New dining room with a board and batten, farmhouse table and six parson chairs.
Thanks Ana!

I followed the plans exactly except I used 4X4's for the "footboard' legs. I added molding to all the feet. I also added screw in fence top posts to the footboard legs. I had a small blemish I wanted to hide on the headboard, so I added wooden appliques to cover the mark.

To make the bed easy to move and store, I bought bed rail fasteners from this site http://www.wwhardware.com/wood-technology-bed-fittings-wt8056.

This design came from Ana's website. My daughter Alex asked me for a shelf to hold all her "stuff". She's a typical girl... lots of "stuff". I was able to snap a picture before she started to fill it all up!

Here is my Providence Table made from scrap wood we had left from building our deck. I am not thrilled that it is made out of pressure treated wood but it is what it is. I used 2x6 mixed in with 2x10's for the top, 4x4's for the legs and used a 1/4 router bit for all the edges.

This is my first furniture build!!! I needed a narrow cabinet (from the wall) and found the plans on your site from Shanty2Chic. I LOVE this cabinet and I LOVE the Shanty girls along with you Ana! I finally put the doors on after I found the handles at a restoration store. I needed to make something 42.5" wide to fit under the mirror so I adjusted the length & height measurements of the original cabinet. This cabinet is 42.5W x 43H x 13D.

We have 3 kids and so I wanted them to each have their own place to cut down on arguments. I also chose to make this just a water table because of how close it is to the back door. I'd rather them not bring in a ton of sand each day. Because I wanted to be able to keep the lids on top when they weren't in use, we separated the bin areas so the lids can snap shut. We also made it a few inches taller to fit the stools underneath. It was a simple build, and didn't cost much more than a big box store small plastic sand and water table. Also I found those bins (same brand and size as in original plans) at Walmart with a white lid (which I preferred to the blue) for under $5 each.

King bed. Easy to build. I love it. - 

So happy to finally get around to this build. Super easy, though I found I am not that skilled with cove moulding...nothing a little wood putty couldn't hide.

I was given an old window that was going into the trash from an old house in Key West that was being remodeled and decided I wanted to use the window as a door on a cabinet. These plans were very thorough and easy to follow. I modified the measurements to fit the window and am really happy with how it turned out. I added some trim to the top and bottom and used beadboard for the back to fancy it up a bit. I painted it in Sea Mist by Behr and distressed it by hand. This is my first post on this site. Thanks, Ana, for making this possible for me!

My husband built these bunkbeds for my daughter's 5th birthday. She loves it!! 

Table mad using the Rustic Table plans.

We wanted a bright and colorful dresser for the baby's room, and one that would match the Will Ruocco dinosaur prints that we purchased for the walls (http://etsy.me/PJ1yOs). This project spread out over many weekends but we were very happy with the results. We choose to go with legs instead of wheels, and made them tall enough that the Roomba would have clearance to get under. For the design, we used a combination of the plans here and a similar plan from The Design Confidential website.

Used MDF for the bases since we  painted them. I didn't do the interior trim on the bases as the plan says, because I felt they constricted the size of the shelves usability. Top was made with 3/4" Birch plywood. Simply routered the edge to have a curve then stained.
