We bought our adjustable bed and needed something to make it look better. I loved this bed and modified it to fit our needs. It was easy to build and really made such a difference in our room!
I changed a few things and it's not 100% finished, but far enough along for some production to start. It takes a LOT of dirt to fill this and I only made it 400mm high.
Xl farmhouse style dog crate table with metal bars.
There are three plans combined here in this picture. All three completed in the past year. The toy boxes are from the one plan, the cubby shelves from another and finally the dress up stand is the third. It is never this tidy in our playroom! Ah ah, what you cannot see is the other half :D But the girls do enjoy it quite a bit and it does keep most toys off the floor and easily accessible. Thanks Ana for a great variety of plans!
Made a few changes to the cuts on the supports as I made a mistake on the mitres. However, it worked out and added a different look than the plan's design. (notice pointed mitres on supports)
Can't believe I did it myself without hubbys help at all!! Wasn't expecting to like the outcome, much less LOVE it!!
I made my stain with grey paint and special walnut stain...came out beautifully!! I used Behr white paint on the base and grey paint as the glaze. I got the knobs on sale at Hobby Lobby and painted them a dark silverish color. The inside of the box is the same as the top.
I will say this is far from perfect...but I learned a lot and know I will do even better on my next project ;) Thank you for these plans!! Can't wait to build more!!
Potting table, was easy to build, very strong and stable because of the size of the wood used. It's a big table -- an entire dog fits inside :)
Modifed the Rustic X console to fit the width of den area's windows. Wife wanted storage, I needed a project.
Table was really fun and difficult to complete. It took me about 30 hours to complete. However, it is a real hit in the neighborhood. I used pine and some of the material was really soft and difficult to sand/finish. Decided to paint the pedestals chalk white (wife's inspiration), which was a really good choice. Fitting the center sections of table top to frame was most difficult aspect of project. Thanks Ana for the inspiration!

This rustic bench is perfect for our remodeled bathroom. It is made from post oak lumber harvested from my property and milled myself using a friend’s sawmill. No stain, just polyurethane.
I was looking for a "super easy console table" and once I was ready to build it, I mustered the confidence to try a more complex table top design. Using pocket hole joinery, 2"x2" legs and supports, scrap 1"x2" "blocks" for the herringbone pattern, scrap 1/2" 8"x4' plywood, 3/4"x1/2" pieces to frame the top, and much wood glue, I built this 8.5" narrow console table for under $30. The plan shared on this site was one of the inspiration pieces that helped me believe I could do this too!

I'm going to have to copy you now, you know! What a fabulous idea, fabulously implemented!

=D It was satisfying to make, although watching glue and wood filler dry made me feel like I was the most impatient person in the world. Thank you for your kindness!
My master bath was in desparate need of storage, and as usual, it was Ana's site to the rescue. I built this Ladder Shelf exactly from Ana's 'Painter's Ladder Shelf' plans. I built and had it painted in about 2 days. Now I finally have a place to store towels. Thanks again, Ana!
We altered the plans to match our kitchen island to our 10-seat farm table my husband made. The top design is a replica of our table. We then added some wrought iron hooks and iron bottle opener for detail as well as corner plates to match our dining table. We decided to leave out the drawers and add a little open cubby for storage instead. Will look great with our rustic, country theme in our house!
I made this kitchen cabinet to replace the one we had there. The one we had was originally a peninsula. We had a severe water leak and had to replace the wood floor. We decided to swing the peninsula against the wall under the wine rack I made and posted earlier. The peninsula cabinet had some pretty severe water damage and only had 1 drawer and cabinets. We didn’t like having to dig for things so I made all drawers and we love it. I made this from pine using some of the techniques I learned from Ana and have incorporated into my other projects. I used Kreg’s pocket hole jig for almost all the joinery and Kreg’s drawer slide jig for the drawer slides. I used Hickory ball bearing, soft close drawer slides. It is painted Rust-Oleum Heirloom White satin with a semi gloss poly.
this project called for sewing the cushion covers, but i was to lazy to take out the sewing machine, so instead I stapled the fabric and it turned out pretty good if I do say so!! thanks for the plans!!

Oh, very nice! I am making one of these right now. I need to go out to get the foam before I can proceed. I'm excited. It's great to see how nice yours turn out!
Well this was definitely the most challenging so far because we decided to modify the kitchen island plans to incoporate the tilt out trash bin. Very pleased with the results. Extended the back of the island to accomodate a 11" deep trash bin. Slim trash cans fit perfect. Found a gift wrapping bin for half price after Christmas and it is a perfect fit and 13 gallon bags fit great.
The x's were definitely a challenge because it changed the angles and it would have been best to just mark it with the board before finishing the whole box.
Now we just need to paint the cabinets and change the countertops and paint the kitchen walls. Not happening anytime soon, but at least the island is done.

Thanks Ana! We love your site. We've never built anything before finding it a couple months ago and now we can't stop.
Loved the ease of making this chair but the modern look needed to be adjusted. 1x4, 1x5, 1x6.... tried a bunch and landed on 1x5’s and couldn’t be happier. Easy to do a chair in a day start to finish (build, sand, paint, dry, protective coat).
7 ft long gigantic sideboard. Removed the options for the drawers and extended the cabinet doors for extra storage needed. My favorite project to date.
Built this pet kennel end table from Ana's plans for my dad for Christmas. Only changes I made were to the dimensions to better fit my dads mid-sized dog and the top which I made by laminating a few boards rather than sheet material. Everything but the side panels is oak. Plans were really simple and I'm really happy with the finished product. As soon as I revealed it on Christmas morning his dog knew who it was for and ran right in and laid down with his new bone. Very awesome payoff to say the least.
This built was easy with Ana white blue prints I used 2x10 for the top and also made the matching bench.
thanks Ana white
