Rolling Sofa Table
![](/sites/default/files/3154808847_1334786150.jpg)
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.

Loft Bed

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 :)
California Beach Farmtable
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_0097_0.jpg)
I built this farmtable using old fashioned methods of tongue and groove, biscuits, etc. It was a true labor of love but it came out great. The stain I made using vinegar, steel wool and water. I the protected it with spar urethane. Next project is the chairs and benches. Thanks Ana for the inspiration.

Addison Headboard - King Size
![](/sites/default/files/3154841372_1391558855.jpg)
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.

King size measurements
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.

Stain color?
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!
Built in Secretary hutch
![](/sites/default/files/secretary.jpg)
Wanted a builtin hutch change the plans a little for depth and height. I used tempered glass instead of lexan for the last ability as lexan discolor and looks a little cheap. Mostly red oak plywood, but choose hard wood for shelves so they wouldn't sag and small desk drawers and doors because it was easier to buy it cut and cost effective. Wish I would have done the drawer faces hardwood also. I used maple on the bottom and decided I wanted more grainy look so finished the desk and top with redoak. Matches bottom trim which was red oak. Special ordered old style secretary desk hinges. I had them played $60 for both. I liked the look and they are stable. Time consuming building but impressive when done. Don't know why photos alway turn up sideways, tried flipping them and saving them same result...

Coat Rack
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

Thanks Ana! You really were…
Thanks Ana! You really were my inspiration to try and build furniture. With every build I’m getting more comfortable. I talk about you all the time when people ask where I learned... Ana White!
Thanks again.

Modifications
What kind of mods could you add in order to open the table top for a bin. Nothing deep, but a great place to keep a firearm, hide remotes etc.

Camp Loft Bed (modified height)
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!

Three-Legged Stool
![](/sites/default/files/image_500.jpeg)
My 13-year-old daughter asked me about making a stool, with the main requirement being it had to have a round seat. So I turned to this ana-white.com to see if I could find something that we could do and found the plans for the three-legged stool. The first one we made with the dimensions specified in the plans but she thought it was too short. So we made another one with longer legs and a larger diameter seat.

Housewarming gift, Dining Table
![](/sites/default/files/3154841741_1392480903.jpg)
So my son and daughter-in-law have a new home, and lots of empty space. I told them to find a table they liked and I'd try to make it for them. They liked the PB benchwright table (http://www.potterybarn.com/products/benchwright-dining-table/http://www…) with the iron support pieces. I had to get creative for those using electrical conduit and some plumbing pieces that I spray painted black. I finished it exactly like Jen of House of Wood (http://jenwoodhouse.com/blog/2013/06/07/diy-dining-table/) and it turned out beautifully!
It was a fun project and they love it.
