My husband and I recently bought our first home right outside of Austin, Texas. One of my favorite features of the house were the beautiful bay windows in the kitchen. I wanted to have a table that accented the windows and created a centerpiece in the kitchen. I stumbled upon this blog, found the Farmhouse Table, and decided I was going to build this table! With the help of my dad, I was able to complete my first wood-working project, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the way it turned out!

I was wondering if this table was white? I cant tell by the lighting, but I was looking to make this table for myself stained white. Yours is the first I've seen that looks white, if so could you tell me the color of the stain? Thanks the table is beautiful!
This chair is for my son and is a first build. The plans were super easy to follow and the whole thing went very smoothly. I used my jigsaw to round off the top edges just a bit and I really like how it turned out. Thanks for the free plans!
I have a gambrel style barn roof in the house I built. Space is tight and the double pitch of the roof made for having to get clever. Saw the plans for grandy sliding door console got out the graph paper and went to work. There were lots of cuts and had to rip some wood with a table saw but was not terribly difficult just time consuming.
My husband has been hounding me to build him a bookshelf for his office. I actually used wood that I already had in my garage. The next time I build it, I will follow it exactly... I used plywood on the shelves and planks on the back... next time, I will do the opposite, but I really love it!!

The brackets add that farmhouse industrial feel, great job!
Great Plan from Tommy and Ellie Farmhouse Table. Have built 3 for family members for holiday gifts. I thought I found his plans from on here but don't remember where. So all I do to refer back is google tommy and Ellie Farmhouse table.
This was my Christmas present for my wife for 2014. Took about two days for me and my brother, with another 4 hours of staining and assembly. Could have been done quicker, but we took our time and enjoyed it! I have a good knowledge of tools, as does my brother, but I haven't done a woodworking project since Junior High School.
All in all, it was great and the result is perfect. I highly recommend using a pocket hole for the headboard attachment if doing the plywood - I didn't use one and it was tricky . You can't see the plywood because I decieded to add slats to the headboard and footboard in the end (wanted to stain the wood, not paint it as planned originally).
I used the idea of the Farmhouse Table and Coffee Table to build this table and benches. I used simple whitewood for the table because it's cheap. This table doesn't take long to build, only a few hours. But this time I used oil-based stain and had to swap out a few boards because they were warped so it took longer than expected.

love it great patio table. what are the dimensions, looks great for 4 people
I could have sworn this project was inspired by a stool I saw on here but I just spent way too long trying to find it. I wanted these to match our bed frame, which is really tall combined with our mattress. We needed stools that could be comfortably stood on with two feet, but could also slide under the bed when not in use. This was my first "finished" DIY project besides a dog house I made from plans from Lowe's. This was the first time I planned it and created it myself. They are very sturdy and look like they came with the set. I am very happy with them. I took my time on them because I was doing a lot of learning and wanted to get it right. I distressed the wood with chisels, files and carving knives.
Loved this project! We had an old headboard so my wife came up with the idea to cut off the top posts and use them as legs.
These are my second ever project. The plans were really clear to follow so thank you for sharing them. The spacing between the seat and back slabs is a bit less than what it says in the plan because I live in the UK and the dimensions I could find were a bit different. Overall assembly didn't take too long, maybe 10-15 hours for both. Finishing seemed to take ages between filling the screw holes, sanding etc. Really happy with the end result!
Love how this rustic buffet / console table turned out! It was made as a companion piece for a Farmhouse - style table. Modified to be shorter (64"), and made without the decorative hardware or the "X" detailing from the original plan.
Modified the dimensions to 13 inches deep, 40 inches wide and a lower clearance of 4 inches to accommodate a vent diverter for an exsisting heat vent.
I used Maple Plywood (3/4 inch) for the bench, and 1/2 inch for the back (to allow maximum seating depth on the bench). The paint was leftover Valspar reserve paint from a recent bathroom project... and the paint dipped baskets were found at a local store called "the christmas tree shops" for under 25 dollars for both!
The project came in at just under $150 - well below our budget if we had purchased something in store. It was mounted to the wall for safety, as we have a dare devil toddler!
Thanks for the free plans. I did have to make modifications for the doors. i hid the hinges to give it a clean look. i used cedar for the trim and Plywood Siding Panel T1-11 4 IN OC (Common: 19/32 in. x 4 ft. x 8 ft.; Actual: 0.563 in. x 48 in. x 96 in.) for the doors. i used a metal flashing for the roof so it will vent.
Desk made with Farmhouse Desk modified with 2x6 top
Made this for our daughter's American Girl doll for Christmas. The mattress is a basic box pillow, made out of the cheapest bleached muslin from Joann, and stuffed with polyfill. I had to make a couple before I got it right. It needed to be a little longer and wider than the dimensions of the bed to fill the space all the way. It's been a while since I made them, but I'm pretty sure I cut the box corners at 2" and added an inch to the width and length of the actual bed measurements, plus a 1/2" seam allowance on each side. It makes for a feather bed look. The coverlet is 2 pieces of broadcloth sewn right sides together (leaving an opening to turn) and then turned right side out. Then I sewed trim in rows down the front. The blanket at the foot of the bed is furry minky fabric from Joann. It was really fun to build this bed and design the bedding. Thanks for the plans! My daughter loved this!
I changed the dimensions to fit the entire width of my framed pea gravel patio and stenciled a design on the table top.
This was a super easy, super simple project that took me about an hour and a half and was essentially free! Had I not had the blower fan given to me, I'd have used the leaf blower we have that has barely ever been used.
This is my 2nd project (first was the open shelves), but my first "bigger" project. Lovethe plans, the X crosses were tricky with just a circular saw. I am investing in a miter and looking to get into some tougher projects as I just purchased a home.
We just did a little stain to keep that natural wood look.
This is an adaption of the shoe shrine shelves. Since I didn't have a closet or other room than the bedroom to put these, I put them on their side. I modeled these off the shoe shrine shelves.
Each cubby is 11 3/4 deep x 8 x8 for the long version. The 2nd version I made was only 48 inches wide and did not divide well so I simply left the center cubby wider. I also made the 48" version to have different height shelves for purses in the middle and flats on the bottom.
I basically flipped the shoe shrine's on their sides and added LED lights. This also inspired a tall version for a cubby we had upstairs.
I used a panel saw to cut the plywood and then assembled with a Kreg pocket hole jig for horizontal pieces and biscuits for the top and the dividers. I did not want to fill the holes or I would have used Kreg instead of the biscuits.
I used 3/4" paint grade plywood and a 1/4inch back panel.
LED lights came from LED wholesalers on amazon. This step requires electrical knowledge! Not much more than a wiring a light but do not attempt if you are not qualifed to do so. LED strings required a fine tip soldering iron, wire and heat shrink.

Great job! Your closet now looks like a fancy shoe boutique!

The LED's came after we designed them. I was like there is no light where these are going and its hard to see inside the cubbies. This is true for the bottom cubies which are only 5 inches tall. So for 30 bucks a cabinet it was a quick and easy addition that really made them pop. Only downside is it can make the room look like you are in Nordstom's :) so she doesn't leave the lights on regularly.

Very nicely done. Do you mind telling me more about which particular LED product you used and the process to wire them in? Did you mill out any part of the cabinet to set the lights? How are they activated? Thanks in advance. You can also email me at [email protected]. Much appreciated!
