Fall Console Table
Beautiful fall decor console table.
Beautiful fall decor console table.
The 'Clara table' was my hubbies first true build. He built this table for our daughter last summer. She loves it and it gets used on the daily. :) We went with a solid top instead of separate boards. It might have added a little extra cost but not much.
I built a bookcase with a large drawer beneath for my son's nursery. This build was based on Ana's plans for the Cube Drawer Bench and Hutch, but I changed a few things to make it my own. This was my first real attempt at making any kind of furniture, or anything else, really, and I'm fairly happy with the way it turned out. More importantly, my wife loves it.
I learned a TON from all the resources on this website. Thanks Ana!

It looks really great! One question, how did you attach the hutch to the bench?

Thank you!
I attached the hutch to the drawer by drilling 4 pocket holes on the inside of the bookcase where the bottom meets the top of the drawer. I also used wood glue. I was concerned about the hutch moving around, and the possibility of it tipping over, so I decided to go ahead and build the two components as one piece, essentially.
Also, in order to add some additional strength and stability, I combined the frames on both components so that I would have vertical 1x2's going down the entire length of the backside of the piece. I also added horizontal 1x2's on the backside of each shelf. All these things combined really gave it a lot of extra strength.
Ended up skipping the drawer slides as I made the drawers too wide. Not as tricky a project as I expected, and we’re thrilled with result!

Looks AWESOME! I did something similar with the wood on white, I just posted the build :) I am going to have to copy this though!!!
We made some minor changes to the overall finish from the plans for the coffee and end tables, I had a hard time matching the stain color, as well as omitting the hardware (I painted it but we never got around to attaching it).
We had a console table that we were replacing (we bought it when we first moved in and I've never been overly thrilled with how it looked in the room) and hubby did a GREAT job incorporting the fireplace from that unit into the console table.
Over all, a fun and inexpensive set of living room furniture. Can't wait for our next preoject!! We're planning an "X" inspired dinning room table for 10. I'll be sure to post pictures!

This is perfection! And exactly what my boys have been asking for. Any chance you have your modifications? Thanks!

This is a simple and cheap way to decorate any space. Just use some 1x2's to make a square frame. Stretch the fabric over the frame and staple it. You can make one large one or many different sized ones to cover a boring wall.
I was very excited to make this for my daughter. I made the tops and shelves from MDF. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying construction-grade 2 x 2s, instead of select pine, as I didn't know there was a difference at the time. DON'T do this! The select pine looks much better, with crisper edges and cleaner lines.
The assembly was a bit tricky on my own, but I managed to get it done. I really like the general looks of this desk, but I made a few mistakes along the way so I'm probably going to build another, without the mistakes.
This was a great first project. Thanks for the plans and the inspiration.
I needed to make a hall table so made a narrower version, and had to alter the dimensions to suit the metric system and readily available materials at Bunnings (Australia), and also made the upper and lower sections identical in height. It ended up about 300mm deep because the shortest drawer runners I could find were 250mm. These are full extension Hafele side rails, opening 100% to make the most of the narrow depth.
The drawer fronts are from a single piece of reclaimed Oregon Pine sourced locally and then stained with various strengths of Victorian Antique Wood Dye from eBay. The stain is natural/non-chemical and made from walnut husks - just dilute with water to the desired shade and worked well on this timber.
Thanks Ana and thanks Jamison!
Made this for my granddaughters from Ana White’s plans.

I had been wanting to make this for sometime but didn't have the curtains. I was at a friend house and she asked if I wanted the red curtains that she was going to throw them away. So I got to make the tent, her daughters got a cool place to play and the curtains got a new purpose also the tent was made to fold for storage!!!
Thanks Ana for all the plans and ideas you give us!!
My wife wanted a black headboard to match our existing bedroom set so I built just the headboard from the farmhouse bed plans. It was simple to build, looks great, and my wife and I love sleeping under it.

I just built this headboard for my daughter's new full bed and she wanted the headboard with the metal frame. I was wondering if you could share how you attached your headboard to the frame? The holes in our metal frame on the the flanges for the headboard are rather large. I used kiln dried 2x4's for her legs because we don't get 4x4's here that aren't pressure treated.
My little sister is building her first garden this year, and had asked about a garden bed and bench. I found this plan on the Ana White site, and waited until the local Home Depot had cedar fence pickets on sale for $2.34 each. Once these were purchased, the 3 garden beds were put together easily with screws and some Titebond II, and then sprayed with spar urethane on the outside for further protection. I also took some live edge fir slabs I'd gotten for free from a lumbermills scrap pile, and cut, sanded, and stained them to put together a live edge bench. I assembled the bench using rabbet and tenon, and then further braced the legs with small L brackets that cant be seen from the front and some 3" screws from bench top to legs. After assembly, I spar-urethaned the bench with 4 coats for protection. My sister loved both the bench and her boxes. Thanks for the plan!

I made 15 of these ornament trees for our church's Christmas banquet. We adjusted the height to 14". I locked the wire in place with 8 x 3/4 screws that were countersunk. I plan to paint the trees gold.

Fun, easy build. This is the first project from this site and the kids loved helping make their own chairs. They got to pick their own color paint - I think I spent more on paint than I did on the wood!
