This is a potting table I made for my daughter.

These chairs are fairly easy to make. The side boards were the hardest part.

My hubby made this for me this weekend! Blue is the accent color for our yellow and grey bedroom. It's beautiful and practical!

I followed the directions and made two of the same shelf -- using a expresso gel stain.  I love it in my bathroom!

Our son moved up to a big boy room and we made him the Fire Station bed. He LOVES it. Not quite ready for him to use it as a loft bed so he is sleeping on the bottom for now.

This is a Christmas gift for my granddaughters, and it was a huge hit! It is white pine 1x4's with 4 coats of polyurethane for a smooth finish.

Built using the plans as a starting point and built it bigger than the plans called for.. The deck is 10x10 and the playhouse is 6x10. I used pressure treated lumber for everything but the playhouse. I still need to paint the house and stain the deck, then put the roof on.. if it would stop raining.. Once i'm done staining the deck I can put the slide back on also. ''

Swings, monkey bars, and rings / trapeze was ordered from Amazon.

Our son is learning cello and we were told he needed a 14" chair for practice, so this plan looked perfect. 

Other than tweaking some of the dimensions as the plan didn't seem to quite work, the only other change I made was to use wooden dowels instead of screws to give it a cleaner finish. 

Seems stable enough for me to sit on.

We needed a new fire pit area for the back yard. Your Adirondack chair and side table designs were a perfect fit.

This is the first piece that I have built from your website. The plans were easy to follow. I had to change the dimensions to fit the console where we wanted so it made the parts list a little more time consuming to figure out with a few mishaps in the original plans. After that it was smooth sailing.

I tried to save money where I could so I created my own slides for the drawers rather than spending $100 for the slides. They turned out great. I also made the chalk paint with plaster of Paris since the cost of chalk paint is pretty high.

My wife and i were very pleased with the outcome. Thank you Ana for the great plans. With a little basic wood working knowledge and the proper tools, just about anyone could make this piece.

Built one for my niece, my daughter's is next!

This was my first BIG project. I was inspired by a console table from a blog Take the Side Street and the Ikea Hemnes Sofa table. I didn't use any plans, so just winged the whole project. I was a bit afraid taking on this project, so I used 89 cent utility boards (roughly 1'x4') that I found at Menard's. So I wouldn't feel bad if it turned out like crap or fell apart. Little did I know how wonderful it would look. I added parson legs to the bottom that I bought from the Home Depot and finished it off with a coat of Minwax Ployshades in Mission Oak.

I'm really excited about how it turned out and have less than $20 invested in the whole project by using the utility wood. This console table holds it all.

The table measurements are 48"x32 1/2"x11 1/2"

Modified to dimensions 23"H x 19.5"D x 27"W.

My interpretation of the printers cabinet. Needed something for my office that was deeper for my printer, 3D Printer and a few other items.
