I built a floating bed using Ana's plans. In my case, I built a twin size bed which now my daughter enjoys every night. The bed turned out beautiful and very sturdy.
This was a gift to my good friends son. She said he needed a desk for his homework, but I hear he's using it as a dinner table. :) It was a fun project.
I have always loved benches at the dining table. They are so practical for cleaning, kids, and for cramming extra people at a table! We are (mostly) happy with our current table, but I was so sick of 6 clunky chairs floating around my kitchen, and these benches were the perfect solution. They were very simple to make and are exactly what I wanted!
I mixed my own color of stain for the top board from two Cabot colors (Golden Oak and Walnut) to create a color that break up all the oak in the room, while still fitting in. I painted the bases of the benches a creamy ivory for the same reason, to break up all the oak, and distressed the edges lightly.
I omitted the "x" feature in the plans because I was happy with the look of just the board along the bottom.
I decided to build the art table and use it as a lego table instead. I had a piece of 3/4" maple plywood left over from a previous project, so the only thing that I had to buy were the 1x4's and lego plates.

This is an awesome build! Your little one is too cute!
Used Maple on top with pine for the frame. Thanks Ana-White!

Oh wow, I love this version of this console! You did such a great job customizing it to your needs ☺
Inspired by the modern farmhouse railing we decided to install the same style on our deck. Our old railing was aged an deteriorated. The project took about two weekends, one to treat the metal with black magic, another to build the actual railing. We love how it looks!
These shelves were easy to make and are sturdy also. I haven't gotten frames for my pictures yet - I was so excited to hang up my shelf.
One of my first projects and I really felt like I had good cuts, however it was still a real challenge for me. I ended up doing the bottom in white to hide some of the errors. In the end I am happy with the resultes.
Essential Low Bunk Bed by Brian James
We looked high and low for a sturdy dresser we could convert to a vanity for our kid's bathroom. We could find nothing for under $500 so we decided to make it. We used solid hickory for the top and bottom and hickory vaneer for the rest. Only the middle drawers are useable, the side ones have a faux front to leave room for the sink plumbing behind. My husband also reinforced the bottom compartments by making them three separate compartments instead of one solid one. We ordered the sinks from overstock.com and the faucets are from Lowes.

My kids have been bugging for years for double sinks. I LOVE this. I was thinking along the same line but never got past the thinking part. This is GORGEOUS!
Solid wood is an amazing material because it can be cut, re-shaped, extended, filled, sanded, stained, painted, and essentially re-used almost endlessly.
Last week, I took old cabinet doors (from when we gutted the mouse-hole kitchen cabinets that used to be in our apartment before we moved in) and turn them into a free cubby for my daughter's closet. :)

Beautiful Cubby from old doors! The trim adds elegance with the white color and it fits perfectly. Looks adorable! :)

Mahalo, Joanne! :) I'm looking forward to your great builds coming up! =D
I used Poplar for the top and Pine for everyting else. Only took about two hours from start to finish. This is my first project using a Kreg Jig and now I don't know why I didn't get one of these years ago!
I adapted the plan to make a stand for our printer and shredder. Except for one board, I was able to use scraps so my total out of pocket was $9! I did plane the 2x material to 1 1/4”, and also used 2x material for the base to add a little strength to hold the shredder. Thank you Ana White, for generously sharing your plans!
Dinning Table in honey brown finish!
This was made with the Farmhouse Bed Plan.
Woodworking runs in my family, but this is my first item built from scratch.
We decided to leave it bare for a while. It looks beautiful as is.

I will be building this with modifications to the headboard. I'm going to put baseball bats in-between the 4x4's as the header.
Utilizing the Hannah Canopy Bed plans, I made 2 changes that I am really glad I made. First, I added bead board to the headboard to give it a little style instead of the flat plywood. Second, I used 2x4's on all 4 corners because I could not find any 2x3's that were anywhere close to being straight. Overall I love the final project! It was nice, simple, and quick to get it all put together!
The only difficult part of this plan was making sure all the cuts were precise and fit together as they should.
This is my first wood project, and first time using a Kregg jig. A HUGE THANK YOU TO ANA! Next is the matching end table and then outside chairs and a pagoda.
