My Awesome Corner Cabinet

I really needed more Pantry space in my small kitchen. Found these plans on the site and set out to make it. Needed a little splash of color to add to my otherwise earth-tone color scheme. Love it!

Revamping the backyard with your awesome sectional plans!
With the third baby set to arrive in several months, I needed to take back the crib from my youngest and consolidate the girls living space. After scouring the Anna White site and looking dreamily at plans and general building instructions for several months, these beds are what I came up with. A combination of the Lydia and Farmhouse beds, I made alterations for the wood I had on hand and the final product I envisioned- complete with decorative trim and even wallpaper! My girls love them!
I built ledge shelves for our kitchen using reclaimed wood I painted teal, then silver, then flat black (Napoleon).
Love having them. :)

Great looking shelves, and it's neat how you got these in the corner shape. It adds so much storage! The color looks perfect with the tile and counter. Love the little flecks of the other colors peeking through too! Great job!

These ledge shelves really are my favorite shelves right now. I plan to add a few more to my daughter's room, but I'll wait to make those until after I build her dresser. :)

I love your adaptation of the original design. I have been looking for an example of someone who made this plan into a wider shelf. Has it held up well? I was worried about the stress on the joints when you make it deeper. Has yours handled the weight? How wide is the bottom piece?

I've had the shelves up for about a year now and it's still in the same spot. The corner shelves are the most sturdy, most likely because it is supported by screws in two perpendicular walls. Its filled with mason jars (re-used, cleaned pickle jars) of pantry items, and there is no visible stress on the joints that I can see.
The smaller shelf is not as sturdy because I could not locate a stud (that didn't have electrical wiring close to it). I used wall anchors and it sags ever so slightly forward (about a millimeter). We only keep our drinkware on it, however.
The base of the shelf is made from a 1x8 (7-1/4" wide). The full width of the shelf with the 1x4 back and 1x2 front lip is about 8-3/4" wide.
I hope this comment reaches you and that it helpful!
Hi friends!
Jen Woodhouse here from the House of Wood.
Today I'm sharing with you the building details for this beautiful Rustic Industrial Bar Cart.
This DIY bar cart has a lot of neat features: a bottom shelf tall enough to hold full size wine bottles and decanters, a hanging stemware rack, and a removable serving tray on top! What more could you need?
Be sure to tag me @jenwoodhouse if you share photos of your build on social media. I'd love to see it!
You can get all the details for this build on my website www.jenwoodhouse.com.
I just made one of the shelves instead of two like the plan calls for. It's painted a dark brown to match the bunk bed that I previously made for my girls. Mine was a little more expensive because I used 1x12's instead of plywood.

You did a beautiful job! Where did you get your pretty pink storage bins? I've been looking for some like them for my granddaughter's room.
Mon, 08/29/2011 - 19:56
They're just the closet maid bins. I think I bought mine at Lowe's.
My husband designed this after the farm house bed. I wanted panels on the head board and foot board to "dress it up a bit" and storage drawers. He did a wonderful job. I don't think I have ever had a more prized piece of furniture. Now to find some tall night stands.

is there anyway to get the plans from him? for the adjustments and cubbies he made?
Wed, 09/23/2015 - 11:54
Any chance you or your husband would share the adjusted plans to include the storage under mattress?
Thank you so much! love your site and your work!

Hi Ana!
I was wondering if you had the plans available for this bed with the drawers underneath and the head and foot board ?
:) thank you!

Ana,
Can you provide plans with pics for this bed? My wife wants it and I got tasked with doing it.
Sun, 06/07/2020 - 06:27
Do you have the plans for this in a King size bed with the drawers? This is a beautiful bed!!
thank you!
Tue, 01/26/2021 - 12:26
I would love to have plans for this bed with draws for a California king bed if at all possible.
Stove Top Cover for more counterspace.

Without the plans it's hard to understand how it was built. Do you have the plans
Adjusted the shelves slightly. Love the roll away portion.

