Modern Farmhouse Bed Frame - with some added accents to match some other elements in the house - plan was so easy to follow and came together so well!! Thank you so much!!!!!
I needed a larger kitchen table to seat six and made the trestle table. Love it!

This is the second project I have made from this website, which I LOVE! I needed some sort of table to use with a large sectional sofa because I refused to give up my huge ottoman for a coffee table! This is perfect. I loved the brag post with the shelf added so I used that idea also.
When it came to decoration, I used some apple barrel craft paint and found some scrapbook paper I really liked. This was my first use of modge podge so it was not as flawless as I hoped but I still think it turned out well. And best of all it will be used often!
FYI - by saving money on the particleboard shelf, I ended up spending a lot of time applying wood filler.
Instead of using 1x3's for the legs we used two 2x4's for the outside legs and then used 1x4's for the fillers. We also used 1x4's for the ladder. We will be adding shelving against the wall and we have a desk top that has been painted with dry erase surface which will give it a whole new dynamic. Project one of many is done :)
A huge thank you for these amazing plans. I absolutely love this site! I had so much fun making this chest. Overall a very simple build. I struggled with the finish but eventually got it how I wanted it. I also ran into a snag while building the lid. I ran out of 1x6’s which resulted in the unique top you see in the picture made from scrap 1x4’s from other projects. On to the next project.
Directly from plan. Fun to make. Kreg and glue attachements.
This site features the queen size version of this headboard, I decided to build the King and use more elaborate molding pieces, which increased the cost. I stained the wood to a very close match although my mobile photos don't do justice to this claim. It took me about a week to complete with nights and weekend availability.

I love the way your headboard turned out. I would like the details on the wood used and measurements to make the king size version.

looks great. Did you use pine? Which stain did you use? I would like to be able to closely match the stained version of pottery barns addison too. Thanks!
Made this awesome project from Ana's plans. The best part is it came from old barn wood that has been stored for decades. Had to plane most of it to get it closer to dimensional size to work with the plans. I have had a lot of advice and recommendations from friends and family on how to finish it, but I like it perfectly natural with nothing added. The finished picture appears that it has a finish on it but it was just the difference in lighting.
Couldn’t find a coffee bar to fit my space so I modified the Snack Cabient plans of Ana White's! Looove how it turned out! The barn door hardware was fun!

We needed a coat rack in the mud room to go along with the X Bench that I built earlier. This was made from a drop of wood left over from the bench. I had the hooks left over from a project I made a couple of years ago. My wife says our mud room is now complete. I used the plans Entryway Bench and Storage Shelf I just didn't use the shelf part

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

I made this for my 3 kids for Christmas and I'm so glad I did! They have gotten so much use out of it and love to move it around to set up different "houses" and restuarants. Thanks so much for these plans! I made the pieces a little taller, and use the play stove as the sink base too so that it could double as a dishwasher :)
This was pretty difficult for a beginner, but only because I had never made something with a frame that had to be squared up. I didn't realize I need a big square and should have checked each join of the 2x2's to the plywood. Ended up that the center supports were not square but this was after I had already made doors and drawers. So I rigged them up with shims to make them fit better. However, I still think it turned out great and one day may take it down and fix it or sell this one and make another. I added tea stained vintage font numbers to the pulls. To me, this really made the piece special. I would suggest a little more instructions for doors and drawers. Ana has a great youtube on drawers I found today. I will definitely use that method next time.
I followed the plans exactly, except I didn't put the trim pieces on the lower shelves sides. I really like the way it turned out, and my wife painted it with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, color "Paris Grey" and then used Annie Sloan finishing wax (both clear and dark wax) to protect the piece and age it. I think it turned out great! Thanks for the plans!
Nothing was to difficult with these plans, at least not if you have a Kreg Jig. I would add that I used pocket screws on the top pieces not only to join them to the breadboard end pieces, but also to each other. That made it really strong!
To build this bed I combined the Camp Loft Bed with Stairs (Jr. height) plan with the height measurements of the Loft Bed. My son absolutely loves this bed!
Living on a small city plot, this vertical ladder planter was just what I was looking for to grow my herbs and flowers. I am not an experienced builder but the plans were easy to follow. It didn't take me much time at all to complete this project. Now I am looking forward to fresh herbs and flowers all summer.
I adjusted your Barndoor l Pantry plans to utilize repurposed lumber from a Murphy bed. The shelves are 22" deep for my microwave, toaster oven, etc. It's so functional and much easier to work in my small kitchen.

Love this stain and how it makes the grain stand out!
