A little taller, and a different finish, but built from scratch inspired by your design. Thanks so much.
Modified Ana's plans to omit the chalkboard and make larger. Measures 75"h x 36"wide. All 1x2s, cuts are 2 @ 75", 2 @ 34 1/2", 2 @ 73 1/2", 2 @ 31 1/2".
This was our first ever building project. We our so happy with the results. Read more about it at http://www.sidetrackedsarah.com/2011/09/build-your-own-dining-room-tabl…

Wow guys, what a great job! And only 1 day, thats amazing. This is on our to do list as well but lots of other "important" kiddy things to do first :) Was there anything when building you would have done differently? Any tips you may have :)
I built this above toilet cabinet for my son and his wife for Christmas. They needed a little extra bathroom storage. Turned out pretty good.
My wife has been wanting a farmhouse table for our kitchen for a while...so I looked through this site to get some ideas and finally built her one she loves.
I combined two plans to make this and added my own touch to it as well. I am 6' 4" and wanted a taller table but I really like the farmhouse table. I found 35" turned table legs at Lowes that worked perfectly. I also found these really cool 2'X4' butcher block style spruce panels that worked great for the table top. I pocket holed 3 of them side by side to get the size I wanted. I built the frame out of 2X3's and trimmed them out with some molding. I had seen people blowtorch tables before and I thought it would look really good. I added the stain afterward to darken the color and it came out awesome. I painted the legs and frame white to match the trim and cabinets in my kitchen.

That is a great idea for the table top - using the panels, I mean. I never thought of that as an alternative to the long 2x boards. Great job!

I really aprriciate your comment. It was really easy to use the panels and it also eliminated the amount of pocket holes needed. It also made it alot easier to get a smooth and flush table top. The only downside is you typicaly want the wood grain to run the length of the table. Given the size of the panels I had to run the wood grain the other direction. I still like it but some wouldn't because of that reason.
While my vacation property was being built I got hooked on Ana’s plans. Farm table, followed by coffee and end tables and finally a fabulous pub table.
Can’t wait to entertain.

Great custom solution! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome project.
This spring, my neighborhood started a community garden. Five families came together to break ground, sow, tend, and give away our produce. The local church close by allowed us to use their front lawn for the "Lakeside Community Garden," located in Duluth, MN. Every Saturday during harvest season, we gave away our produce to the community. I took on the project of building a farm stand. One of our neighborhood families donated re-claimed lumber to the cause, and I started building. I had research many farm stands on-line, and knew I needed two large boxes to hold the veggies, as well as a sign to indicate what produce we were giving away.
I was looking to make my foyer a bit more kid friendly while still being coze and practical. I came across the modern farm bench plans, and I knew it was the perfect fit!
I have done a few other plans, but all with help. This project I started around 9 pm (after bedtime) one night, and by 11:30, it was completely built and stained. My son was climbing all over it by the next morning :)
I love it - I think it adds the perfect bit of rustic charm to my foyer, while still giving my little guy a sturdy spot to get his shoes/coat on. I have since added baskets underneath for winter storage.
This will definitely not be my last build! Thanks Ana!
We used Ana White's plans beginner farm table plans to build this table and can't recommend these plans more! Thank you Ana! The build took my husband and I two hours to build. The sanding, sealing, painting, stenciling, and finishing took several days, but the actually build was VERY easy and straightforward. We're total beginners, so we were very happy. The stencils are from Cutting Edge Stencils and are called "Indian Inlay Furniture Stencil Kit by Kim Myles."
Not as easy at it seems... but also, this was one of my very first woodworking projects.

This is an amazing first project! I love how it fits perfect in your space and the color. What a beautiful floor too.
This was my first Ana White plan after lurking for awhile! I’ve dabbled with other DIY furniture and woodworking plans but this my first one for indoors that required some more meticulous finishing. Super happy with how it turned out!

Wonderful job, it looks perfect there! Thanks for sharing.
My husband whipped this up in one day using Ana’s plan. This is my new favorite spot to relax.
Our son was moving into his first college apartment. The dining area is small and he thought a breakfast bar would be perfect in this spot. We built the base using Ana’s Counter Height Farmhouse Table for Four plans. We modified the plans to to fit the table top - which was originally the top of a desk. We purchased the desk at our local Habitat Restore. We planed to use the base of the desk for another project- so using the top for this breakfast bar was perfect! The breakfast bar was a perfect fit!
