Our version of the farmhouse bed!

I love our table and bench (and high chair). It's working well for our family and I had a lot of fun building and finishing it. Thanks for the plans, Ana!

I don't think I made any modifications to the table or bench, but I used 1x3s for the high chair instead of 1x2s.

I'm so in love with this table! We altered the plans slightly by making the table wider. Enough to put 2 chairs on the end. The table will hold 12 people pretty comfortably with a lot of room in the middle for food. We added a 2x2 under the 2x4 frame instead of the sandwich look. We also mitered the corners for a more finished look. I finished with Minwax Special Walnut and applied 2 coats of oil based poly with a light scrub on final coat with steel wool.

I created this 25" single door turned leg bathroom vanity for the powder room. I used a grey base coat, then glazed it with a dark brown coat and finally put on a coat of satin indoor polyurethane to finish. The sink is a Kohler Persuade single hole sink with a Delta Cassidy faucet.

I made this bookshelf for my living room using old bifold doors and bricks. There isn't any building required (just assembly) but it is a piece of DIY furniture so I thought I would share.

This was a fun project to get my feet wet again in woodworking. We adjusted the plans slightly. Our table is 80" x 40". It is supported and bordered with a 2x4 frame that ties it all together. As my friend said, you can stand on that thing. Lots of fun, and can't wait for my wife to enjoy it.

My husband and I re-created the farmhouse bed night stand from Ana White!! I tried to stain it first but didn't have much luck and decided to paint it to match our farmhouse bed.

We didn't follow the plans exactly. Since our bed was higher we made our own measurements for this project.

this.was my first attempt at making furniture. Using Ana's plans.were straightforward and couldnt have done without them. thanks Ana!

I built two of the floating shelves and they came out great! I will be building some more of these hopefully soon! I put some of my step by step photos on my blog. Thanks again for the amazing plans!

The directions were SO easy to follow! I made one chair for my husband for Father's Day, and ended up making two more. My plan to to have four total. The only mod I made was to use 1x5's for the arm rests instead of 1x4's. Painted with Sherwin Williams Duration Satin in Ethereal Mood.

Our wine fridge died, and we didn't really need to replace it. Since we can always use more storage space in the kitchen, the hubby made me this coffee bar as adapted from a coffee bar brag post that was adapted from Michela's Kitchen Island plan. He was able to make it with all 2x4s and created the 4x4 legs by gluing 2 boards together. Put it on some caster wheels and we have a perfect coffee bar!!

I modified Sausha's design, taking out the bottom shelf, adding a back brace, and putting fascia boards on. I also put in a 2x4 between the underframe and each back leg at a forty-five degree angle as braces. My legs are a bit different too. I used three 2x4's. The first leg piece goes from the plywood top to the ground. I put four screws between it and the frame. Then I took two 2x4's and placed them butted at a ninety degree angle around it flush with the frame above.
