I did this all with fence panels. The dimensions were determined by my 2x4's. I trimmed the pickets to size and overlapped them to give it a real siding look. Then I power washed it and let the kids have fun, we have not finished decorating but we will and I am sure it will change over time since their decoration of choice is chalk. I say a weekend because you need to inventory what lengths of wood you have to plan it out and the smaller cuts for the siding can be time consuming. This didn't cost me a thing I had screws left over from building a deck. I built each wall then screwed them together and attached siding making sure to only screw into the facing wall so I could disassemble if needed.
Awesome rustic book case that was inspired by an Arhaus table. It is a fun twist on a traditional book shelf with tons of character!
I'm calling this a Skiki Bar which is a word play on Tiki bar. It is based on the Simple Rolling Cart design. I used my own dimensions according to the width of cross-country skis. I have a large number of these old skis for projects. They are sold for very cheap at garage sales, etc. The top of the bar is made from boards that I had removed from an Adirondack chair set, which I had made Ski chairs with. So those were already stained and they matched the stain I used on the pine 2x4 frame of this Skiki Bar. I already had a pair of wheels laying around so I only had to buy 2 more of the same size. The pictures were taken before I installed a shelf on the bottom with some scrap plywood I had in my garage.
I estimated the time to factor in how long it takes to stain all the boards and let them dry.
On the left edge I installed a Ski bottle opener I made.
I estimated my cost on what I bought that I didn't already have. I bought the pine 2x4's (also a 1x4, 1x6), Construction Screws, Stainless Steel Screws (For attaching skis), and 2 wheels.
I already had: Skis, Bar top boards, 2 wheels, deck screws (attaching the bar top boards from underneath), stain, clear coat, wood glue and tools.
My next project is to make Ski bar stools. Thanks for having a look at my design!
I took Patrick's design and expanded it. The dresser is deeper and has one more drawer than the original. The finish is only slightly distressed because that's how my 'client' wanted it. The drawer slides were the toughest part. The carcass MUST be square or at least very close. I built the whole thing, then tore the carcass apart and rebuilt it because my first attempt was not square enough. Obviously the drawers won't slide smoothly if it isn't square.
Edit: I get a lot of requests for the plans and/or cut list for my modifications. I do not feel comfortable re-posting the plans on my website and can not do it here either (only pictures can be uploaded). Please feel free to e-mail me (bbomerATgrvland.com) or request the plans in the comment section of my blog (linked below) and I will send you a .pdf that shows my modifications at each step.
Edit 2015-01-26: I do not believe that I am getting notifications for all the comments here, so please use one of the methods above.
Edit 2015-01-28: I have posted my alterations here: http://grvland.com/wordpress/2015/01/28/dresser-plan/. Please comment there with any questions, because I can not guarantee that I will get notified if you comment here.

Hi .. I was just wondering if I could get the free plan for a three drawer dresser ? Nothing fancy , just wat to make one for my wife for her b-day , comin up soon ,, any help would be great ,, Thanks , and hope you have a happy new year/ Bye for now , Claude.
I recently spotted a little gem in the garage - a little space in between the garage doors. It was perfect for building a modular system of small French cleat box shelves. I made them all using scrap wood. I even had extra scrap wood to make a battery charging station in another narrow gap on the wall. You can read all the details about my latest storage adventure on my blog:

I'm on high alert for more areas like this that get overlooked easily, and am just waiting for more inspiration to strike!
Our son moved up to a big boy room and we made him the Fire Station bed. He LOVES it. Not quite ready for him to use it as a loft bed so he is sleeping on the bottom for now.

This project was super easy and free! I just used some scrap wood I had, along with stains and finishes already on-hand and built this Pottery Barn Kids knockoff shelf while the baby napped! For the complete play-by-play, click my blog link!

This looks great! I just finished the wood part of this project, and was looking to see what everyone used for a finish. Yours looks pink in the photo, but you say it is red paint. Is the picture true to color?
My first build. Built two of these for less than $50 and four hours. Finished the top with dark brown Polyshades and the bottom with off white satin paint. Borrowed my dad's mitre saw and and drill. Can't wait to do more.
Built entirely of reclaimed pallet wood & shipping crate
My mother wanted something to match the table she got for under her TV, and I found the plans here for the x-style coffee table and small end table to be very fitting. The crosses were pretty difficult with just a hand saw, but with the help of my brother in law we got these done in a few days.
We needed a new fire pit area for the back yard. Your Adirondack chair and side table designs were a perfect fit.
We saw this bed and decided to make it after getting tired of the sad state of our bedroom furniture. My husband built this as a weekend project. We also built the Farmhouse Nightstand, and plan to build the Wide Cabin Dresser stained to match. The bed is very sturdy, even with three kids horsing around.
Our new 1970s Hawaiian house had never been renovated. It has beautiful redwood walls, but felt dark with a lot of walls dividing the kitchen from the living and dining rooms. They were partial walls, so we removed them and decided to add an island to divide the kitchen from the dining room.
I actually built this twice, the first time at bar height and the second one I altered to be counter height to match the existing cabinets. Since the kitchen is open to the living room and dining room, we thought it would look cleanest if the counters were all at the same height. (We saved my first build and I now use it as a workbench).
I also removed the corbels from the plan and closed in the center wine rack. Lastly, instead of feet, I added 2X4 to the bottom to create a toe kick on one side. The top of the island is Corian and the paint color is Benjamin Moore Marina Bay.
I build just one piece for my wife and she love it and ask me for build another one so I just build it and add a triangle table more for surprise her,The ""X'' design I take of this website and the legs and dimension and style is my own design 3 corner 45 with the router and and Front drawer is decorative (fake)
This was my first time building something and I was thrilled with how they turned out. Thanks to Ana for creating such easy to follow plans. I look forward to many more projects to come!
This is the 3rd table I built. Love all of your work. Ross
To finish my laundry room off I decided to build laundry cabinets - this laundry basket dresser is perfect! I used 8in. fold down shelf brackets (like the ones in Lady Goats Miter Saw cart). I also cut corners on the back since I was out of plywood after building my laundry cabinets. I used 3 1 X3s to support the back. I used a pine project board for the top which is only 24in deep so I did adjust the plan for that and the baskets still fit!
I left off the casters, but added a one inch foam pad covered with outdoor material to make an ottoman. I made sure the top was removable so we could also use it as storage. I've got a little material left over to make a matching throw pillow.
