Grandy barn door console
I had a different idea for the barn door hardware. I used 1/2" black pipe and fittings for the rail . I found rollers on eBay that were perfect for this application. It went together great and I love the industrial look .

Thank you for the awesome banquet plans! The banquet will have cushions added and be a nice place to put an extra table for the kids at holidays. It is also amazing storage.
We are redoing our almost 3 year old girls room to a big girl room and we started with this! The Bed is almost finished and I can't wait to share it! I think adding the moulding to the top makes it look very pretty and professional. Our other two rooms have real PBK furniture in it but I honestly think this is going to look better!

This will look just perfect in my kid's room. I can't wait to try it out. Going to my local Lowe's in 30 minutes.
Used the plans and it came out great. Our daughter loves this chair. Super sturdy.
Finished project for Mikey's bed.
Wanted a new coffee table and loved the plans for this. I wanted something slight different though with a solid hardwood top.
I used only reclaimed timber. The frame is from old construction lumber which I planted and squared off. The top and bottom slats are iroko and sycamore sourced from commercial wood recycling project.
I had a little bit of wood left over so made some matching coasters and coaster holder

You did a stellar job on this! Thank you for sharing:)
This is one of my favorite things i've built yet. Its cute, small, and sturdy!
Had to adjust the size of the drawer to fit inside the gap. Chose to lay the shelf on the bottom and attached a 1x2 to the front of the shelf perpendicular to the ground to keep the shelf in place.
I chose not to add the plywood backing because it's not visible, but I may in the future.
Overall a great and simple project, and I'm very pleased with the results.
I LOVE this bench. It's simple and rustic, yet absolutely beautiful. I modified the plans slightly to exclude the long support board along the bottom of the bench and found that the bench is still very sturdy and stable. I love that this bench is a relatively easy and quick to complete project, with such a gorgeous end product!
Made it for a friend who will be on the go with her new baby. I included screw hooks to either hang bags or separate. Tray & box are removable also. Bottoms are chalkboard paint. She wanted to paint it so i will stop here.
Fun and easy project
Bookshelf for my son.
A 1x16 was used for the top and sides to give it a little more depth.
We cut the sides at 29" tall so that it is just under 30" high and can be used with a regular chair.
The shelves are 1x6's since we made it a little deeper.
The banner posts are 1x2's that are 6' tall.
Beadboard and some extra trim were also used.
The plumbing underneath was a bit wonky, so we needed something that was open on the side against the wall and could be built in place around the plumbing. Added a few shelves to hide said plumbing.
We had a table in the entryway that seemed to catch everything, bags, mail, etc. so when I found the Mimi hall tree I had to build it. This was my second build, so I was a little nervous. I wanted to paint it white , but my wife talked me out of it. I am so glad she did. Fun build, and now we have a place for all the stuff when we get home every evening.
We used repurposed wood from a previous home reno project along with new lumber to build a king-sized bed frame and wall-length headboard - based off of the "2x4 Simple Modern Bed" plans from More Like Home. We are VERY much beginners so this was an incredible learning experience, but the end result looks pretty good, in my opinion!
Needed a sturdy coffee table and this plan was perfect. Doubles as a bench, extra storage in the hidden cubby underneath the flip top, holds football fiesta platters, beers, and when the parties not in full swing, I'm using as a sewing table as well. Love it. Used my Kreg jig for entire assembly so super sturdy and easy too. Modifications: 1x6 Pine boards, jigged together. love the look of pine and after assembly, meticulously sanded so feels like one piece of wood. Used the hidden hinges. Bottom shelf I made out of leftover 1x4's, to match the top. width is 36 inches. Had to fit in a tiny living room. Did add support to the bottom shelf, 2 1x2's under the 1x4's....my dog has already crawled onto the shelf.

thank you so much! Glad you liked it, I love the contrast too!
Since it's essentially a holder for hubby's beer and snacks this kind of top can take a lot of abuse and still look great

I love the look of this augmented plan. The 1x6 boards looks super sleek.
Can I ask you a question? I'm building this bench as my very first building project, and so far it is quite wobbly. I attached the shelves with one pocket hole in each corner through the shelf piece. You mentioned that yours is super sturdy. How did you attach the shelves?
Thanks! - Victoria

Victoria,
I made each side as a frame, looked like 2 rectangles and 2 squares. Those were both kregged together...then I put those frames, front, back and 2 sides together kregging those together. The shelves are all kregged in too. I don't know if that helps or not. I've used mine for extra seating.
good luck, angie
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.
The second one was before. It was the very first project I ever did all by myself. It only took me a couple of months to get the nerve to go to the store and buy everything. Then I cut and did everything on my own. 😬 I am so stinkin proud of myself.
