Gorgeous Farmhouse Bed Prowdcreations
spare room home project
I really liked the barn door entertainment center! I attempted to make my own hardware for the door. It didn't turn out as planned. So I had to come up with a different design. This is what I came up with. I love it!

Thank you!! It can fit up too a 55 in TV. We have a 50in TV.
My teenage son and his father took over the bulk of the building duties this time. We chose to use treated lumber as untreated lumber with finish applied doesn't do well in Michigan weather in my experience. We made it more beautiful by using the treated lumber in cedartone. We used pocket holes to attach the top and seats to the supports to make for a smooth appearance. This is one large and heavy table! The plans were accurate and the build was fairly simple, but having many hands made working with the large piece easier.

This is BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you so much for building this table and sharing photos!
New outdoor chairs!
I have too many scraps … and a granddaughter with a 2nd birthday coming up soon … so spent a couple hours cutting the pieces … took extra time since i was trying to make scraps work … but it still came together well. I had trouble making pocket screws work on this project … but the design makes it easy to bury and cover regular screws.
I used the Farmhouse Bedside Table plans as a starting point for this Christmas gift project for my husband. I removed 5" off the legs, omitted the shelf and doubled the width so that it would hold 30 DVDs in the drawer. I wanted something unique for his man cave and coming from England this seemed a great way of introducing our heritage without being overpowering in the room. Great project plan and easy to follow and only took a day to make including the painting time.
I had a big empty wall in my den/man cave, so I decided to build a dartboard cabinet instead of just hanging a dartboard on the wall. No plans for this, I just made it up as I went. Measured twice, sketched it out and cut as I went.
I use pine 1x4's for the frame and back. 1x3's for the accessory box, 1x2's for the door frame, and poplar strips for the doors and door braces. The darts are held by 6" long 2x2's with holes drilled.
Wood screws, finish nails, and small brads were used to hold everything together.
The chalkboards are simple MDF's cut and sprayed with chalkboard paint. Overlay hinges are used for the doors, and the dartbord is held on with screws from the back so it can be replaced when needed.
The Alabama A is hand-painted.
Made exactly as according to Ana Whites plans. Easy to build and very pretty once completed

After searching for the perfect bed (quality bed) that didn't cost a fortune and after discovering Ana's site a while back I got the nerve to try to build my sons bed! My husband help me cut the large pieces and figure out how to use a Kreg Jig.It was really easy and fun!!! Thanks for the plans and the inspiration!
I built the cherry stained easy kitchen island for my own kitchen... After friends and family looked at it, my daughter' smother (of course my ex) asked if I could buiild her one... we love both of our "islands" even though we both have them along walls in our homes... I added a second shelf for extra storage but it's great for what I call a grocery drop off point... Very sturdy and they both compliment our kitchens... I don't have a picture of it in her home (both of these were in my home on different floors of the house) but she says it matches well with her oak cabinets... Hope you like them :)
My dad helped me build this. I wanted to make one out of crates similar to another post but we decided on plywood and my dad wanted to play with the portable saw he bought me. We customized it for my space and didn't use any plans. I think it turned out nicely though I may need another for all my other shoes!
Simple and easy
I wanted to make a table for our daughters birthday to put a spread of food on.
I went out in search for pallets and threw a quick sketch together and brought it to life.
Currently it is my computer table, but only for the next week then on to it's purpose.
Start to finish took 3 days

How many coats of the Polyurethane did you use? I just finished with my first build. I have painted, stained, and put 2 coats of the Polyurethane on it. The table is still very ruff and it just overall doesnt feel finished. Im not sure what I should do...

So I forgot I had my account. My advice might be a little late but we used 3 coats on that table. We normally go through the grits prior to starting the staining process. 150...220...300 after every coat do a very light hand sanding till it is smooth but try and avoid putting too much pressure. Then give it a wipe down with a damp cloth and let dry before applying next coat. 3 is a good amount of coats for something indoors like this one. Again so sorry I did not get back sooner. I use pinterest more for putting up my project images.
This is my first attempt to build anything since the age of 17 (school!). I have recently bought a house and tried my arm at installing skirting (base boards in the US I think?) and it piqued my interest. The family needed a table, so I built one..
Its not perfect, but I'm looking forward to many family meals with our young family :)

Great job! ... it looks great. I know you are not in US, but did you just use the cheap pine? I made a farmhouse bed with it this past fall and I have had problems with it shrinking on me. I want to do this table, and I know that the kreg will keep it tight ... I just need to buy one. Good work!

Hi bclute... thanks for the comment and the compliment. As for your question about the type of pine, I’m so new at this I’m not sure really. I understand there are grades of timber, but I went to my local timber yard and got what they had. Construction grade I believe. The bed is my next project so it's interesting to hear about your project. I suppose letting the wood dry fully is an option, but that takes a lot of time. I used the Kreg HD, it was great and easy to use, although clamping it each time makes for a slower job than the standard jig. Thanks again A
Could not find cedar fence pickets that did not have dog ears. Used 1”x6”s instead. That also helped with strength. Followed your directions and then added a top “shelf” and stained the planter. Lots of fun.
I was inspired by the Christmas stocking holders, so built my own from all scrap wood.
