer project I have completed. It is stained in a dark walnut. Thanks again for another great plan and tutorial video!

To cute, really like the lettering. Not to many boy things to build, hands down one of my favorites!

Dice Bookends
![](/sites/default/files/dice.jpg)
I made these bookends with 4x4 offcuts and pine scraps.
I couldn't decide what colour I wanted so I made 3 sets. White, charcoal and stained timber.
I think I like the charcoal best.

The hardest part was getting dice dots layout correct.
White Chalk paint, distressed then clear coated.
Charcoal paint, Stained then clear coated

I've bookmarked this plan a long time ago just waiting for the time and energy to make it! I recruited my dad to help and he put it together for me over the weekend.
I used one coat of minwax dark walnut for stain and one coat of semi gloss polyurethane for protection.
My son loves it, and it looks great in his new room!

Giant Burlap Memory Board
![](/sites/default/files/11048655_10205123882888683_6931765918382490517_o_1.jpg)
This memory board is 6ft tall x 3 ft wide using MDF 1x4 boards, baseboards, and crown molding layered over a sheet of 1/4" plywood covered with batting, fabric and burlap. We found a similar item at a local furniture store and fell in love with it, but we were unwilling to pay the $1200 they were asking, so we built one ourselves. I love the way it turned out and just need to find more pictures to add to the board.

Custom Pool Table
This is a custom pool table we built recently and delivered to Jackson, Wy. Built from Big Leaf Maple slabs with Jatoba accents. This pool table also features a removable ping pong table top. We built it in such a way that the customer can use it as a large buffet table when hosting parties. We build custom pool tables that are customized to a customers specifications. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank You!

My husband built the painter's ladder shelf and I painted it, it's now featured in our guest bathroom and we love it! :)
Thanks so much for the plans Ana!
Modified to a wider width bottom.

Headboard from a door
I made this Headboard from am old 5 panel solid core Douglas fir door I found at a building construction recycling place. I originally wanted to stain it, but the door, which was previously stained with a polyurethane proved to be very difficult. I wanted to avoid dealing with a hollow core door after trimming both sides to make it symmetrical.
I purchased some French cleats to hang this, but you could make some out of wood to cut more costs!
Very cheap to make!

Farmhouse Patio Table
![](/sites/default/files/20170623_183217.jpg)
I liked the plans, and the table came out beautiful. Only issue is that there isn't much support for the bread board ends. Don't try to move the table by lifting up on the ends. May need additional bracing in the future. Was able to make a side table with the leftover pieces and an extra 2x4. Love it.

Our grandsons live 10 hours away. I always try to make something for them when they visit. When we saw them a few weeks ago they needed a table their size!
My first Farm House Table
![](/sites/default/files/3154826577_1368040575.jpg)
I have been building things from recycled fencing we acquire from our business for a while, but this is the first large table I have made. I used recycled backing rails and pickets to make the Farmhouse table from Ana's plans. I shortened the length of the table but otherwise pretty much stuck to the plans. I did use different wood for the top then Ana had, I used old white painted backing rails that are basically 2x4's for the base of the table and I used old gray weathered pickets for the table top. It isn't perfect and my notch's could have been more presice, but I am still happy with the outcome.

I followed the original plans, mostly. I mitered the corners on the trim and 1x2s, and I used a 1x2 just under the top instead of closing the back since I went with a dark stain (General Finishes Gel Stain- Java, Deft spray poly satin). This is one of my first projects, and I got to play with a block plane, gel stain, pocket-hole plugs, moulding, table saw, and my nail gun for the first time. I was especially pleased how well this matched the dark cabinets in the room. Man, stain is a pain. I may make everything in raw cedar from now on.

Wide Short Pine 1x12 Bookshelf
![](/sites/default/files/bookshelf01.jpg)
This was my first project ever, and while there are a few things I could have done better (don't judge the imperfections!) the shelves still came out beautifully. I followed Ana's plan exactly, painting the backboard a charcoal grey before attaching, and the shelves themselves white with light lemon yellow on the inside-sides. If I were to make these again, I would want to sand the shelves down more and use a higher gloss paint or sealer. The matte finish is more difficult to clean when it gets dusty, which happens pretty quickly!
Oversized Redwood Heavy-Duty Outdoor Dining Table
![](/sites/default/files/3154826687_1368144229.jpg)
I modified Ana's plans just a bit.
8ft long by 3 1/2ft wide. Used 2X lumber instead of 1X in hopes of reducing the chance for warping over time.
I also went w/ 4X4's for the legs.
Cost was a bit more for redwood here in the Bay Area of California.
