I used Ana's queen size bed plan with a few variations. I used my local red cedar and  white spruce rough cut lumber scraps and lots of sandpaper. Rough cut lumber has differnt deminsions and it made for a very rustic sturdy bed with nice contrasting colors thoughour the projec. I love my new bed. 

My very favourite thing to build, so cheap and simple.

Took a lot more wood than I thought and time, but was a nice distraction from Law School.

I copied your plans with just 2 exceptions.  Instead of the shelf brackets to hold the wings up, I copied the idea from the Family Handyman Magazine.  Also, the sides where the boards would rest would get all chipped up in use, so I made them 3/4" shorter and added a 1 x 2 to protect the plywood underneath.

I have been dreaming about this piece of furniture for 3 yrs....I used Ana's plans for the rustic x console but took out the front middle support and made it a little deeper I also turned the 2x4 vertically and added an extra 2x4 behind it to add extra strength.....because I wanted to fit 3 baskets from Target underneath...the hutch i just winged!....Thank you so much Ana for giving me a place to start!...I am in love!......

This is such an easy and fun project! This is the second time I've made this cabinet. The first time I made it identical to the one in the plans but this one was for my 11yr old niece so I wanted it to look more girly and less rustic. I used hooks instead of nails which I really like. Thanks for such a great plan!

I wanted a sliding barn door concept but as a built-in piece. I had a drywall niche that the builders had made that I've always hated so I ripped that out, and used those measurements to create my version of the sliding door console from Nikki and Ana. This was a big project but so worth it! I ordered the door hardware from Amazon but had to drill my own holes because they did not line up where I needed them to be. 

Here is an industrial style coffee table I recently built.  I used reclaimed pallet wood for the top and shelves and I built the shelves to be removable if needed.  For the finish I used oil based poly in a satin.

Built for my daughters 2nd birthday. 

Using Ana's plan as a guide, I built two of these sofas to fit an outdoor cushion I already had. I used wood from our old deck -- a great way to re-use and save money, too!

I went ahead and splurged on this project. It's all oak with a clear finish to show off the wood. I also put full extension slides on all the drawers. The bed is solid. It doesn't move a bit.

Built this to go along with my son's new Chelsea loft bed so he'd have a place to set a glass of water and some books. I was able to use almost entirely scrap wood, except for the 1x4. Cutting and assembly took less than an hour, and the thing is rock solid. Sealed it with polycrylic, because it will probably get spilled on many, many times. Probably the easiest project I've done, and I think it would make a great starter project for anyone looking to try out using pocket holes for the first time.
