Rustic Farmhouse Table with pocketholes and Special Walnut Finish
Make sure your wood is straight withno warping!
I made the fold down headboard to fit a California King bed and added a design to the panels using my vinyl cutter. The last picture continues to be flipped when I try to post it here sorry.

This is PERFECT. Would you mind sharing the name of the SVG you used for the stencil? I’d like to use it for a table I’m refurbishing. TIA!
I have always wanted to build some furniture. So, when we were looking for some nightstands for our bedroom and couldn’t find any we liked I found your Farmhouse Nightstand plans and decided to build them as a surprise gift for my husband for Valentine’s Day. I personalized them by adding an extra drawer and making them a little taller and wider to fit the space we had. We absolutely LOVE them! Thank you, Ana, for helping to make a dream of mine come true!

I bought a dining table set just for the chairs a while ago and the table legs have been sitting there ever since. The rest of the materials were scraps from the shop. I never worry about matching wood types if I'm planning on painting it. Everything matches when you paint over top of it.
The chair is something I made a while ago. I realized I didn't want to make 3 more after hours of just making one. That's why I bought that dining set in the first place.
I put together the flower storage table and the thumb chairs during the week leading up to our daughter's first birthday party. With a lot of older toddlers/kids at the party, the table served as a perfect coloring station in our basement (as you can see from the mahem/aftermath photo below). In any event, as my daughter is about to turn two, she has really grown into using the table and chairs for completing her own arts and crafts projects.
Modified top boards, 3/4 inch galvanized pipe as center support to reduce cuts needed, and casters so the massive thing can be moved.
I made this beautiful bed in just one (long) day (12h). The next day I made the nightstands with the scraps of wood from the bed.
Loved building this table. Look forward to building more! Thanks Ana!
Okay in all fairness to a woodworking site, I did not actually MAKE this shelf. However, I saw the plan for how to decoupage my scraps and thought hey I did something like this a few months back. I think I will take a picture and share what you can do with decoupage and some scraps.... did that make sense? Anyway, this is to give you an idea of something you can do!
So - found this shelf on the damaged section at Hobby Lobby for less than $20 in fact I think it was about $16 or so. It was missing 2 of the glass sections, one of the backs to the picture, and one hook. It also had some small places where the paint was chipped off. So I bought it with a great place to put it but no definitive plan on how to fix it.
Here's my rehab - filled in scratched spots with a black sharpie, it looks pretty good. Instead of trying to find glass/backs, I found some copyright free letters and had prints made of them (there is a whole folder out there on flickr of copyright free letter photos for personal use). Of course, I had to agonize over which ones to use and which had the correct orientation - I ended up with a metal stamped C, a concrete O, a wood carved a, a stitiched T, and a painted s. Then I took thin scrap board, cut them to size, and decoupaged the letters on to each board. For my final decoupage coatings, I used a small brush one way and then the other to give the product a canvas like texture. When that was dry, I sprayed it with a matte clear coat (if you don't do this over mod podge it has a sticky feel to it and dust/dog hair etc will stick to it). I put these little plaques in the holes of my shelf with tape. No glass needed when the decoupage is sealed like this.
Unfortunately, I could not find hooks to match the missing ones so I just bought new ones and will save the other 4 for some other project.
Hung it up and hung coats on it!
I made these boxes with my dad one afternoon. We had a great time! We wanted our herbs to be close to the kitchen and still get plenty of sun, so attaching them to the deck railing was ideal. I made them out of timber decking with pocket holes, and attached them to the railing with metal brackets underneath.
This was by Far The Best Sectional plans on the Net! Very Easy To Make! Thanks Anna white
This is my first big project. It took about 5 days with the help of my 3 yr old little boy. I made a couple of modifications. I took the size down to 6 ft to fit our current dining room. Essentially I just took 24 inches off of the table top and the long cross braces. For the diagonal cross pieces, I just clamped the wood on the side and marked where the cut was needed. Somehow though, I ended up needing 8 2x4’s... It turned out a lot better than I expected. Although I wish it was explained how they attached the table top. I ended just screwing in from the top. Wish there was a way to avoid this, and the ensuing shown screws, but it will do for now!
I built this from the Easy Kitchen Shelf Plan, but only used 3 2x6's as the top to make it 16.5" in width and shortened the length to 46" to fit the space.
I wanted to build something a little bigger than the Rustic X Console table. So my wife and I came up with the plans for this 5 shelf "Rustic X" Book Case. Took me about 20 hours to build over a three day weekend.

I like how your bookcase is wider but more narrow. Did you see these plans? http://ana-white.com/2013/08/plans/rustic-x-tall-bookshelf

What dimensions did you end up using?- the proportions look great! Even the shorter legs look great! And did you just use 2x6's for your trip on the top? We would love to follow your design to a t!

We were thinking of increasing the overall height to 84" and the width to 48" (keeping the depth) but weren't sure if that would mess up the ratio.

I think your looks much nicer than the original due to the finished top. It looks complete with the way you've made the overhang. How much of a overhang is it?
I love the rustic x console and coffee table but hated the bookshelf due to the odd looking top, thank you for your inspiration!
I started this project a few months ago for a friend. The build went easy enough and was complete is less than a day. The only issue I had was with the X's. My miter saw doesnt cut past 55 degrees and it called for 60 degrees. I had to eye it and the X's turned out less than perfect. It did give me a compelling arguement to upgrade from my 10" to a 12" sliding saw (we will see how that pans out). The finishing was the real problem for me. Ive had issues in the past with not liking the final color and having to sand the whole project over and over until I finally just settle. I was hesitant on the vinegar and steel wool finish but went for it anyway. The top turned orange, almost like a fresh cedar color. I whitewashed it the following day and roughed it up with some light sanding. It looked great. I added poly and the top turned orange again. It was horrible. I had to sand it and start over. I then went with a weathered grey with a whitewashed top coat and it looked great but my friend wasnt a fan. I sanded AGAIN and tried another color. Third time was a charm and the sunbleached stain with whitewash came close to what we wanted to acheive. He likes it, I like it, and eveyone is happy!
I built this for my 10 year old son. His room is not very big so this loft bed provides the perfect solution to freeing up floor space for playing.
I added some toy shelves to the side for additional storage.
The curtain, TV and gaming chairs turn the under the bed portion into his personal "boy-cave" gaming center.
Thank you for the easy to follow instructions. He loves it!
Chicken coop I made to look like a little red barn complete with a working barn door. We have seven girls and they love their lovely barn home.

This is my first Project :)
My husband built this Rustic X Console table to plan. We love it so much he is now building the coffee table and end tables to match (and I may convince him to build the bookcase too!)
This was a very quick and easy build that was completely finished in an afternoon. My Kreg jig was loaned out, so I have exposed fasteners, but I prefer to let them show instead of filling the holes. I built this with 20" legs to make it a little taller and more comfortable for my height. I also prefer straight lines and angles, so I changed the trim pieces a bit to suit my style. The hardest part was getting the drawer slides lined up. The finish is Rustoleum Heirloom White with a coffee colored glaze. The picture makes one drawer look darker, but it's really just a shadow. I'm in love with this project!
