Farmhouse Coffee Table
This was one of my first projects and I was thrilled with the way it turned out. The plans were great and easy to follow. It was also the first time I had stained anything. I was trying to really match a pallet wall in our den and Golden Oak color stain was absolutely perfect! Thanks Ana!

Farmhouse Bedside Table

This nightstand was my fourth build, and it was so much fun! All of the measurements listed were accurate and it was super easy to build! Doing my second one right now!

I needed something for my tv that would be high enough to accommodate our 18 inch sound bar sub so I modified the Taylor's Console plan to fit. Love the way it looks with my plank wall! Pretty happy with the first piece of furniture I built!

Modern Adirondack Chair

I really enjoyed making this. Notes: The board with 20 degree cuts needs to be cut at a longer length if cutting at 90 degrees and trimming later. The back support is a little low if you’re over 5’10”.

Recently identified this wonderful website. Thank you for the plan and really enjoying the process of building the furniture from scratch.

Simple outdoor set

This outdoor set is a mix of the vintage bar stool plans and the simple table and bench set. I added a few things here and there.

Great Work
I really like your table and bench. Even leaving off the massive 2x4s and using 1 x ? gives the table and bench a light look, but I will bet it is substantial. Keep up the good work.
Corner Bookcase

I used the corner bookcase plan. It was easy to follow. I think it turned out well for my 2nd wood project. My sister had the idea of painting the panels blue to match the buildin bookcases in my libray room. I have the backs of them painted navy blue.

Vintage Step Stool
![](/sites/default/files/3154814364_1346183859.jpg)
I made this vintage step stool awhile ago but forgot to post it to the Brag board. At first I made it then put a coat of a mix of beeswax and olive oil that I mixed up. But then it was being used in the bathroom by the kids and got filthy. So I sanded it down and put a coat of stain and poly on it. I love it much more now!
Very easy plan and great for a beginner project.

5 board bench
My husband was talking about going to burn some old boards, and when I asked about them - they were from a 100 year old barn! After some coaxing, he brought home a huge pile, and filed up his side of the garage. I've been looking for something to do with them and I found your site! I'm so excited for all the projects to come. This was my first build (after a corner tv console that went horribly wrong, lol). I shortened the bench a bit to fit the small wall in our mudroom. This was a great plan, super easy and super quick.

Modern Outdoor Sofa
![](/sites/default/files/7850AF4F-D056-4646-AAAB-F57F1614C605.jpeg)
We are building memories and patio furniture! We're total beginners and we built an outdoor sofa and coffee table! My husband and I have never built furniture before and really needed some patio furniture as we prepare to host our son and his sweetheart's wedding reception! We learned that it's a lot of work, but so worth it!
The plans we used are from Ana White's website (Ana, you've made a wanna-be carpenter out of me!) https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/outdoor-sofa-modern-comf…
