I had built your Farmhouse Potting Bench as a gift for my parents and they just recently finished it with a stain that coordinated with their deck and painting it with a pop of color that worked with some of their outdoor furniture.

In addition to my brag post regarding DVD stand (posted here: http://ana-white.com/2012/09/simpliest-shelf-stand) I would like to suggest you the project of TVset and other multimedia stand.
PS. Sorry, English is not my native language, but I hope you can understand my post. Blog link leads to russian language page.
Made a smaller version of the fire truck bed for our two boys. The youngest will move "downstairs" when he gets out of the crib. It was fun, but lots of work! It took me about 5 weeks of weekend/late evening work.
Thanks for the great plans and inspiration.
Custom kitchen island with a butcher block top. Hammered antique drawer pulls.
Followed the dimensions and most of the mounting options from the beginner plans and painted frame with White Chalk paint then stained the slats on bottom and table top with Red Oak stain.
I think it looks good adjusted the size to suit worked out well for me. - Ecm
I made a simple queen platform bed from the Hailey plan by omitting the term pieces. See more details at my blog post.
Our old kitchen table was a bargain buy from a nearby outlet store and while I hate to say it...you get what you pay for. This was my second project ever so I was pretty nervous about building a table. My first project was storage daybeds for my girls. They were a lot more forgiving than a table. This project took me approximately 2 weeks of working off and on but only because I'm a bit of a perfectionist and finishing it drove nuts. But it's finished and I am in love! The plans for the rustic table were modified to make a shorter version to fit out kitchen. The bench plans were kept the same but the pesky cross supports were omitted due to lack of functionality and difficulty of cutting angles. End length on tabletop is 6ft. That's the perfect size for the bench to fit under.
Needed a computer desk to work from home, decided to make this to match the coffee table I previously made.
Dad was an avid gardener. After he passed away we wanted to build something in memory of him for our garden. Thanks for the inspiration to build this potters bench.
This is the large modern porch swing, scaled down to 24" x 36" and made with 1x4 for the frame and 2x2 for the legs. It's put together with the Kreg jig, which I now use to build everything. I may add a photo of the bare bench, once the cat gets off it.

It looks wonderful! Cute kitty. Maybe you'll get a chance to sit on it eventually. ;)
This table is 78 in which is shorter than the plans. I think it turned out great!
Minwax 'dark walnut' supports and minwax 'natural' table and seats; Minwax helmsman polyurethane gloss. 45° angled all corners and quarter round routered all top edges. Countersank screws, and added a bolt here and there on the seat supports (because UNO is a full contact sport in our house...).
The table had 8 adults on it last weekend. Would be a tight squeeze for 8 to eat dinner, but visiting over sweet-tea was perfect.
Two adults on one side only is when the table wants to go opposite of gravity.
This was a fun project and my daughter loves her bed. She is the envy of all of her friends.
Great quick project, but painting on the other hand was very time consuming. This bed has one cost of latex Kills and 3 costs of Sherwin Williams interior eggshell.
To make the bed fit between the wall and window i had to shrink the stair width.
A new table for a new home for my son. Added hole and block for umbrella. Very satisfied with project and plans. Thanks Ana

I built this key locker from a jewelry armoire plan I found on TheDesignconfidential and the link is http://www.thedesignconfidential.com/2012/09/key-locker-aka-small-jewel…
It is a wonderful and simple design. Easy to build. Cost me abut $17 since I went for the S4S poplar wood for the frame and door. I used scrap hardwood flooring for the door face. The key is from Hobby Lobby at $2. All the rest including the knob, hinges, hooks, etc were gathering dust in my garage.

Ana the stool the locker is sitting on is one of my very first projects I got from your site. It definitely is the most useful and used.
This was our first project and I love how it turned out!
I made this for my boys and they LOVE it! I opted for a square top, since the flower would not have gone over well...Plus I found a square top for $1 at the Restore and who can pass that up, and the legs were free. The rest of the wood was from the Home Depot Cull bin or furring strips. The chairs didn't get rounded (no jig saw) and I didn't add a hole (not a big enough drill bit). But my boys love them and use them all the time!
Thanks Ana for such great plans!
