Farmhouse Bedside Tables with 2x4 Legs

After seeing how simple PB furniture looked and how much it cost it seemed it was time to start making my own. This was my first project a pair of night stands. Farmhouse bedside table with some changes made.

Started with simple small trestle desk idea. Decided to edge glue the top. Finished with poly and paste wax. Didn’t turn out too bad for the first project.

The two tone finish looks awesome, can't wait to see what you build next! Way to go:)
My little two year old is sleeping on this right now, hehe, which is so funny to see his little body take up only 1 square foot of it.
We got a queen mattress from a family member and I had been wanting to build this bed for a while so what better excuse. I had a TON of 1x3's from other projects so used those as slats instead of 1x6's as in the plan. I also used some other scraps up so my headboard part is shorter than in the plan which I also was fine with. It barely fits in his little 10 x 10 starter home room, but I am still pretty proud of it.

I am a beginner and I understand what to do until this point. I am confused by this. Can it be explained in another way: Thanks.
Construct the frame as shown, leaving a 3 1/2' overhand on the headboard end to secure the frame to the headboard. Predrill to at least 4 holes to in this overhang to ease attatching to the headboard.
Had a bunch of scrap wood laying around from deconstructed and unused pallets. Great idea for a table top. NOTE: Table top will be uneven because of different widths and thicknesses of pallet scraps. Use a planer if you have access.
Modified console plans. Used my router to make the doors look fancy. This was a fun build! Thanks for great plans.
I adapted the plan for the Shoe Rack Bench to give it multiple levels and allow it to serve as an entryway table in addition to a shoe rack. I used 2 x 10's for the project.
I made two smaller versions of the Simplest Armoire for either side of my fireplace.
This beautiful table measures a little over 8ft x 3ft and made out of oak plywood and pine.
Instead of using individual slats for the main surface as in the building plans, I decided on one large 8ft x 3ft piece of oak plywood. I encased it in 2 inch pine and routed the top edge with a 1/4" round over bit.
I made my cabinet slightly taller and wider. I also made taller doors to hide our massive DVD collection! I used faux metal ceiling tiles as the panels on the doors and on the inside top part.
I have bookmarked these plans for my front porch a year ago. Finally last Saturday I decided to finish.
I had to change the chair dimensions to fit 24" x 24" cushion, and the accent table leg height from 13 1/2" to 20".
I also forgot sanding the surface too fine makes staining so hard and fine sawdust is not good to be around.
I combined the features I liked from both of these. I was able to snag some wood table tops at auction ($5.00 ea) that I painted to look like stone.

Superb job, the top looks super cool! Thank you for sharing.

I used scraps, so these drawer organizers cost me nothing and took very little time. I painted the tops to match my cabinets, just because I could.
Used plans from Ana White's Farmhouse Table plans and made the table a bit smaller to fit the space available in the kitchen. Used Ana's Rustic X-bench plans for the seating.
We're building a new house. Instead of paying hundreds to thousands on a Pottery Barn vanity I built this one! I love how it turned out!

We are remodeling our small bathroom. I really like what you built? Would you share any plans you have in how you made it?
After a laundry area refresh, I was looking for a slim utility cart to fit between the washer and dryer. I couldn't find anything that fit the space appropriately, so after finding the Easiest Industrial Cart plan, I decided to make one for my space. I built it using a 2x6x10 board and aluminum angle.

This is so great, love the simplicity and look!
I modified the plans to make the top even with the counter, and added a cutting board to the top. The cutting board top is great for cutting veggies, then scooping the scraps right into the can. I also opted for the bead board instead of the raised panel on the door, and finished the door with quarter round to give it a more finished look. Finally I used trim on the base; I had to rip the trim to width to fit my 1x3 on the bottom.

Wow. I'm a little late, but this is the nicest trash cabinet I've ever seen. Nice work!
I built this apothecary style coffee table with a few modifications. I wanted the drawer to actually be attached to the table itself, so I attached two 1x3s (one on the front and one on the back) from the bottom inside of one side to the other, if that makes sense. I also attached a 1x3 to the bottom inside of each side vertically between the other added 1x3s for extra drawer support. I used my kreg jig for all of this. I then added drawer slides. I attached the casters to the new added bottom frame where the vertical and horizontal 2x3s meet and viola...an apothecary coffee table with a sliding drawer. I also added a planked back using some extra 1x4s I had in the shop. I wish I had taken a picture of the back, but I forgot! I am horrible at remembering to photograph all my projects, and this table has since gone on to be with a happy home!
Loved this and after some searching for husky legs, I ended up using fence post from Lowes. They were fat and just perfect as the leg options in town were so thin and weak looking.
100% Cedar construction. Cost around $350 all inclusive. Took me close to 20 hours of work in my garage. The wife loves it. And we brag about it all the time. So I figured this contest is perfect 👌😊.

Is there any plans available for this design? I would love to build one of these tables.
This was an Ana White plan. My first outside project. Late husband left me with lots of tools so decided I’d teach myself woodworking. Thanks Ana White for the super easy plans. I tweaked them a little especially the outside look. I put a single fold down door for the pullout tray. Put a hinged ladder for easy clean out attached to clean out tray.

Thank you for sharing, I'm sorry for your loss and happy you were able to pick up your late husbands tools and build.
