Thank you for such an easy project to follow! I used plywood, 2x4s and fence pickets to make this.

I based my shelves on the Subway Tile Bookshelf plans. The space I needed to fill was roughly 72x108. I wanted the offset shelves so I didn't need extra supports and it also had to be lifted off the floor because of a space heater. I used 12 inch melamine boards that I had the store cut for me because I have no experience. I used a drill for the first time and it came together very quickly. I used 14 inch pre-made legs that I spray painted white.

This is a variation from a brag photo I saw on the Modified Twin Farmhouse Bed. I built two for my girls and also created plans of the variation. We love these beds! They are so beautiful!

Reclaimed this wood from a >100 year old home that was being renovated. This is just the couch portion, I also built the sectional part. I really like how it came out. 

The doll size version of PB camp bunk beds with a solid head and footboard made to mimic the real life size version. I made these bunks to match the life size version which the girls have in their ski house complete with matching quilts using the same fabric from their bedding.

This was my first table, great directions from Ana White and other postings. Turned out great, the main addition I had was to add some supports for the ends as it felt like it needed it.

It was a long and brutal process, but so is child birth and I did that twice so... I was definitely a beginner at the start. I learned A LOT from this process and it paid off in the end! Couldn't be happier with the outcome!

DIY Farmhouse Bed - Jayce Thibodeaux

I built this farmhouse table for my beautiful wife for christmas using the update pocket hole plans. It was a lot of work but well worth it.

Bench in the making!

To build I used mostly all pallet wood.  This made things interesting because not one drawer was the same and had to custom fit each drawer.  

Turned out great! Instructions were very easy to follow. My first attempt at building a piece of "furniture". 

We built this bed for the lil neighbor girl as a gift for Christmas. It turned out better than I expected! The Plans were amazing and easy to follow... It is the first project that I used my Kreg Jig! I am so excited to build another one for my daughter now! We decided to pre-finish all the parts after we cut them to ensure proper sealing of all the ends, just in case of any sap or what not. Special thanks to Ana for all of these plans and Ideas! You truely rock!

Built from the Triple Pedestal Farmhouse Table plans. It took at lot longer than I wanted, but I was taking my time to avoid mistakes. All of the wood is "2 x ?" pine studs. the table is solid and very heavy.

My twins share one pretty large room. They are 11 years old now and getting old enough to want more of their own personal space. This 5x5 cubby shelf was perfect to be used as a room divider!

My challenge was that I typically work in the basement, but their room is on the 2nd floor. I didn't have anyone that would be able to help me carry this massive creation up 2 flights of stairs, so I had to build this "on site." Unfortunately, their room is carpeted (poorly), so I brought up some old subfloor panels that I had to have a more flat surface to work on. It wasn't ideal, but made it possible.

It also took me much longer than it would take most people since I was limited to working only during nap times. It probably could have been done in a day or two if I had the opportunity to work continuously.

This project was something my wife wanted, but I didn't want to spend alot of money. I managed to build this project for less then $25.00 minus the paint. We are not sure what color it's going to be and I think I might add a shelf to it at a later date. We had to cut this down by 19 inches to fit it into our hall way. Hopefully I will get the rest of it finished in the next month or so depending on the weather.

I made it a little deeper to accomodate my tuner (59" wide x 21" deep x 35" tall).

I liked the look of the long, top shelf that others makers had built, it's perfect for my 3 front speakers!

These sliding door rollers worked great for the door hardware:

I used  1" x 0.125" flat bar (hot rolled steel) for the rails and door mounting stips (6" x 4).  It's fairly soft, so is easy to drill the holes for the screws.

Total cost was about $250, but $80 of that was for the thick cedar top. I used cedar, as I like the colour it goes when ebonized with vinegar/steel wool solution. The door are also cedar. I finished the top and doors with wipe-on polyurethane. The paint was grey eggshell latex.
