Awesome project
We moved into our new home. The hallway looked dark and gloomy. I decided wainscot the hallway. I brought 2x6 and 2x8 for hallway. Started installing on the wall and framed out the wall after completing the wainscot still didn’t look to my satisfaction. I then changed the carpet and installed laminate flooring. Everyone who comes to our home loves the look.
This was not built using one of Ana's plans. I have a book of 2X4 projects that my daughter gave me and actually got me started woodworking. This beauty was one of the projects. It was easy to build and easy to put together but not easy to paint. The lattice was the cheapest she could buy and was "furry". I tried sanding which took forever but it was still a mess to paint. I am including the link to the plans: http://woodtools.nov.ru/projects2/WoodPlan/lattice-bower.pdf
If you build this be sure and sand and paint before putting together-it's so much easier.
It looks amazing in her backyard and she is loving it.
This was my first building project and I needed help with the assembly. Also, I used an oil based polyurethane that changed the beautiful blue color to a dingy yellow. So after it was assembled, I sanded it down, giving it a rustic look, and sprayed two coats of Rust-oleum over the entire bench. We also added an extra shelf.
I was inspired by Ana to DIY and save a lot of money. I bought $17 plywood which was the cheap stuff. Lots of knots and rough. I sanded the plywood and cut it into 8 inch planks. I rounded the edges and stained it one time. I nailed it directly to the subfloor and used liquid nails as a second bonding agent. After the floor was nailed in I re stained it and applied 9 coats of flooring poly. It turned out so good im doing the entire 1400 sq feet upstairs of my home! I plan on making many of Ana's furniture projects to fill the rooms once its all complete!

Wow. This looks great. I wanted to go with wood floors, but instead my husband chose with laminate flooring. How does it hold up being plywood?

All of the wood is recycled from pallets. The hardware is also recycled from old kitchen cabinets. All sides of the cabinet are paneled with planks of pallet wood. The plans were awesome to follow! After a certain point though, I had to go rogue because I was using different wood.
I built the simple 2x4 potting table out redwood in 6’ length.
Ana, I want to say how inspirational you have been to me over some years. I think my first project found on your website was a chicken coop. More recently I have built the large garage workbench system with 2 rollout workbench/storage units (still in progress). In the past few weeks I have built the Adirondack chairs. The Adirondack chairs spurred me to continue building a “park like” setting in my small backyard. This includes a park bench (to match the Adirondack chairs), a park style grill, and a water fall. The waterfall is fairly simple (now that I have done it once - ha).

I slightly modified the plans to give them more of a "Saddleback" style. I used a 2x10 for the seat, then belt sanded for an hour to give it the concave shape.
My wife wanted a dresser and a bed for our two year old foster daughter on her second birthday. Since half the dresser drawers are not useful for a toddler I considered a Captain's Bed or Mate's bed but couldn't find one. I modified the Traditional Wood Toddler Bed plan adding drawers underneath and painted it white. My little girl loves it. It turned out nice enough that my oldest daughter asked me to make another for my grandson since his convertible bed will be converted back to a crib with a new granddaughter on the way. Her only request was to color it Espresso Brown. I have included the picture. Thank You for the ideas. God Bless You and your faimily
I made the Traditional Wood Toddler Bed in a weekend and it turned out great! I did add a twist though: A chalkboard replaces the wainscot!
After realizing how much solid bed frames were selling online, I started googling. Thankfully I came across the farmhouse design! It was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Total for wood and paint etc was approximately $400.

I had to take 2 redwood trees down last year so I learned to mill my own lumber. This picnic table is my first attempt at furniture. The dimensions of the wood is beyond "full" so a cutlist would be meaningless. For reference the table top boards are 2.25"x9.25"x7'.
The inspiration is from the Fancy X Farmhouse Table project on this site.
I don't know how you would price or time this because I started from logs 8^)
This site is awesome!

The table is simply beautiful! I love the natural color of the wood. It looks indestructible.
My gorgeous desk.

Hi Ana, this is not your design but one I just made up. The timber is Queensland red cedar and about 30 years old, I was given a tree and had it cut up. Came out great

Made the table runner from cherry for my wife for Christmas. We have lots of Department 56 pieces and no place to show them in our new and smaller home.

I built the table to use in my garage but it came out so beautiful that I now find myself wondering who to give it to. I followed the plans except I used 1x3s instead of 2x6s or 2x2s for the trim between the legs. I built the top first using pocket holes and then added the legs. I then added the side trim before adding the joists. That process had every board fitting perfectly. No attachments are visible from the outside. I attached the legs using pocket holes and three inch screws and glue , of course.
I will build two benches which should be a snap.
I had no luck finding a 10 foot 4x4 so I bought two 8 foot. Got a good deal at HD with each less than $8 each
Built these as a birthday present for my friend, based on an image she'd pinned a year ago. Read more about it here.
