Twin Farmhouse Bed with Trundle
![](/sites/default/files/WP_20150905_004.jpeg)
Took the farmhouse plan and added a Trundle. Was initially going to build two farmhouse beds for my two girls, but thought adding the Trundle would free up some much needed floor space. The girls love it!

Hi friends!
Jen Woodhouse here from The House of Wood.
Take a good look at this round marble side table. Would you guess that isn’t real marble? It’s contact paper! Yep. It’s true. We’ve been wanting to put a table here between our sofas for months now, so I’m thrilled to have this project finally crossed off the list. This sleek side table cost about $50 to make!
I built this table in about 3 hours – the super simple yet sleek, modern design is beginner-friendly so if you’re wanting to tackle your first project, this is a great one for you.
Be sure to tag me @jenwoodhouse if you share photos of your build on social media. I'd love to see it!
You can get all the details for this build on my website jenwoodhouse.com.

Thank you so much for your help, I am learning a lot at least. I for one have learned a lot from this.
My husband and I had so much fun building this for our ladies! We had some material leftover from the build of our house so we made a few adjustments. I’ve included progress pics because we found others very helpful during our build. We also added hardware wire and brick at the base to predator proof (not pictured).
This table was quite simple to build. The hard part was the sanding and the painting/staining. It is sturdy. I also like that I can sand or touch up stain if it is ever damaged. Most store bought tables don't have that ability since the table top is usually a veneer.

Your paint job for the legs is awesome. I went to your blog to look at the whole process. Great work. The colors for the legs and top go together beautifully. Wonderfjul job! :) J

Thanks! I really didn't know if all the colors were necessary or if it would turn out how I pictured it in my head, but I just posted a close up pic of the finished leg and hints of the colors show. It is as close to I could get to weathered boards without waiting years to make them.

I added the plans to my blog, the link is above.
We needed a Dining table to fit our growing family and our friends. Combined ideas from the iTable, Farmhouse and Big Ur table plans. Used 8ft boards so with the breadboards it measures roughly 8ft 7in long. Rustoleum Kona stain. Only took the weekend to build. Thanks Ana!
Our fireplace wall was quite plain to say the least. We thought about stone, tile but then ended up doing a simple and inexpensive board and batten wall. This is a simple DIY project, we kinda made up the pattern as we went.

2 modern outdoor chairs and and a matching ottoman.
I moved from a big apartment to a small house and I needed more horizontal space. Shelves look great in use and are very stable. All the newbie mistakes in picking wood, cutting and sanding fade into the background.
What did I learn? - This is one time when getting the nice dressed lumber is worth it since they laminate better. I spent a lot of (useless) time applying wood filler trying to get the gaps invisible. - Get the scraps out of the way ASAP so I don't keep confusing them with the cut pieces. - It's hard to set the miter saw to the "same" 10 degrees more than once since its not a preset on the miter saw, so do all the angled cuts at the same time. -For some reason, one shelf was shorter than the rest.
Used the plans to make a desk for my girls!
I based this off of the farmhouse media console plans, but made a lot of changes with dimensions, doors, etc. Originally we wanted the doors to slide sideways instead of opening outwards... but we couldn't figure out how to do that and still make it look nice! Very easy to build. I am happy with the end product!
We really wanted a narrow console tabtabltabtable for this space. This was perfect! Modified the original plans to add to the width and height so it is counter height. We added a butcher block top to match our existing kitchen cabinets. I used aluminum decor inserts from Home Depot for the doors. Thank you Ana for your amazing plans!
I followed your plan for my 16 inches garage shelves and I absolutely love it. Tons of storage and easy to customize. Each 8 foot shelves is now costing $120 in material - which is still a great deal! Thank you @Anawhite 🙏
These beds were the very first thing my hubby and I ever built! We had an old hand saw with a dull blade and a hammer and nails! It took us 7 full Saturdays to complete these beds and that includes all of the finish work. We had a great time and a not so great time building these beds but the memories we built together are priceless! We are so proud of the blood, sweat and tears that went into these beds! We love you Ana, well, mostly I love you! You changed my life and I am officially addicted to building! If you have time, check out my very long but very entertaining post about building these beds!

Do you have instructions on the corner unit? We like this one better than the others on the site.

These are so cute! Where is the link for the plans on these beds? They would be perfect for my daughters' room!
In need of a new coffee table and having a budget lower than what would allow for similar looking store bought tables, I decided to build a variation of the Rustic X coffee table. I used the modified plans by Pete Sveen which included the bread boards on the table top. We used a solution of white vinegar and steel wool to age the wood and used a clear furniture wax to finish it.
This grill table took a weekend to build. The base is made of cedar and top is concrete. More information on how to build this table is available on my blog.
This project was a great learning experience and turned out fantastic. The mitered/beveled cuts were a bit tricky for me, It took me a while to understand how to use my miter saw to make the cuts correctly. Other than that, the building plans were clear and easy to follow. Cara, an author at Inspired Workshop, posted the plans at the following link: https://theinspiredworkshop.com/diy-slim-truss-console-table/

We needed some additional seating in the backyard so I built 6 Adirondack chairs for the fire pit and the bench using the plans that you have shared on Facebook. They turned out really nice and so far they have been a big hit!!
Thanks!!
I really needed an entry way system that was easy to corral all of my 3 boys shoes/coats/crap, etc. . . and I LOVED this plan! I messed up on the frame, so just left it off, and decided that I didn't need the back either. I painted little chalkboards on the side of each boys cubby.
I'm fairly certain that this isn't made perfectly, but it's perfect for us! This was my 2nd project and I'm really super psyched about it!
This was made as a present my mom's birthday. I found a good sized mirror at the thrift shop which was perfect for the project. I adhered it to some plywood, added trim around it, bulked up the top and bottom with multiple layers and types of trim and added some crown molding to the top. The finish is "A Day at the Jewellers" by Valspar with a Red Mahogany stain/glaze over top.
Project was a bit difficult but extremely rewarding when completed!! I followed Ana White's advice......"take a break and always finish your project!!!"
