Thanks for sharing. Added a smal table to match!

These are incredible. They look a little deeper, and would be good for vegetables. How deep are they?
Well, this is my second project and was built to replace the first one I did about 2 years ago.
Two summers ago I built the Modern Farm Table and, quite frankly, screwed it up. I rushed that job, not taking the time to be selective about my lumber and forgetting to heed the old axiom of "measure twice, cut once". In short, the table turned out 27" wide and the the table-top surface was as uneven as a highway's rumble strips. Yeah. I know. A sad showing on my part.
This project was a different story. I took my time; and by time I mean it took about 10 hours total, including 3 trips to Home Depot to buy things that I didn't take into consideration (like mineral spirits for brush clean up after polyurethane).
Anyway, this table is a mix between a regular Tryde Table and the Benchwright Table. I liked the thick, heavy look of the Benchwright Table's top, but did not want to sacrifice the ends' leg space by including the trestle.
So, this is pretty much a Tryde Table, with the faux-thick top of the Benchwright and 4" x 4" legs. I used Select Appearance Pine for the top boards. I did this more to ensure I got straight edges than for the surface finish quality. But I like the end result.
Dimensions: 74 1/4"L X 38.5"W X 30"H
Lumber: 4" X 4" legs, S4S 1" pine boards top, 2" X 4" aprons.
Finish: Red Mahogany
Cost: $160
Total time: 10 hours.

You should be proud of yourself for not only doing a wonderful job on this table but for trying again! I love Ana's site because it allows each of us to begin small and build (no pun intended) bigger and more complicated as we learn!
Hi there! I made a built-in desk for our long rectangular living room using a granite top on 4 cabinets... modified from a simple base cabinet plan. It was a blast to build & my family really enjoys it! :D
This was my husband's first furniture build and he really enjoyed it. The whole project took about three or four hours to build. He changed the top to a plank style with Douglas fir pine planks which I then beat up with a hammer and a screwdriver to look old. The top was then stained with five layers of Minwax Ipswich Pine and sealed with two coats of satin polyurethane. The base of the island was chalk painted, then distressed. I then took the Minwax furniture stain and wiped it on over the chalk paint and immediately wiped it off to age it and darken the chalk paint. I then sealed it with Rustoleum Chalked Matte Clear. We love our new kitchen island and it really fits in with our little cottage!
I used the Kendal extra wide dresser plans which were super easy to follow for this project. I wanted to add some of my own touches so I made the drawers with box joints, my first attempt at this. I also changed the drawer fronts and added my own scalloping at the bottom. The changing table frame on the top of the dresser was also added which is removable once we are out of diaper changing! I am using half moon aged brass pulls for the drawers once delivered. Overall I am happy with the way this turned out.
This was fun project! Changed up a couple of things, but am very proud of myself. I can't wait to see what my Grandkids think :)
My son is 10 year old and I decided to change his room. His bedroom is very small so I built a full size bed whith storage. I hung up bookholders on the wall too.
Wee are very happy how it turned out.
Thanks Ana!
We originally re-sized these plans smaller to make a worktable for my office. Once that was built and we realized that we actually could make a table, we decided to make the full sized version. It turned out beautifully! A couple of clients have actually asked if they could pay us to make them one! Thank you, Ana, for the plans. :-)
I used pallet wood on the top and regular 2x4's on the bottom section.
Had so much fun building this project for my moms birthday present.

So fun, well done! Your mom is going to love it, thanks for sharing.
We had a blast making this dollhouse for Christmas!
It was a pretty easy build. I was nervous about the angles at first but it ended up being easy. I think the hardest part was choosing colors!
We used very thin trim to make crown moulding and floor board trim too. I think that makes it look more "real". THis picture was before we installed the stairs... The worst part of the stairs was sanding all those stinking pieces! Otherwise it was a piece of cake!
For furniture I have used a lot of scrap 1x2 and 1x3 and kept it very basic and simple. For details and fun stuff, I have used the amazing blog MyFroggyStuff.blogspot.com. SHe takes items you were about to toss out and makes them into Barbie treasures. Truly amazing stuff!

What a great project! You did a beautiful job, and the finish is fab!

The finish on this looks excellent. How did you manage such an authentic worn look? Also, how did you attach and finish the mesh inserts? We have no use for this piece right now, but it looks so good that I just want to go start making one straight away.....!

After construction
step 1 - stain the whole cabinet and wait for it to dry
step 2 - brush on Elmers school glue all over the project and wait for it to get tacky ( look on youtube for crackle paint effect)
step 3 - Lightly paint on color
Step 4 - dry the project with a blow dryer and watch it crackle
step 5 - I used a orbital sander and just went crazy hitting it all over ripping and peeling the top coat of paint.
I attached the mesh with a staple gun I think on the next one I am going to use stained glass instead of the mess though.
We have two girls of drawing age so we made this one a double desk, so each of them could have there own paper roll. We used eye hole fastness on the top and elbow brackets on the bottom to secure to the wall.
Thank you Anna!! We have friends who are adopting and they were given a beautiful mosses basket. Your pattern allowed me to make this gift for them.
The rockers were a bit complicated but I pulled it off.
Pretty basic but fun to build
I was shocked at how easy this all came together! Hubby built the bunks, I made the bedding. Both mattresses, quilts and pillows came together in under 2 hours!!! I kept right on sewing and made a matching pillow for my daughter's bed, and a tote bag for myself!
I needed something to control the shoe situation by the front door. After looking at several Ana White plans, I knew the Spa Bench would be perfect. I modified it just a little, and you can get more details in my blog post.
I had so much fun completing these patio chairs.
We love this table and made some small adjustments to fit our terraces