This is gorgeous, thank you for sharing! Just shared on our facebook page, we'd love to give credit if you'd like to respond with your name:)
First project for actual furniture ever. This stuff is better than a good book that you can't put down. I am so addicted!
This was a family summer project. I built the bed and furniture...my wife and daughter did all the painting and picked out the accent pieces!
My wife, grandchildren, and I have spent the last 8 months building 2 bunk beds from the site. First we build this cabin version for my grandsons and then we built the sweet pea version for my granddaughters. I thank Ana White for using this website to enable amateur wood workers like myself a tool that enabled us to create a great piece of furniture that they use every day and collect childhood memories and know how much they are loved. Thank you Ana White.
Been a while since I had time to actually build anything worth posting about! My wife wanted some items for her Kindergarten classroom this year, so built several items, most inspired by the Farmhouse family.
Just completed the Octagon picnic table. I added a couple of features to mine, namely a center hole for an umbrella and support blocks around the center point under the table to lock in the umbrella post on the lower base. Finished it in time to have lunch AND dinner on it today. This took from Monday through Thursday morning for me, but some of that time was me waiting for supplies along the way. In reality, I think this can be built in one day, with paint/stain curing overnight and final set up on the morning of day two.
When Ana posted the plans for the Doll Farmhouse Bed I quickly started thinking of all the little girls I could build this for. I ended up building 4 of them. The first one was definitely my learning curb, the other three went a lot smoother and just looked better!
When we sold our last house, we sold the dining room furniture we had custom built with it. We did projects, homeschooled and ate off of a folding table for the first 7 months we lived in our new house. Until we built our new farmhouse table!
This is our second Ana White project, our first was the loft bed which turned out great! With this project we used 16" wide boards for the extra room for backpacks and it fit perfectly in our space at the end of the hall. We used Beadboard for the back panel and painted it with Valspar interior semi gloss paint I got off the reject shelf at Lowes at $10 for a gallon! This is my new favorite piece of furniture in the house!

Sorry about the sideways photo, I tried to fix it to no avail.
DIY grid mirror. Used exact plan.
Well I decided for my first project/projects to make chairs for my girls. They turned 2 and 3 last month. I also made a couple of chairs for friends of ours who have twin boys that also turned 3. Once I got the hang of it making the chairs didn't take to long but painting seemed to take forever. But I love how all the chairs turned out.
Mon, 07/18/2011 - 13:51
I'm so glad you made these! The paint definitely looks like it took some time, but worth it! Love the second photo of the two chairs, they are sturdy, eh?

I am happy I made them too. The are super sturdy. Toddlers climb all over them and when they aren't looking adults sit on them. No problems. I am making a couple more but a little taller for our kitchen.
I made this table to go next to an outdoor grill to be used as a food prep area or just a surface for holding ingredients (instead of using the deck railing!). The top is stainless steel which fits tightly over 2 3/4" pieces of plywood laminated together. The bar/handle in front is made out of galvanized pipe. All wood was treated.
Legs - 4x4 posts
Bottom shelf - 1x6's
Sides - 1x4's
Top - 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood laminated together with a stainless steel top (custom fit) over top
Towel bar - galvanized pipe (cut and threaded to size at Lowe's), floor flanges and 90 degree elbows

Sorry about the late reply! Yes, I just gave my dimensions to a local steel supplier and they made the top. I think I have about $40 into the stainless. They didn't weld the corners but I've never had an issue with them.
Sat, 04/26/2014 - 15:41
I too would like to know your source for the sheet metal.

I just found a local steel supplier, told them what I need and they formed the top. It cost me around $40 (without welding of the corners). I took a fine grit sandpaper to it afterward to scuff it up so it didn't look so bright.

I would like to know are there any plans available to make this table? I am very impressed of its design.

No...I didn't have any plans when I built it but it's a very simple concept. I chose to use all treated wood since I knew it would be sitting outside unprotected. However, my 4x4 posts weren't square so this caused a lot of problems and everything was built to fit. I believe I just used 4x4's, 1X6s (for the bottom shelf) and 1x4s for the sides (top and bottom). For the top, I just laminated 2 pieces of 3/4" plywood together to bulk it up and then had the stainless top built to fit. It fit perfectly so I didn't glue it to the plywood. This makes it easy to remove and clean, if necessary. For the galvanized pipe (towel bar), I bought it at Lowe's and had them cut/thread it to fit my dimensions.
