Hubby and I built this as our first build! It's a modified version of your farmhouse table. We spliced together your farmhouse table plans and a plan for a desk with "x" legs. We modified the dimensions to fit our formal dining room. We just hosted our first ever Thanksgiving dinner at our new home, and fed my whole family on this table. Everyone loved it! Thanks for the inspiration!

Great plan from Ana White! I changed a few things with the size of the snowflake and I added a long stake to put it in the ground outside!

My husband built this table and bench for my son and his wife. He is presently building another by request for a young couple.

This was my first attempt at building anything....ever. It was so incredibly fun and I certainly learned a lot. My 8 little chickens are loving their new home and I can't wait to build my next project!

We recently got a new puppy and the toys were all over the house. I decided to make a simple yet practical box for his toys....I'm sure the box will be chewed up soon :)

Wood type: Pine
Finish: Water based polyurethane, Minwax walnut stain, white acrylic paint.
Cut List: Only one 1" x 6" x 8' board was needed for this box.

We did a bench, I got your plans off Pinterest. We just put a slight slant to the back and we love it. Thanks for the great plans.

My wife and I were perplexed about what to get my 2nd daughter for her 3rd birthday. We were also tired of all the plastic around the house. I was browsing and saw your kitchen plans.

Interestingly, one year ago we remodeled our main kitchen when my wife was 8 months pregnant. So we used our kitchen as the model and built a smaller scale version for my daughter. Complete with stainless appliances and accessories. The counter/backsplash was the sink punch out from our main kitchen counters that I kept after I installed them.

My daughter was thrilled with the way it turned out!

This bed was built custom for the girl who ordered it. She wanted both a bookcase headboard on the long side and a traditional headboard. The bookcase headboard could not block the window and needed to have access to the outlet behind the bed. The bed was designed to match a dresser that had already been purchased. The drawers below give additional storage.

This was loosely based on one of the media cabinets on this site.  I built it to fit this spot exactly and used many of the same design elements as in the Leighton media Suite I built several years ago.  One thing I want to mention I did with this design that is a FABULOUS idea in all media units.  Inset the back of your lower section.  I hate not being able to run the top of my "counter" flush with the wall because the back of my unit or bookcase is running into all the plugs in the outlet.  I left a little larger of an overhang than I normally wood to clear the baseboards and I inset the backing of this peice about and inch inward to leave lots of room for all the chords to just hang there but be hidden.  They are much more accessible and now the top of my unit is flush to the wall.  

I added a small attached desk to the Camp Loft bed plans and framed a 1/2 inch sheet of scrap plywood painted with chalkboard paint. i then Reused an old "hanging herbs" fixture bought from IKEA for art supplies. My daughter calls it her "Art Studio"!!

We built this entryway locker using Hillarys plans. It turned out amazing and it gets more use than any piece of furniture in our house at the moment.

I needed a place for my kids to put their shoes so I shrunk the plan for the X Console and made it fit my entry way. I love it!
