Filled all the Knots with wood filler and sanded with 150g sandpaper. I used a Minwax Pre Stain Conditioner. Used Minwax Provincial 211 Stain. Finished with 2 coats of Minwax Semi Gloss Poly.

We wanted more seating in our living room so we made the bench closer to full bench height at 14.5"  We then made some simple cushions. I built the bench a few hours each day. 

Was a challenging but fun project. 

I used the Master Closet system plans with a slight modifcation for the slanted cellings

I used these plans to build this toy box for my niece. My wife insisted that I add the soft-close lid supports.

My dad and I made this by following your plans for the Craftiness is not Optional Dress Up Storage - we ended up skipping the wheels because I have carpet in the playroom. We used a countersink drill bit to be able to place wood plugs on top of the screws, and sanded the whole thing with a power sander after finishing.

Table and benches, used the 4x4 truss beam table as a guide and inspiration.

I got an American Girl doll on super sale for my step daughter for Christmas, so of course accessories were in order! I've only made the $10 ledges before (that I have yet to hang) and I don't have many tools so I needed a super simple project. When Ana posted the plans for this bed I knew it was the perfect match! After all, it is meant to be built by children hahaha.

Actually my first build ever. Red oak plywood top and poplar everything else. Added poplar 1x3s around the edges so you don't see the plywood edge. It's surprisingly sturdy!

Hi there. I did the Clara Table and $4 Stackable chairs for my daughter for Christmas, going with a yellow and grey theme. Total cost for the wood was $25.

Hello.   I made this toy box for my niece based off of the simple modern toy box plans.  It was completed with a distressed finish and is my first project using the kreg jig.   The letters are Fiberglas letters from hobby lobby.   Overall, I'm pleased with the results.   I welcome your comments and opinions.    Thank you. 

I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome plans. We modified the dimensions a bit to match our couch. 

Thank you again!

My husband used Ana's plans for the Loft bed and then added his own touch. My daughter loves it. It turned out great. Thank you Ana.. So much cheaper to build it yourself.

I altered the plans slightly starting with the desk's top.  I had extra 1 x 12 on hand so I worked the dimensions around that.  The height and width is the same, only the depth is changed. This was a very simple and enjoyable build.
