Purchase poplar wood from Home Depot, was unable to find all pieces of wood in pine. Cut according to plan, sanded, used kreg jig for joints, (forgot wood glue until last piece).
Built this for about $16! Fun wonderful project! Thanks Ana
My daughter wanted to help with building her loft bed. She handled drilling all the pocket holes, sanding, painting and some of the assembly. This was her first project. We opted to not use the landing from the plan. Increased height to 70 inches. Used 1x4’s for the mattress supports. Anchored to the wall to eliminate any shaking in the bed when climbing up
I made this from the Simple Play Kitchen Plan. I recently purchased Ana's book, and it inspired me to finally build something on my own. I am proud to say I got it done within a few weekends, with minimal issues.

The idea for the apron sink I borrowed from this blog. http://www.catdmoore.com/2010/vintage-inspired-play-kitchen/
First project, so fun!
This is a hope chest I made for my step daughter this Christmas it is made intirely out of pallet wood except for the frame which I used 1by4 by 8 pine board
I took on the challenge of teaching myself how to make these chairs and use my Ryobi tools. I had sawdust everywhere and loved it, thank you Ana
This is a century old red oak fireplace mantel I bought off of Craigslist. It came out of a home in Louisville, KY. It was in bad shape as you can see in the photos. I stripped it and replaced the veneer that needed it. I had to modify it a bit to install it to my mother-in-laws brick fireplace. The mirror is mercury glass and beveled. I did add some red oak rope trim which I beveled to give a more formal look. I countersunk some holes along the sides that I covered with some red oak trim. This allowed me to attach studs to the brick and then attach the mantel to the studs. The very top shelf was rotted so I found some beautiful spalted red oak and rebuilt this. The former onlay on the front was beyond repair and I found the current salvaged onlay on Ebay for around $10. I am really happy with how it turned out.
These mini farmhouse tables are great examples of a creative way to personalize plans. They both cheer for thier college team! And as fall in the south is here, college football is king. Please go to www.ourhomemadefamily.com for my thoughts on how the finish is the personality of all my custom builds.
I reduced the length by 12 inches to accomodate my space, and I ripped the boards on the table saw so they would be more flush when I assembled the tabletop. Otherwise, I followed the plan exactly. Distressed tabletop before staining.
Desk was built per the plans. The only adjustment made was to the width to fit the space. Desk was easy to build and looks great! I added Gator Hide to the top to provide water resistance.
This was made from a plan I found on this site. It was made out of scrap from another project so I had to adapt the plans based on the wood I had.
Ana's simplest console inspired my first build. I decided to make it a bit wider like one I saw on Shanty 2 Chic's website, and this is what I came up with. So excited about my first build - can't wait for the next!
This project took us four days. The biggest job that took us awhile was sanding and painting.
I’ve been searching for a free standing closet for so long!! I stumbled across these plans a few months ago and asked my hubby and brother if they would be up for a little project and boy, did they ever do an amazing job!! I am so happy with this. We ended up making ours a little bit shorter to fit in our room and adjusting some of the other plans. The rods were cut a little short, but everything still worked out beautifully. Thank you for these plans! <3

Thanks for sharing, we chose this as our Brag Post of the Day on Facebook!
I started with the standard laundry basket dresser but went with shelves. I thought that the baskets would last liner this way. The baskets used are from IKEA and sit on felt runners to keep the noise down.
We built this farmhouse table for my Mom's house, to create a space big enough for our growing family to gather at holidays and birthdays. We added to the size- the final dimensions were 82″ (long) x42″ (wide) x 30″(tall). It is a huge, chunky table! My parents prefer natural finishes, so we gave the natural wood several protective coats of polycrylic.
I had a friend who was interested in a small island with two stools that looked like this offered by a fancy home interior store. The reviews weren't all that great, even for the half off sale price. They needed something small to fit their space that would basically serve as a dining area for her and her husband. It is build out of spruce and whitewood lumber. White paint and dark walnut stain, with poly on top. The legs are two 2x4s glued together , then ripped each side to square it off making it an actual 3" x 3". The stools came from Ana's farmhouse counter stool plan. The island I just went with overall demensions and built it from there. Pocket hole screws and finish nails.
