I made these two Adirondack chairs. I decided to put a deck stain on them (Cape Cod Gray and Pewter)

With my beadboard installed and the trim board for my hooks in place in my back entry I was ready to get building. I decided to tackle the shelf first since that would be easier to install without the bench in the way.

For my shelf design I planned it together with my bench so that I could cut everything but the bench top and face framing pieces from a single piece of plywood. Also, the width of my space is a little strange and the shelf couldn't be too deep because of my window location.

I think the shelf turned out cute and I can't wait to prime and paint it and add the coat hooks. I plan to do the finishing work at the same time as the bench so I need to build my bench first though.

Followed directions but altered the length of the bookshelf to fit tight space. Super easy to build, not as easy to put up. Recommend anxious and drilling into the backs of the bookshelf.

Cool project!  My wife liked it without the doors!

The sectional is based off the 2x4 outdoor sectional plans and the table is loosely based on the 4x4 truss beam table plans, although it's built out of leftover cedar decking boards and 2x4's. I made some additional adjustments to the sofa to keep the pillows in place and used the full 10' boards from the plan (and a few extra). Super happy with how it turned out!

This is a bed I built for my son. I thought the secret door with ladder up to his bed would be fun but as it turns out it scares him to go in there. So I have since added climbing rocks to the outside of the bed so he can climb up that way as well as just climb around. It's all made with pine and bead board. The drawers are huge and eliminates the need for any dresser.

When we found out we were expecting, my husband and I decided we wanted to build all the nursery furniture. The dresser/changing table was our first project before we moved on to a closet system and the barn bookshelf. We just have the crib and night stand to finish before our little cowgirl, Teyla, arrives in October.

We decided on using oak for the furniture. This was also our first attempt at drawers which means some of the drawer faces are not flush with the dresser front like we wanted. Overall the frame and drawer boxes went together very easily. The drawer installation was the trickiest part for us.

It's a little twist on Ana's Coat organizer. Turned out really useful and did not cost me anything since I ussed scrap wood. I wish I would build have built one for coats as well.

Being a newby to woodworking, I wasn't sure if I could tackle this build. I saw pictures on your website and decided to give it a try. However, my wife wanted drawers so I made the doors a little shorter in order to add the 4 drawers but keep the height at 36". Thanks for your inspiration. I'm getting more comfortable everyday.
 

I loved this bed from PB but couldn't see spending the $400 that they wanted for this bed that the little one will only be in a shortwhile. This was a fairly simple build with the finishing taking the longest. A little more skill with the jigsaw would have made the curves flow better but all in all it turned out very nice. Looking forward to more fun things to build!

I have limited counter space and needed something for additional storage but was also limited on space. After looking at pre-made kitchen hutchs running from 1,200 to 3,000 dollars and never really finding anything I truly liked. I decided to find some plans to build my own to fit my need and space. I came across Ana's Chick Brooding Cabinet. I really liked the style and it was something that could be easily modified. It has really come in handy!!

We needed a server that would store our china and also display and store our wine.  I looked online for months and finally found the perfect plan.  This fits in well with our modern rustic dining room decor.

Finished look with table.

I used the barn wood frame plans to make these 33in square pine frames (24 inch by 24 inch interior). I added a 90 degree routered space on the inside lip of the frame so that my acrylic, mat and picture had a nice place to sit on the backside. I also added some left over trim to the inside of the 1x2. With a little hammered silver spray paint with distressed white on top, mats cut with my fabric cutting wheel from Hobby Lobby, and my vacation pics of our kids on engineer prints from Staples, I am really happy with these! (FYI prints are NOT grainy! I have tried this before with a regular camera and it didn't look right. The bigger the jpeg and more megapixels the better)

These benches and table are a fun blend of rustic wood, fresh colors, simple clean lines, and a touch of industrial gabion. They are made from reclaimed pallet wood, a metal storage shelving unit that’s no longer needed, and a material that’s locally abundant – beach pebbles.

Finish with non-toxic wood finishes. Check out the step by step tutorial, with detailed plans!http://www.apieceofrainbow.com/diy-pallet-wood-bench-and-gabion-table/
