Was a fun build. Took 3 days. Ana your awesome.
DIY Vintage Farmhouse Table - Arhaus Copycat
The Francis dining table by Arhaus was out of my budget, but with the table top plan by Ana White and the table base plan by Jen Woodhouse, I was able to create my own copycat version of the Francis table. It took me some time to figure out the stain order and combination, but I couldn't be happier with the vintage farmhouse stain I achieved with just a few layers and some wax. The table is light enough to carry upstairs, but it's also incredibly stable and solid.

Router Table
My wife has been asking for new dressers for the boy's room for a while now but every time we go out shopping for them I am very disappointed in the quality of what is available. So I decided to make them myself. I have not made any furniture before and needed a few tools to help me out and thought what better way to get both the practice and the tools then build my own router table.
I searched the web for plans and found these great ones. I loved these plans but wanted to make a couple of changes anyway. I decide to build the table top as well as the cabinet and decided to make it a little taller to fit me better. Due to the changes and making the table top it took me 2 days to finish, 1 day for the cabinet and 1 for the top and to put it all together. (Not having used a router before it took me a while to get the template just right to cut in the insert.)
It works great and looks great in my shop. Now on to the dressers.

I need to build one of these!!
Yours looks very nice!
Little Tower
I'm a mother of three kids, so it took me a while to finish, but I also did some additional work on it so I would be able to stain rather than paint it. I used a countersink drill bit to put in a bit of a hole that I filled with wood by using a plug cutter so that it would match more. I also used epoxy in the knot so my son's baby toes wouldn't get hurt. That's it. I love it!

I need to add this project to
I need to add this project to my todo list. My little one can't walk just yet, but it's coming soon. This will be a cool piece of furniture to have when the time comes. Great job on the build! :)
Stuffed Animal Cage
I followed this plan exactly and it fit in my Grand-Daughters room perfectly. She has a lot of toys and stuffed animals and she needed some place to put them all. I don't like the look of the pet nets and don't like that she couldn't reach her animals when she wanted them. This was a simple project that really didn't cost me anything because I was able to use wood that I already had left over from other projects. It turned out so good and will get so much use.

my picnic table
Very easy project to make. From leaving the house to get the wood, get home, make cuts and assemble was about 4-5 hours. I have used this website as inspiration for other projects, but this was the first that I just followed the plans and it turned out great!. Very sturdy and perfect size. My daughter in the picture is almost 5 and this is perfect for her and will last years for our youngest daughter.
I built a desk!
This is my biggest project to date. It's a great craft desk!
I used an oak project panel for the top, and pine for the rest. Finished with Rustoleum dark walnut, 2 coats of poly, and white paint.
Also, I'll probably revisit the hinge placement, adding another on each side.

Farmhouse Queen Bed and Kentwood Nightstands
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.

Farmhouse Bed with Storage!
We LOVE our finished bed. We started out to make the Farmhouse Queen Bed but decided after completing the headboard and footboard that we wanted some storage with it. We made the frame from the Farmhouse Storage Bed plans without the actual drawers. We wanted a more open look to the storage. We are pleased with the way it turned out and love that Ana shares these wonderful plans online. Thanks again Ana!
Triple Truss Coffee Table
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.

Grandson's Loft Bed
So, my grandson's room is quite small and my daughter was asking for advice on how to arrange things. I found this plan and figured it would be perfect! It was quite easy to build, but did take longer than I thought. We had three of us working on it and we build it over Labor Day Weekend. It isn't perfect, but my daughter says it just adds character. He loved the bed and the extra space to play underneath. It really did the trick to open up the room. Thanks Ana for all the great plans! You are my idol!! Now, I just have to build one for all the grandkids!

Double X Bench
I made this double x bench from plans from www.hertoolbelt.com
This is seriously easy to make.
It looks complicated but it really isn't.
I used the vaseline technique for distressing.
This bench looks amazing at the end of my farmhouse bed.
