This is actually my third project from your site Ana.
I acctually decided to make this table ten inch wider since my wife has a loooooooot of crafts :)
This project took a little longer then I thought.
It was my own fault!!! I thought I would safe some time and get some of the wood cut buy the clerk at Home Depot. That turned out to be a really bad idea. Most of my cuts were uneven and even after I gave the clerk the exact measurements, a few of the boards were up to 2 inches too long. At the end I had to buy two more boards because I had to cut peaces away to have straight edges.
Lesson learned!!!
I love building wood furniture. And I already got my next plan from your site that I'm going to build.

awesome job! im in the middle of making one of these at the moment. but just to be a tad different i have put a small cutout hole on the top, theres a little bin that sits on the shelf under it, so all i have to do when ive finished with all my paper cuts is swipe it down the hole! hehe how nifty. oh and where did your wife get the black cricut machine?? lol
I really liked the look of the 2 Drawer Modern Nightstand but I wanted to add a twist to it. Since I can't live without my devices (laptop and phone), I decided to add an open slot to the middle shelf of the nightstand for power cables. It also has a space that I added in the back that can hold a power strip. Embarrassed that I did not paint the back of the nightstand but I was really done at that point after a long weekend's worth of work!
My husband and I decided to make a personal gift for our new niece. Everyone loved it, and we are currenly making another one. The first time took us a LONG time...the second time went much faster! We used nicer wood than suggested, which raised the cost. I used Sherwin Williams paint colors (buy the samples from Lowes...it was more than enough paint and only $5!) and the stencils came from a craft store. Can't wait to try more projects!!!

Modified the plans to match size for preexisiting tables in the bar. Table top burned, routed, dremmeled, stained, and finished with glaze coat.

I built this with some scrap mdf, and 1x3's. I offset the shelves, and voila! A modern shelf to go with our eclectic, yet very modern decor. It also gives me a nice display for some of my orchids. I love this shelf!
Is this kitchen island with its beautiful marble top:-) I really hate my kitchen because it is so ridiculously from the 80's and small... but it's a rental so it's not forever. The only counter space I had to cook is right there to the right of the sink by the coffee maker. I started building this the night Ana put the plans up. A friend of mine just remodeled her bathroom; and gave me the top since it was just sitting in her garage. I had to modify the plans only slightly to accommodate the top. It's 3 inches wider than the plans and I beefed up the top frame with 2x2's to support the 29 pound slab of stone. I spent less than $20 on the project because I had leftover wood from another project and a whole bunch of 2 x 4's from a project that got trumped for this one:-) I also ripped a piece of plywood to 11 1/4 to use as the sides and added edge banding on the back. I used paste wax for the very first time instead of polyurethane and I'm not sure how I like it yet.

This is so lovely! Love the finishes, and the marble is very glamorous. You did a fabulous job!
Built this table for our dining room. Neighbors kept coming by to look at it and I now have my first commissioned woodworking project for a table and benches!
Was inspired to build this to go behind our sectional. Next year, it will house our Christmas town.

I started to build these crates as storage for my oldest daughter's room, but I never got around to finishing a second. Halloween was coming on fast and I had about 8 pallets in my backyard. I debated tearing them apart and building another crate, or using them to create a graveyard.....
The graveyard won, and I ended up doing a picket fence, a casket and headstones with the pallet pieces. The crate fit right in to the decor, so it has now become a halloween decoration instead of a storage solution for my daughter's room. It even got a lid!

Today starting from the left, there is the gated entrance to flats, a new building (shop, garage & mini cab office) the flat roof building is still there but remodelled (chemist & ladies garments) the other buildings have been demolished and replaced by flats. The houses on the far corner of North Street are still there, with Prince Regent pub next door behind what was the island urinal in the middle of the road and tree.

I dont think Blue will be a good option as it will make the room look dull. You anyways have a brown toned sofa and a brown floor. So do not go for blue. I suggest if you want to add color to your room add a rug, change your sofa upholstery and that should work. You may not need to paint the wall. Infact add some posters and paintings. All this will add color to your room. carpet cleaning Downers Grove IL
This stool was made as a b-day present for my nephew Ryder (hence the play on words "free Ryder") . His dad, an avid motorcycle enthusiast, is deployed w/ the army in Afghanistan so I went w/ a patriotic motorcycle theme. Ryder just turned 2 so he is about to start the adventure of potty training si I figured this would be perfect for that and double as bath toy storage. To keep the wood from getting damaged by the humidity of the bathroom, I used pressure treated plywood and further protected it w/ tompsons wood waterproofer. I also drilled 3 rows of drainage holes in the bottom so water wouldn't be sitting in there.
Used 4x4s instead of 2x4s
I decided to tackle my very first build this year. I built the full size bunk beds for my girls for Christmas!!!!! I built the rail and ladder (except the 2x4 long posts) out of scrap wood. It took 2 weeks to build & paint only because I did it weeknights after my kids went to bed. I’m in love!

You should be incredibly proud, it’s BEAUTIFUL! I am planning to build full-sized beds for my twin daughters, and your post is very inspirational!
These chairs were soooooo easy to build and are stunning in any light. The stark white makes them look like we spent a fortune on a new set but we're smarter than that lol. Thanks for the plans and continued home improvement inspo Ana!!!!
I never thought I would have been able to do this. Thanks Anna! This was my first time building anything. It was a great learning experience. My husband was a big help. He got me comfortable with operating the power tools and assisted me with attaching the posts. This project took a lot longer to put together because I have an extremely active two year old. :-) So I had to do this when pee wee was napping or preoccupied. Originally I wanted to stain the wood Espresso but for some reason I couldn't find Espresso stain sold anywhere in Vegas. I took a swatch down to the local paint shop to have it matched but when the second coat of stain was on the footboard I realized it was not at all the color I had in mind. I had to resand all of it down and the second time around I went with a primer and espresso spray paint. I had a boxspring so instead of making the makeshift boxsprings I found the design in another plan for adding the strip to the sideboards so that slats could be laid down for the boxspring. It turned out amazing! My next project is the farmhouse nightstands. I can't wait!
We to make a Loft turn into a closed room for my grandson. We used the Sweet Pea Plan and made it a boy bed. We enclosed the back of the bed. the top bunk is a play area for him and my grand daughter. He loves it. Thanks for the Website.

This is an awesome project! I love how you took the plan and customized it to be a boy's space. And the shark motif - how cute is that!?! Love it, great job!

I absolutely love this! You did a great job with converting it to a boys bed. I was actually going to do the same thing to this exact plan when we move in a few months! Very well done. Love your taste.
Thanks for the inspiration!!

I love this! The play area up top with the chalkboard wall is so cool! I love the stain you used on all the boards too. Impresssive!
This was my first big project. Came out out pretty well.
I was looking for a console table just like this one. A friend of mine told me to check out your website and I found this one. I was so excited. My husband bought a miter saw and I got my table. Lol. Love it.
