Spent two weekend between both the bed and the nightstands. The nightstand were completed one weekend and the bed was completed on another weekend. The wood for the nightstands was purchased at Lowe's. The wood for the bed was purchased at a lumber yard. The lumber yard carried untreated 4X4 posts 16 ft long for $9 each.

Using the easy to follow instructions by Ana, I was able to create this wonderful addition to my front porch.

I used cedar because I love the color and wanted the natural look.

I ended up creating a cement top instead of using the 2x6's and added 2x2 on the top boarder for added support.

I made this bed for my son on his 7th birthday. I used 4x4 posts. 1x6 for the top of the head board and foot board. Stained in red mahogany and coated with a clear gloss finish. This was my first major project and i am really happy with the results. I routered the edges of the tops with an ogee bit,  routered the legs with a champhered bit and routeredb the front with a cove bit.

I followed your plans pretty closely. My daughters love it (2 and 3 years old)! We hope to get lots of years of use out of it, it is so solidly built!

This was created using one and a half reclaimed pallets. Sealed and ready for a fire pit this summer!

This is perfect for my two boys. I can now get them to stop dropping their coats and bags on the floor as soon as they get home from school!

I made this chair from plans in Ana's book. Obviousy I modified the back to make the skull.

Super easy to make. I used all pallet wood for this project so the only cost was the screws.

My wife and I have couldn't decide where to start our DIY projects, so we picked the Kentwood plans out of a stack and got to work.

Ours are fashioned out of two 1x 12 pine boards, (7/8 x 11 1/4) cut for size. There is a great mom and pop lumber yard about an hour from where we are, and has spectacular prices on just about every kind of wood...saves us about 67% off the box stores.

We had some cedar tongue and grove boards lying around, so I used the cedar for the side and door panels. We also opted to add a shelf to the interior, measuring 13' off the bottom deck.

We did not finish the interior, aside from sanding the shelves, and putting on a top coat.

The top of the nightstands are made with scrap tongue and grove pine wall panels my father-in-law had sitting in his wood shop.

Really fun, enjoyable first foray into the ana-white.com community. Gotta say, having a Kreg jig makes joinery a snap.

I bought a house and couldn't stomach buying something I could probably build myself. This is my first project and first furniture build. Besides buying the drill and screws the table was free. Didn't even buy a skill saw, just used a hand saw. The dimensions were dictated by the length of the pallet boards and width by the two end caps, so there were very few cuts to make.

Found plastic planter boxes for succulents (3 in picture) @ dollar store. I wanted to be able to switch out the center pieces and plan to rotate in herbs, ice, other flowers.

This project was totally made possible and inspired by others posting projects so I thought I should say thanks and post my own creation.

Loved the Jilly and Mia Workbench Console but didn't have the space.  So, I chopped the width in half and used 2x6's for the top.  Pocket holes used throughout and 4.5" casters and decorative clavos used for the red lipstick.  

 Added an L section to the Fancy Desk to increase usable space  So far it still stands strong for me.  Thanks Ana
