Hi Ana,

Thank you for the wonderful idea about storage shelves.

I made one with some modifications. Total lenght is 4 m, height 2 m and depth 50 cm. The columns and beams are from 40x60 mm, the shlves are 110x20 mm. Pine wood was used and the photo shows bare wood without protective layer. It will be covered with colourless protection.

Keep up the good work!

This Project took about a day and a half.  Hardware was from amazon for about $70 plus another $30 for additonal rollers since the set only comes with metal bar and 2 rollers.  Stained in Weathered oak.  Its built with poplar wood.  This was about $400 to build with all the hardware.

Loved the simplicity of this design. It turned out beautiful. My sectional is 6'X10'X10'.

Second project using completely reclaimed wood.  The plans were easy to follow and I made a few minor modifications.  I swapped out the two 2 X 4's inthe middle of the frame for 2 X 6's and added a center foot to each of them for center support.  I had a hard time finding larger shims and was about to make my own when I grabbed a few pieces of scrap 1 X 3 and started to make the design you see on the footboard. My wife like the look so much that I repeated it on the headboard.  Looking forward to making some nightstands that will match the look of the bed. The boards used to be nailed together as temporary fencing that is what created some of the color variation in the wood and I tried to create some sort of a pattern by alternating light and dark.

Snowman for the porch!

I found these posted on a blog a few months back but I forgot the blog that I saw them on. 

Entry way drop zone for shoes and backpacks. Made entirely from pallet wood. Made to the dimensions my daughter wanted. Inspired by some of the other Ana white plans I have done. Thank you Ana for the boost of confidence you sparked in me. - Jeff

I made this for a good friend of mine who just moved into a new house. I used all reclaimed wood and made my own stain for it. The legs are made from 100+ year old oak and the side aprons are from vintage walnut. The only wood that isn't vintage was the pine on top, I wanted a rustic look so I used pine boards that separated masonite boards and laid a towel on top and bumped it a few times with a hammer and dropped a few things. The boards weren't long enough for the table I cut some in half to make the table longer. I also added corner brackets to fit the look of the house.

Didn't want the yellow but the wife talked me into it. Looks fine thou. I used 2x 4 instead of the lighter wood. I like the heavy dutyness as I'm kind of heavy. Yes I used pressure treated lumber (I know cancer) But hey last longer.

I was only going to build the table, but after I found this chair and decided to make the 8 chair set. Great descriptions a d plans. 

This is a canopy bed I made for my niece for Christmas! I modified the plans and so it's a little bit different, I would do it differently next time as it was hard to get the bottom right. But it turned out cute, and she loves it, it's a size for a Barbie Doll.

This was my first build and it went super smoothly.  I added the suggested support underneath, since I know without a doubt that my daughter will try to sit on it at some point.

Over the course of a couple months, my husband and I created this beautiful poker table based heavily on the Benchmark Octagon Table plans found here. The farmhouse style base was essentially the same although the size was modified slightly to better accommodate our poker table top that was completely custom. We even created slide out cup holders that work perfectly.  So much wonderful inspiration from both here and Pinterest that gave us wood working virgins the confidence to tackle our first project together. 

Built for the boys to go with their new swingset. Advice: laminated cotton does not hold up well outside, so don't use it to cover the seats!

Needed storage for the twin storage beds I built and came across this plan. I just modified it a bit. Used shoe moulding to give the bins a locker door look. 

I couldn't believe how simple this console table was. I used my Kreg pocket hole jig to easily add the shelf and am so pleased with my results. Used white-washed pickling stain to hivevit this great color. 

We had a horrible time finding furniture in Mexico for our house and decided to build our own starting with these chairs for our roof top deck!
