I took the Grandy Sliding Door Console plans and added another middle section to make the entire plan fit the nook in my man cave. I manipulated the plans to have openings without shelves to fit a mini fridge and an area for blankets (currently in the wash). Total length is 12 ft and height is 37.5 inches high (36 inches + the top). I tried to stain it to match another table in the room and it worked out pretty well.

I hated the way my bi pass closet doors wasted so much precious space, as well as only having a single rod for hanging. I can't even post my before photo because of the embarrassing mess billowing out. On the both sides there are two bars based on the height of our own clothing and space needs. On the left side I made the bottom bar about 18 inches shorter than the top so that dresses can hang in that space. I also attached spare 1x12's to the rod brackets and am using them for shoes.

Another great thing about this closet system is my dirty laundry sorter! Before we just had random baskets in another part of the room for this job. Now we have a nice tidy spot and it really helps be keep up on our laundry.

I built this console table for my son's room, and added a matching hutch for additional storage and display. It's a versatile piece of furniture. He uses it for games, books and collectibles, but it would be great for a tv and game system too. Thanks for the plans!

This is our first real furniture project. We wanted a large enough table to be able to sit 10 people comfortably around without the table legs getting in the way of the people on the corners. We are really happy with the way this turned out. Each leg was joined with a double floating mortise & tennon. The overall dimensions are 47" wide by 80" long by 31.5" tall.

This plan was so easy to follow. I love my new workbench!

Hanging bed for my daughter built from the "Easiest Hanging Daybed Plans". Super easy to do and looks and feels great!

Farmhouse / cottage style bed based on your plans.

I wanted a bar lounge on my patio so I built it from your plans. We had a July 4th party for the my family. It was so nice.
Everyone was surprised I had done it myself.
I also made a corner table but unfortunately it doesn’t show in pictures.
Thank you! Your plans are amazingly easy.

I decided to make these awesome ottomans that were featured on Shanty to Chic. I love them so much. I am new to the DIY world but loving it. You can catch my adventures trying to make this bad boy at my blog at ifshecandoitsocani.blogspot.com

This was a great project. I had some trouble with getting the X's perfectly connected (due to off square boards) and had to use some wood filler here and there. Beyond that, everything came together really well. The longest part was getting the finish just right.

I had some pallet wood laying around and felt like taking on a small project. The boards were warped, but after fighting with them a bit, it turned out well. I was going for the reclaimed, rustic look anyhow :) I find it a little heavy to actually use as a caddy, so it's more for decoration. I think I might plant a few herbs in it, for a little portable herb garden.

- made directly from the plans
- decorative hardware was spray painted "flat black"
- there are decorative bolts in the legs, they were installed after these pictures were taken.

I am so ridiculously proud of myself... This was my first wood building project and now I think I'm addicted !!!! Next project a bookshelf!!

My first brag post ...Fun to make

Our Friends wanted a new bed frame in the worst way. They gave my husband free will to design a bed for them and this is what he came up with. headboard is made out of car siding. has 2 hinged doors, 2 battery operated led lights, lots of shelves. basic rails and foot board!

My son had been asking if I could build him a desk for months, so I finally decided to get it done! I found this to be a fairly easy build and with some minor changes, will likely build additional ones in the future.
