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 decided to take on the third bathroom renovation all by myself. No help from the husband. I knew that I wanted a rustic open faced vanity - so I modified some plans that I found here on Ana's site. I used the basic design of the Farmhouse Vanity and added in the spa splatting for the bottom shelf so I could add baskets to hold extra tp and towels, etc.
This was one of the easiest projects I've done and I'm so happy with how it turned out! Total time was an afternoon - and that included the staining and poly!
I built this to go with my outdoor sectional. It's perfect for storing the cushions and the gardening tools that I like to keep on the porch. It doubles as a table and extra seating in a pinch, so it's a great addition to the space.
I'd recommend either spray painting it or pre-painting the pieces- I wouldn't want to try and brush between all the slats.
My variation of the multiple plans / pictures I have seen.
I will be making another one this season, with an additional variation in mind to make the time it takes to make the whole thing less.

For the outdoor stuff, i just use an outdoor stain/sealer.. for indoor I stain it first, then use helmsman..
I had so much fun completing these patio chairs.
We love this table and made some small adjustments to fit our terraces

Thank you for sharing your amazing project, it looks so great!
This shelf was such fun to build. My two pugs, Lesterann (3 mos.) and Calvin (13 yrs.) needed a place to hang their stockings at Nana's house. As for the naughty and nice, Lesterann is a little monster right now so he basically is responsible for the naughty. Calvin, on the other hand, is a prince of a old man.
Santa filled those stockings and hung the boys' new sock monkey sweaters on the hooks and it held up quite nicely with no chance of falling.
After the holidays, I'll move the shelf to the kitchen to put my reminders on. Thanks, Ana, for this great plan!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Mudroom area by my front door. Perfect for removing shoes, hanging jackets, etc. For the top I used two old cabinets that were on their way to the trash. It was easy to build shelves between them. For the back I used beadboard from Home Depot. It was 1/4" thick and 4x8. The bench pulls out easily, because there is an outlet behind it, and an air register beneath it. (That's why I left the front toe-kick open.) The rail with hooks came pre-assembled from Home Deopt, but I had to paint it black.

Form and function! =D Love the black chalk paint with the globe and brown accents - striking modern old world look!
This nightstand was insprired by the Farmhouse Bedside Table. I was looking for ideas for a simple nightstand with a drawer and the Farmhouse Bedside Table was almost exactly the style I was looking for. I used solid walnut which accounts for a majority of the cost. Typically I would use motise and tennon joints for something like this but decided to try pocket hole joinery in an effort to save some time. Overall, it worked well with the exception of the top rails. When I attempted to screw the top rail to the leg, the screw split the leg likey because of the screw going in so close to the edge. Instead, I just glued and clamped the top rails.
One unique feature is a power strip mounted in the back. The drawer depth is reduced to make room for a 3 outlet power strip with 2 USB charging ports so that phone/tablets can be charged.
The plans for this headboard are great. Very easy to follow and the cut list is spot on. I used some choice pine from Lowe’s ($63) and then used the vinegar with steel wool mixture to age the wood. That’s where this piece is at right now. Trying to decide if I want to leave it or put a light satin clear coat.
Thank you for the plans!!
OK.....I added 2 more pics. I added 1 coat of Satin Clear Poly witch gave it a richer look.
Using the tall cake stand plan I found it doubles as a drink dispenser stand when not being used for cakes.
My favorite thing this Christmas was making handmade gifts. Mom's were the most fun. :) The first is the Cube dresser, using the plan from 2x4 console cubby shelf (turned upright), with wheels. Next are 2 recliner side tables, made from the 5 board bench plan, with added shelf at the bottom for books and magazines. The last is the 'trinket box' - which isn't really from a plan, just made up with 1x4 and 1x6 boards. We finished these to match her existing furniture, which we built for her earlier this year. Mom loved her gifts! Thanks Ana!

You did an excellent job! I bet she loved it! :)
I wanted to make a sturdy bed that was rustic and old looking but still kind of modern... I looked at google images and a photo of Ana's bed popped up. I started with new fir from Home Depot but wanted a good weathered look, so I spent extra time and effort on the distressing. It turned out just like I was hoping!

The light and dark variations in your finish make your project very unique! Nice work!

This was my first "big" project. I built it for Thanksgiving. I recently bought a home, and everyone wanted to have Thanksgiving at my new home I had no table, so I built one. Can't wait to start my next project. Love the site!
We used 2x6s on the sides so we wouldn't have a ledge on the side of the bed. Everything still lined up really well! We also used brackets to put the sides onto the headboard and footboard. It made it easier to put together and seems sturdier.

I thought about doing brackets too, but not sure how that would work w/the cleets on each side for the slats.
I just was looking for something simple with a top and bottom shelf with storage. Ended up coming out amazing! Very pleased! it only takes about a day of time, but because of all the stain and glaze coating it took over 24 hours.

Great build !!!! can you specify which plan you used and how you modified it ?
This was my second solo project. I built it for my mom's kitchen to replace her old kitchen table. I absolutely love how it turned out. It is big and functional. Come see how I built it on my blog.
Double trash can cabinet made of plywood. Included soft close hinge. Holds 2 13 gallon cans.

So much better than a regular garbage can! Thanks for sharing your version, it looks fabulous.
Built this bed for my 5 year old for Christmas. I planned on doing it alone but luckily my husband helped because it was much easier to put everything together with 2 people. I definitely recommend the Kreg Jig if you are going to be building this bed. The lumber for the bed was $190 with a 10% military discount at Blue then about another $100 for paint, primer, sand paper, screws, and hinges for the stairs. You could probably do it for less but we sprung for the expensive self tapping screws and I got a gallon of primer and a gallon of each paint color. It took me about a month to finish the bed working but between my twin 1 year olds, my husbands schedule, and making sure I wasn't to loud in the garage (we have a duplex and the garage is right by the neighbors room) I could only work about an hour a night.
This is my take on the Laundry basket dresser. I started with the idea based on many photos I found on this site, but made some updates/improvements (well they are improvements in my mind anyway). Please view the last picture that has text for explanations of the "features" of my design.
I did some quick drawings in Sketchup, and then did some work in the workshop. I don't have exacting plans on the exact measurements, but you'd probably need to tweak for the size basket you plan to use.
