Rustic X end table
I love this site. We needed new furniture in are house and didn't want to spend a bunch of money. Finding the Rustic x plans was a life saver.

I found these on a Pinterest post. I made them for my girls and they absolutely love them! A place to sleep and play. All the kids that come over ask their parents for one.
A little bedroom oasis for my little ladies. ☺️
I love my new sofa! It is ten times more comfy than our old one. We live on an island and it was definitely cheaper to build my own sofa than to ship one in and pay duty on it. Thank you Ana for making this possible! Never thought I'd be building my own sofa, but we are so thankful for it. We even threw together our own little ottoman/toy box to go along with it from scraps...added bonus!

this is so amazing! We go through so many sofas, mainly because we buy used, and you never know if they are going to last. This one looks really sturdy, and it could be recovered if the fabric got old, or you just wanted to update. Definitely considering this before we buy another one. And the storage hidden inside makes it even more desirable!! Love the fabric you chose as well.
It took a long time to compile all if the parts for these shelves. I searched the Internet for affordable cast iron castors. I ordered all of the black plumbing fixtures from a local hardware store. I bought 2, 16 foot 2x12's and cut them up, sanded them and stained them.

Can you please share the step-by-step build for this bookshelves? It looks great!
I built this for my grandkids. It took me several weekends to complete to this point. I made a few changes from the original and still have the drawers to complete but overall its about finished.

I love how bright and vibrant you made this! It looks absolutely beautiful! I'm working on a bunk bed for my two young daughters now and I liked seeing how you tweaked the plans a bit- I'm doing something similar. Thanks for sharing!
Used Redwood and Kona colored stain. This is my first wood project and Ana really inspired me in being able to complete this. Thank You Ana all the way from California! The Love Seat was easy to modify from the original 3 seat plan.

Hi this looks great! I was wondering where you purchased your cushions?

hard to believe, we found them on the Big Lots website...$40 a set back and cushion. We looked everywhere for an affordable option. These look great and are really comfortable..!thanks for the compliment : )

We badly needed a new kitchen table since ours has been completely destroyed over the years. Not a bad table, but too "smooth and perfect" for our lifestyle. I wanted something darker a lot more rustic that would not HIGHLIGHT nicks and scratches so badly.
I fell in love with a table at World Market, but it was the wrong size. It's called the Napa Gathering Collection. It comes in either a counter-height 3' x 3' table or a standard height 3' x 5' table. Shorter table is too long for the kitchen and the counter-height one was too small. *sigh* Here's a photo of the set. LOVE this!!!! So upset it's so small. World Market photo below makes it appear a lot more red than it is.
Anyway, it's made out of Acacia wood, so it was massively heavy and strong. I loved it so much that I bought the four gathering chairs and spent over a month trying to get Acacia wood without spending a fortune. No luck. So I decided the most similar table here on Ana's site was the Tryde coffee table.
I researched different hardwoods, but was so nervous to spend that much money that I decided my first kitchen table would be a rough draft with super cheap wood. LOL If I love it then I didn't spend a lot. If I don't love it, I will learn from it and can build it again someday with more expensive hardwood like maple.
I used the 2x8 hemlock for the tabletop, hemlock 4x4 legs and finished hemlock 1x4's everywhere else. I used cheap 2x2 studs for the support structure underneath. This table was almost exclusively built using Kreg joins, with only a few exceptions where necessary. No visible screw holes to fill ANYWHERE! Yay! LOVE my Kreg Jig!
Lots of sanding, Benite wood conditioner, red-ish dye, dark chestnut stain and three coats of poly later... and I moved it into my kitchen this morning! So excited!!! I love how it turned out!

I am in the exact same boat as you. We badly need a new kitchen table, but I have not been able to find what I want in my price range. Therefore I am prepping to build a new kitchen table this weekend!

Wow, I love the table! I very impressed. You captured that robust rustic look that I have always liked. Its one of those tables that makes you wonder what stories have played out on and around it. You did awesome and thanks so much for sharing it. I am certain that I am not the only one truly inspired by your creative and can do spirit. You go girl! Can't wait to copy this and whatever you do next. Please don't stop and please keep sharing. You are just awesome. Wonder what might happen if someone gave you a welder too? Take care and thanks again!

Tryde Counter-height Kitchen Table is exactly what I need - want - gotta have it - can anyone help me out with the how to plans? diminsions?! Something?!
I am so happy about how this headboard turned out. It is exactly what I have always wanted. I am so excited that it is sooooo much cheaper than buying the one from Pottery Barn. I would never have been able to afford that one. This one only cost me about $50 for the wood, and then I was able to make an end table and a picture frame from the leftover scraps!
Built this in an afternoon with scraps left from other projects! Using it at at work on my desk. Added 1/4" plywood to base to close up drawer space. Felt strips on bottom of drawer makes the drawer slide out very nicely.
I made this bench to go along with the matching table. I also made a video of me making on youtube: https://youtu.be/B-5KKcPxM24
We added a nail head trim after
I had a empty space that needed something and this was an expensive fun way to fill it.
The table assembly was Inspired by farm table and workbench plans. It was built from construction grade untreated 4x4 and 2x6 and assembled using Kreg pocket screws and glue. Finish is semi-transparent wood stain. Rather heavy, the table have locking wheels to help move it. The lower shelf is used to store accessories.
The small kamado is just the right size for two people. I added a large ceramic tile under the firebox plus a small inlay next to the grill. That was the top of a small patio table. A few hooks were added as a final touch.
We built it last year; it gets a lot of use as a grill, smoker, bread and pizza oven.
We are very satisfied with the outcome. Many thanks for the plans and inspiration.

Your grill is very beautiful, but I prefer cooking in the kitchen, I will explain why, I recently read a lot of Kitchenotic.com here, what connects me and the kitchen most of all is the answers to my any questions, no matter how stupid they are and the answers were always correct
My wife had been wanting a buy a coffee bar for our dining room so we could declutter the kitchen. I came across the plans for this on Ana’s site and made some slight modifications to fit our space and fridge. It turned out incredible! Friends and family say it’s the best piece I’ve made. Thank you Ana for the plans!

It fits your space perfectly and looks super functional at the same time! Thank you for sharing:)
Farmhouse style doll bed, modified width one less slat
Seeing your planked wood sideboard clicked for us and the cabinet we'd been looking for. We wanted rustic and I chose to make it around a plywood casing instead of using the plans due to the poor strength of the pallet wood. Most of the time was used in deconstructing and cleaning the 40+ year old pallets. Also our space called for a smaller unit. It's used as our coffee cabinet. Since I had a basic structure already in the plywood I was able to be creative in how I used the scraps of pallet wood.
Started with an empty wall, an idea and a 12 pack of Heineken. The end result, was this useful counter with barn style doors and two floating shelves. Total spent, about $200 including the beer lol thank you lady for the ideas.
