I recently made the end table and console table from the "Rustic X" collection and those were my very first wood projects that I have EVER done. I think I am addicted now! I have had NO experience in working miter saws, kreg jigs and barely drills before this. If I can do it, anyone can do it :)

My husband and I made this table over a weekend and I am very excited about how it turned out. I was inspired by the color and size (and chairs!) of Sawgrasshomegirl "weathered grey fancy x farmhouse table with extensions" and I used the classic minwax stain. Thank you so much to Anna White and Sawgrasshomegirl for their plans, ideas, and inspiration!

Followed the plan exactly, with the exception of the stain. I mixed a walnut and rosewood stain to give it a little more warmth/red.

This was so easy to make and it's so sturdy and beautiful. Rough cut cedar using 3" exterior decking screws and wood glue. Had a blast making it with my wife. 

My husband recently designed and built our daughter's crib. After looking online and measuring another crib to make sure he had the rail spacing just right he came up with a plan and built it over a few weekends. He also built the changing station and will later build an armoire for her room as well.

We had some additional kids coming over and I needed to build them quickly.

We love this desk and customized the heck outta it.

This is our version of the potting table all made with free materials. We love it!!!

As the Superkids are getting older, I'm slowing trying to reclaim neglected areas of our home and make them a bit more stream lined and organized.
(I love organization! It is another true passion of mine.)
Anyway, while Stumbling I ventured upon the site Ana-White.com loaded with FREE easy furniture plans. Upon seeing a laundry storage option, my heart fell for a clean and crisp laundry basket sorter.

Previously, in my laundry area was this chrome rolling cart which housed my mismatched laundry baskets and other miscellaneous items. It was sturdy and served it purpose.

Now, I have all beautiful white baskets all lined up ready to sort all my laundry. Thank you to Superman who surprised me on Father's Day by cutting all the pieces for me so we could get it all screwed together. I love it!

- Purchased 6 laundry baskets at Wal-Mart @ $2.75 each.
- Scrap Melamine in white left over from another project.
- Left over drywall screws.
- Some light weight Spackle.
- 1 small bottle of craft paint from Hobby Lobby on sale after the holidays for 19 cents.

Built this for our living room. It's strong enough to withstand the daily rigors of a 4 and 5 year old. I built this last year, and have done several more since then. 

I built the table and bench with the plans on this site and it turned out great.  My finace stained the top with a miniwax stain and spray painted the bases white and distressed them.  Also applied polyurethane to the stained tops.  Probably have $100 invested in this project.

I feel in love with these plans as soon as I saw them, but didn't have front loading washer at the time. So...I talked hubby into buying me a new house, which meant I had to have new washer and dryer, now I have my pedestal..and I LOVE it. It was soo easy to build. The hard part was getting heavy washer on it, thankfully hubby and teenage son are strong!

Apothecary Media Console Table. No modifications to plans.

So I LOVE this mantle. I totally can't take any credit for this project. My sweet hubby built this for me for out anniversary to go around a gas heater in our living room that I just couldn't stand to look at anymore. We recently purchased our home and inherited an old, not-so-attractive, gas heater. I couldn't stand it any longer, I wanted something to go around it to decorate ;) So here is what we have! I LOVE IT!!!
