I liked the style of this table and needed something for my kitchen that looked nice but not cheap. I had to shrink it to fit in my kitchen as my space is limited. I changed the top to have a little more finished look and even though I made it smaller than normal,  the size I have still fits 6 people. I think it came out fairly well and wanted to say thanks a million for some great ideas and plans. 

Made this for a friend of mine with the intention of doing the oxidized vinegar finish. Unfortunately, I didn't read the directions too well and ended up with an awful brassy red color. So I had to remove that (quite the task) and then stain. The end result is still something pretty rustic since the vinegar discolored the wood some. X's were tricky because my miter saw didn't cut that angle, but it worked out in the end.

I really enjoyed this project. The plans were very well done and easy to follow. I had to make some changes so that all 5 drawer faces had a functioning drawer, but still stuck pretty close to the plans otherwise. 

I don't know why they came out sideways My grandaughters are Minnie fanactics so I am building them each one for Valentines day. Thanks for the pattern and instructions!

I was inspired by Ana's plan for a reclaimed wood bed. I went through the wood in my garage and was able to make this bed in an afternoon and for $0!

Tool List: Drill and screws, jigsaw (or handsaw), orbital sander (or sandpaper), nail gun (or hammer and brad nails), miter saw (or handsaw), polyurethane and a paintbrush.

Material list: 2 wood pallets, 2 – 4×4 posts cut to 54″, 2x4s and 2x6s to make the bed platform (I have a double bed so the finished product is 53″x74″), 1 – 2×6 cut to 57″ to make the ledge on the headboard.

Built using 2x4 pressure treated lumber. Made two ottomans with one used as a corner piece. I made that one three inches taller to help keep cushions in place. I also made the sectional back legs taller for more back support. In doing so I had to add an extra cross piece in the sectional back to support the pillows. I love it!! 

This bed was fun to make and our son loves it!

Wine Rack

Material: Re-claimed wood

Specs: 32″ width x 5.25″ depth x 21″ height

Description: Two shelf wine rack.

I had an old pallet leaning up against my garage and decided to build a wine rack for a birthday gift.

This is a very simple project to tackle. I really liked the lettering on the pallet, so I wanted to make sure that was a feature in the finished product. I simply sealed the wood with water based poly to bring out the colors in the wood and to seal it.

If you are not a drinker it also makes a great spice rack!

Built this for my daughter to enjoy sitting around the fire pit roasting marshmallows on crisp fall evenings.

More difficult build then I'm used too. Modified it to fit a full mattress but I think it turned out great! It's a lot cheaper to build than most Murphy beds to purchase out there on the market. Enjoyed these plans. Thank you Ana!

We LOVE our Fancy Hall Tree! A little hard work and time, and now we have transformed our entry way with this piece. We debated for about a week if we wanted to buy the Kreg Jig before we started the project, we decided to give it a shot despite the hundred dollar price tag. IT IS LIFE CHANGING! We already cannot wait for another project to use it on.

I took the end table submitted and modified it for a console table from the same collection with a piece of reclaimed wood as the table top.  Please visit www.ourhomemadefamily.com for details on how I made it.

I own a small cabinet shop, in Missouri, we build several types of book cases fireplace surrounds and kitchen cabinets, would love to expand.

As a mom of 5 children, my entryway was always a mess. I decided that I was going to take things into my own hands and figure something out. I found Ana's site and I saw that Ana had this Entryway system and decided I was going to make it. So one day, I went to town and bought the material came home and started to build. I also decided, I wanted to dress the hutches up a bit, with bead board and a trim. I think that it turned out awesome. With 4 boys in the house I ended up using a heavy durable slide and cut my draws a little bit smaller. I added an entryway carpet with a rubber bottom on it in the drawers, to keep them cleaner. My children love them so much and it has helped us organize and keep the entryway cleaned.

Love this piece! Thanks Ana!!!

I used the 18" Doll Wardobe plans! I decided not to do the Murphy bed. I loved how it turned out and the plan was easy to follow! Looking forward to more DIY projects
