 Made the 3-table set with 2 Rustic X end Tables and a Rustic X Coffee Table. These are my first woodworking projects ever and I'm so excited to do more!

Built this desk for my parents to fit in their office space. It is made to look like the Hendrix desk except smaller. I sandwiched together 2 pieces of plywood to make the desktop thick and sturdy.

easy build

RusticX living room set with a tea/steel wool-vinegar treatment and a paste wax finish.

Loved the simplicity of this design. It turned out beautiful. My sectional is 6'X10'X10'.

My son is getting to the age where he wants to see everything we are doing whether it's in the kitchen or at the workbench out in the garage. This tower is PERFECT! We were eyeballing a $200 tower on Amazon but I was thrilled to find these plans. Even with the hingest I think I came in under $40. He immediately figured out how to climb up by himself and the top rung is a good height for him. This is going to get a lot of use! The build itself was an easy afternoon but of course the multiple coats of polyurethane took a few days since they had to dry. Thank you the wonderful plans!

Porch Art for Valentines Day

I made this for a good friend of mine who just moved into a new house. I used all reclaimed wood and made my own stain for it. The legs are made from 100+ year old oak and the side aprons are from vintage walnut. The only wood that isn't vintage was the pine on top, I wanted a rustic look so I used pine boards that separated masonite boards and laid a towel on top and bumped it a few times with a hammer and dropped a few things. The boards weren't long enough for the table I cut some in half to make the table longer. I also added corner brackets to fit the look of the house.

Took about 8 Hrs total. Used the Kreg jig except on the sides. Left the screws exposed for a more industrial look

We did it!

This is a canopy bed I made for my niece for Christmas! I modified the plans and so it's a little bit different, I would do it differently next time as it was hard to get the bottom right. But it turned out cute, and she loves it, it's a size for a Barbie Doll.

Followed the basic design but used 1x4's instead of a project panel for the top. Found a great drawer pool at a little shop in Folsom.

I own a small furniture and home décor company called Inspired By Home and we love Ana White's site! When we saw this mirror top coffee table, we knew we had to have one for our home. Since we have a 3-piece sectional sofa that takes up the majority of the living room space, we knew we needed something that was a little bit smaller so I made some adjustments to these plans. The dimensions for our coffee table are 34"L x 28"W x 21"H. Most coffee table are about 18"H but our sofa sits a little higher and I also have very long legs so I needed something a little bit taller. We also decided not to do a mirror top because A) we didn't have an old mirror we could use, and B) because we are not big fans of having any glass tabletops. I instead went with a rutic look and added a bottom shelf to match.

Thank you, Ana and your team!

Built for the boys to go with their new swingset. Advice: laminated cotton does not hold up well outside, so don't use it to cover the seats!

Simple and very easy to build. Used scraps left over from other builds. 

I couldn't believe how simple this console table was. I used my Kreg pocket hole jig to easily add the shelf and am so pleased with my results. Used white-washed pickling stain to hivevit this great color. 

We had a horrible time finding furniture in Mexico for our house and decided to build our own starting with these chairs for our roof top deck!
