My husband and I decided to make an entertainment center from the Apothecary Console plans. We mostly followed the plans, but wanted it to be taller than the original in case we want to use it in a dining room as a buffet in the future. To do this we just added another level of drawers. I wanted the drawers on the bottom to be wider, so each of them is four false front's wide. The wood on top is walnut from some trees my dad cut down over 25 years ago. We wanted more of this to show than would have if we followed the original plan, so we put a two inch trim piece around it. I really wanted card catalogue drawer pulls but couldn't find any that were dark that were at all "cheap"...so I bought gold ones online and spray painted them with a "hammered" spray paint which worked really well.
I built this table in one day by myself. Well, just me and these three kiddos. We were at Home Deopt selecting wood at 9am and by 7pm they were sitting on a finished table. Thank you so much for the easy to follow plans, Anna!
Made the planters to hold flowers for a small garden wedding. Used 3-1/2" wide fence boards as my HD was out of standard 5-1/2" boards. Used 11 boards for finished height of 38" top was 18" wide, bottom 12-1/2" using a 4° angle. Ripped fence boards to size to use in place of 1x2/1x3 boards. Added center trim as on another brag post, as well as, framed the top to finish off the planter.

I really liked the barn door entertainment center! I attempted to make my own hardware for the door. It didn't turn out as planned. So I had to come up with a different design. This is what I came up with. I love it!

Thank you!! It can fit up too a 55 in TV. We have a 50in TV.
I have too many scraps … and a granddaughter with a 2nd birthday coming up soon … so spent a couple hours cutting the pieces … took extra time since i was trying to make scraps work … but it still came together well. I had trouble making pocket screws work on this project … but the design makes it easy to bury and cover regular screws.
I used the Farmhouse Bedside Table plans as a starting point for this Christmas gift project for my husband. I removed 5" off the legs, omitted the shelf and doubled the width so that it would hold 30 DVDs in the drawer. I wanted something unique for his man cave and coming from England this seemed a great way of introducing our heritage without being overpowering in the room. Great project plan and easy to follow and only took a day to make including the painting time.
Made exactly as according to Ana Whites plans. Easy to build and very pretty once completed

After searching for the perfect bed (quality bed) that didn't cost a fortune and after discovering Ana's site a while back I got the nerve to try to build my sons bed! My husband help me cut the large pieces and figure out how to use a Kreg Jig.It was really easy and fun!!! Thanks for the plans and the inspiration!
I built the cherry stained easy kitchen island for my own kitchen... After friends and family looked at it, my daughter' smother (of course my ex) asked if I could buiild her one... we love both of our "islands" even though we both have them along walls in our homes... I added a second shelf for extra storage but it's great for what I call a grocery drop off point... Very sturdy and they both compliment our kitchens... I don't have a picture of it in her home (both of these were in my home on different floors of the house) but she says it matches well with her oak cabinets... Hope you like them :)
My dad helped me build this. I wanted to make one out of crates similar to another post but we decided on plywood and my dad wanted to play with the portable saw he bought me. We customized it for my space and didn't use any plans. I think it turned out nicely though I may need another for all my other shoes!
Simple and easy
I wanted to make a table for our daughters birthday to put a spread of food on.
I went out in search for pallets and threw a quick sketch together and brought it to life.
Currently it is my computer table, but only for the next week then on to it's purpose.
Start to finish took 3 days

How many coats of the Polyurethane did you use? I just finished with my first build. I have painted, stained, and put 2 coats of the Polyurethane on it. The table is still very ruff and it just overall doesnt feel finished. Im not sure what I should do...

So I forgot I had my account. My advice might be a little late but we used 3 coats on that table. We normally go through the grits prior to starting the staining process. 150...220...300 after every coat do a very light hand sanding till it is smooth but try and avoid putting too much pressure. Then give it a wipe down with a damp cloth and let dry before applying next coat. 3 is a good amount of coats for something indoors like this one. Again so sorry I did not get back sooner. I use pinterest more for putting up my project images.
Could not find cedar fence pickets that did not have dog ears. Used 1”x6”s instead. That also helped with strength. Followed your directions and then added a top “shelf” and stained the planter. Lots of fun.
I was inspired by the Christmas stocking holders, so built my own from all scrap wood.
