We are mediocre novice in the handy area. I more so than he, but together we wanted to tackle this project.
The directions were great and the pictures helped with some of the minor confusion. Great plan and solid beautiful bed frame.
The total cost was around $175. Wood is a bit expensive in our area...
the stain we chose was a semitransparent gray wash. I thought it was going to be a true stain but it was more a paint quality but in the end the wood grain showed through and we just used one coat! Went on thick
This was my boyfriend and my first major construction project and tackling it together we were a little intimidated ... never used a kreg jig but had purchased one a few years ago and never used it. Haha well you def want to have it. Watched a iTunes video and it Was easy and we faired well.
Only one argument that taught us both a few things and ended up giving us the desire to make more furniture together.
Thank you Ana white
I used a combination of Ana White's book, The Handbuilt Home, and her website plans to build TWO twin sized headboards. I did not build the rails and/or footboard, because the room is too small. I simply attached the metal bed frame to the posts of the headboard. My boys love their new beds!
I made this version of Ana's Reclaimed Soda Crate as Christmas gifts for my kids' teachers. Less than $6 per gift! Full instructions can be found on my blog at www.dropdeadthrifty.com
Variation on the Farmhouse Table plans. Built from knotty pine and finished with Minwax Early American stain.
We bought our adjustable bed and needed something to make it look better. I loved this bed and modified it to fit our needs. It was easy to build and really made such a difference in our room!

Would you happen to have plans or instructions for this project? Thanks in advance!
Followed the plans on the site but made it 3" wider to better fit our electronics.
I changed a few things and it's not 100% finished, but far enough along for some production to start. It takes a LOT of dirt to fill this and I only made it 400mm high.

There are three plans combined here in this picture. All three completed in the past year. The toy boxes are from the one plan, the cubby shelves from another and finally the dress up stand is the third. It is never this tidy in our playroom! Ah ah, what you cannot see is the other half :D But the girls do enjoy it quite a bit and it does keep most toys off the floor and easily accessible. Thanks Ana for a great variety of plans!
Made a few changes to the cuts on the supports as I made a mistake on the mitres. However, it worked out and added a different look than the plan's design. (notice pointed mitres on supports)
Potting table, was easy to build, very strong and stable because of the size of the wood used. It's a big table -- an entire dog fits inside :)
Modifed the Rustic X console to fit the width of den area's windows. Wife wanted storage, I needed a project.
We really wanted to give our 2 year old a play kitchen for Christmas. We also didn't want to spend the money on the likes of the Pottery Barn set, and weweren't sold on the lesser-expensive options. Fortunately, a quick internet search led me to Ana White's website and plans for this play kitchen. As someone who has never built anything before, the plans seemed very doable. All of the brag posts were also inspirational and sold me on starting this project. I worked on this an hour or so after work for a couple of weeks, and then a few longer nights running up to Christmas Eve (always a bit of a procrastinator!). As neither my wife or I know how to sew, we decided to turn the space underneath the sink into a cabinet. The paint color was left over from painting our kitchen and family room, and we decided to stain the stove and counter tops. Overall, we are very pleased and proud with how this turned out, and our 2 year old loves playing with the set!

This looks awesome! Love all the details and the green color with the stained counter. Great job!

This is so adorable. I especially love the little sink.
Table was really fun and difficult to complete. It took me about 30 hours to complete. However, it is a real hit in the neighborhood. I used pine and some of the material was really soft and difficult to sand/finish. Decided to paint the pedestals chalk white (wife's inspiration), which was a really good choice. Fitting the center sections of table top to frame was most difficult aspect of project. Thanks Ana for the inspiration!

This rustic bench is perfect for our remodeled bathroom. It is made from post oak lumber harvested from my property and milled myself using a friend’s sawmill. No stain, just polyurethane.
I was looking for a "super easy console table" and once I was ready to build it, I mustered the confidence to try a more complex table top design. Using pocket hole joinery, 2"x2" legs and supports, scrap 1"x2" "blocks" for the herringbone pattern, scrap 1/2" 8"x4' plywood, 3/4"x1/2" pieces to frame the top, and much wood glue, I built this 8.5" narrow console table for under $30. The plan shared on this site was one of the inspiration pieces that helped me believe I could do this too!

I'm going to have to copy you now, you know! What a fabulous idea, fabulously implemented!

=D It was satisfying to make, although watching glue and wood filler dry made me feel like I was the most impatient person in the world. Thank you for your kindness!
My master bath was in desparate need of storage, and as usual, it was Ana's site to the rescue. I built this Ladder Shelf exactly from Ana's 'Painter's Ladder Shelf' plans. I built and had it painted in about 2 days. Now I finally have a place to store towels. Thanks again, Ana!
We altered the plans to match our kitchen island to our 10-seat farm table my husband made. The top design is a replica of our table. We then added some wrought iron hooks and iron bottle opener for detail as well as corner plates to match our dining table. We decided to leave out the drawers and add a little open cubby for storage instead. Will look great with our rustic, country theme in our house!
I made this kitchen cabinet to replace the one we had there. The one we had was originally a peninsula. We had a severe water leak and had to replace the wood floor. We decided to swing the peninsula against the wall under the wine rack I made and posted earlier. The peninsula cabinet had some pretty severe water damage and only had 1 drawer and cabinets. We didn’t like having to dig for things so I made all drawers and we love it. I made this from pine using some of the techniques I learned from Ana and have incorporated into my other projects. I used Kreg’s pocket hole jig for almost all the joinery and Kreg’s drawer slide jig for the drawer slides. I used Hickory ball bearing, soft close drawer slides. It is painted Rust-Oleum Heirloom White satin with a semi gloss poly.
