Farmhouse coffee table

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Fri, 10/04/2019 - 10:56

For this coffee table I actually used the triple pedestal farmhouse table as an inspiration and just made it smaller and made 2 rather than 3 pedestals! I made the top the size I wanted it to be and then I made the pedistals really short to get the look I was after!

Bunk Bed

Submitted by hoffer5353 on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 14:04

I am very happy to have completed the up portion of the bunk bed. The full size down was done quite sometime ago and I became sidetracked on other projects.
This is a sturdy bed and a favorite in my home. One day I even found my husband napping (hiding) on the top bunk.
The part that I like the best is when we graduate from bunk beds we still have two beds to use.
I also completed the ladder and it works, but I cut it just alittle shorter than the plan called for. Lets just put another on my to do list.

It was surprisingly more easy that I expected. It helped me stay motivated to finish both beds.

DIY Wood Headboard

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 08/24/2023 - 12:10

Thank You for this Headboard Plan. It was very easy. Other than painting it I completed it in less than 3 hours. A nail gun sure saves some time. Everyone loved it. They wanted me to put clear coat on it because it looked really good, but I ended up painting it to match my other bedroom furniture which is Black.

Family stocking stand

Submitted by kjoslyn78 on Tue, 12/24/2019 - 14:33

We have a vent-less gas wall heater, but had no mantel for hanging stockings. Thanks to the new plan, we have the perfect solution! We already had the 2X4s left over from the simple panel bed project, so we only purchased hooks and stains for this. 

We shortened the width to accommodate 4 stockings instead of 5 (we cut the 2 cross pieces 9 inches shorter). We also decided to add a large 2X6 cap to mimic a mantel, which really seems to tie it all together much better. We love this and have ideas now on how to make slight changes so it will more easily slide "over"/around the wall heater

(yes, we are not keeping it that close while stockings are hung, so as to not risk catching fire)

I’m looking to make one similar to this but looking to make it a little bigger for two Great Danes. Do you still have the plans and or cut list for this project to help me out. I’d greatly appreciate it if so.

Popcorn Machine Stand and Storage on Wheels

Submitted by advanlente on Sat, 03/28/2020 - 10:55

My parent organization at the elementary school had just bought a brand new popcorn machine but had nowhere to store it. So, I offered to try my hand at building a stand with storage. I knew that we needed the stand to be mobile as the idea was to pop the popcorn in different classrooms for incentives, etc. I modified the kitchen prep cart to have a large cabinet underneath to store the popcorn, bags, etc. The pullout drawer was home to the measuring cups, directions, etc. I used my Cricut and cut out our school logo, placed on the popcorn machine and then polyurethaned it to the side. It turned out great!!! I could not be happier :)

Faux Mantle

Submitted by Lady Goats on Wed, 04/02/2014 - 12:26

Built a fireplace using Mimi's Faux Mantle plans - I think it turned out great!

Built from Purebond plywood because I can't find straight boards in bigger sizes in my area (EVER!) and used fir 1x's for everything else.

Finished with three coats of Behr paint/primer in ultra white. I will not buy Behr again. Personal preference.

DIY RH Dining Table

I loved making this! I had to travel about 2 hours to get the DF 4x4s which was the only pain in making it. This was my third big project and it wasn't hard at all! It's super heavy so it was a litte tough to turn it over. It only took me about 3 days to make it once I had all the wood.
