I modified the size on this a bit and as in a few of my other builds, I needed room for all five boys to put their stuff ;)

It is at the bottom of the stairs and I'm not sure what our house would look like without it!!!! EVERYTHING ends up here!!!

I started msking tgese for my kids and couldnt stop. first was the sonic and princess then spiderman then batman and last the brave chair.

My daughter needed a new bed after our second child came along. 

Made the Farmhouse Bed to fit our new adjustable bed. Thanks to Ana White and all her free plans, I’ve been able to build SO many things!

Our first woodworking project! A sewing desk that was featured on this site.

I wanted a jig/guide that would allow me to cut multiple pieces of wood exactly the same length using my Mitre saw. Designed this Jig and apart from the 4 screws you see everything is pocket holes. Now when I build from Ana's plans and my own designs I can guarantee all the pieces that need to be the same length will be!!

This is one of two chairs that I recently built to replace some outdoor furniture that only lasted 2 years in the Florida sun.  Rather than buying a new set, I figured I could just rebuild them using wood which would last a lot longer.  I built these off the measurements of the chairs I was replacing, and also had to keep the dimensions the same since they came with custom cushions that I wanted to re-use.   They are approx. 15" high at the seat, 31" deep and 28" wide

I used 4 PT 4x4's for the support in the corners, 4 - 1x10 common board for the outside edges and 12 1x4's.  I used decking screws and stained it with a dark walnut followed by a coat of poly.

They are on the heavy side, but came out great and will definitely last longer than 2 years!

So my husband and I have this thing...I find the projects, he builds the projects and I get to finish it. I'm more of the artsy one and he is more hands on. So this is the first table we did from Ana!

I had some leftover yellow pine, and when I saw addictedtodiy.com's Fall Centerpiece post (http://addicted2diy.com/2013/10/31/diy-fall-centerpiece/), I knew what I wanted to do with it. That's right - make my own version.

Now if you view Katie's post, she obviously has a much larger table than I do, but if you like hers, she did a very good tutorial on how she created hers. I think both are beautiful.

I fit mine to my dining space and the jars that I had saved. I also modified my version to take advantage of my kreg jig since I am sadly lacking my own nail gun. One day, I will have one. One day.

If you want more specifics, take a trip to my blog post (http://www.trekkiemom.com/2014/05/table-centerpiece.html) for my exact cuts, etc.

We made this a bit bigger for our crafting studio, Creative Grain Studio! 8x4!! Rustic and we are building a fourth today!!

Modified the top of Ana’s plan for a Hall Tree and very happy with how it turned out.

I made this table and chairs set to go with my daughters new playhouse bed. I used mostly of scrap wood for the chairs so they each have a slightly different look. The chair seats are solid rather than slats.

this is my intro to woodworking by myself and i think the table turned out ok. ana's website sure helped allot.

Plans were modified to change length of table to 8' and so that benches tuck under for winter storage. 5/4 cedar was used for table and bench tops-5/4 cedar was only available locally in 4" and 6" widths so we modified top slightly and made benches to match
