Console table

I built this using the plans for the Perfect End Table. I made it a little taller and jazzed up the shelf a bit. The whole project cost me less than $35!

Scrap 2x4 Bunny
![](/sites/default/files/100_2608_1.jpg)
I wanted to make a quick spring decoration. I dug through my scrap wood pile for some inspiration. This past winter, I made some snowmen out of scrap 2x4s. I decided I would make a bunny out of some scrap wood.
For more details and pictures of this and my other projects, please check out my blog at JaimeOfAllTrades.blogspot.com
This was super easy to make and it didn't cost me anything at all! What makes it great is that it is completely customizable! This would also make a great spring craft for the kids!

For Clyde
Great plans! I tweaked some dimensions to make it several inches longer, and I made the bars 12 inches instead of 6 to open it up more. Clyde loved it immediately!! It goes perfectly with our craftsman/mission themed design. Thank you!
Expanded Planter Box
![](/sites/default/files/32395BC7-B15F-4DA4-AAB8-6B6F3B785967.jpeg)
I wanted to put a planter around our new mailbox. So, I took your single planter design and build it as if it were three separate boxes only leaving out the interior pieces. It required making a T section for the middle pieces, And I made sure I used plenty of glue to firm up the structure and provide stiffness.

Madison's New High Chair
![](/sites/default/files/madison_highchair.jpg)
Less than $15 for wood and paint. Learned the incredible value of a Kreg Jig in the mix. We ended up painting it a princess pink :) We think this will be a great gift for our friends' toddlers!
Adirondack chair

Easy and fun. Don't worry yourself over the angle on the left side of the stringer. The 15 degree one matters, the other, not so much. Buy an extra 1x4 unless you want to spend a pile of time figuring out how to cut them to maximize the space!

Taken from the Modern Outdoor chair project and added a back. Then decided that I love the andorak style chair arms and thus the Andrmodern chair was born..

Modern Adirondack chairs
![](/sites/default/files/178A75AC-73D8-4ABF-9DA4-6958336F6DA3.jpeg)
I’ve been enjoying making the modern Adirondack chairs, only with reclaimed wood seats and backs. Finally made a love seat version.

Dining room buffet
Made a buffet table at the height I needed it based off the open to coffee table design of Ana's. It has a to that is hinged to open from the top so my little boys can't get into all the small items I need them to stay away from.
Farmhouse Dining table with oxidized finish (first project)
This was my first building project. All in all I'd say it was pretty easy. My husband had to help me on some parts because sometimes you just need more than 2 hands! I love my table and can't wait to start my next project. This was pretty large scale so I think I'll tackle something smaller next time.

Family Tree- Group project
![](/sites/default/files/Family%20Trees.jpg)
We wanted to a group painting class that seems to be really popular right now and offered all over the place. Instead of spending $30/person on a class we thought we would try doing something like this on our own! We had a great time and would do it again! Ours was smaller than the original in the tutorial because we wanted to make 4. Each person found an image online that they liked to make it more individualized.
Now that I've had a taste of working with wood, I'm ready for more! Ana, you're an inspiration! Thanks for the great site!

stained with special walnut with an old t-shirt
Used ultra white paint that we had leftover from painting our interior doors.
Birds were a random 50cent jar in the mismatched pain section at home depot. :)
Used toothpicks for the small writing.

Sliding Door Console

Built this one based on a few of the other brag posts. We are happy with how it turned out!
Headboard and barstools
![](/sites/default/files/20210922_094416.jpg)
I adapted the plans somewhat. The headboard is made from Pucte, a trpical hardwood with frame of Cedro, a Mahogany. The seats of the stools are also Cedro and legs of Caoba, another Mahogany. I live in Yucatan so these woods are available. The Pucte was repurposed old salvage free

Tryde End Tables with Shelf
My brother & sister-in-law requested some end tables with shelves. I used the same plan for the Tryde End Tables, but made them a little smaller and added a shelf.
