Used your idea of a grazing board or charcuterie Board to build one for my daughter for Christmas. I have made some cutting boards for her in the past but now she has a charcuterie board for the specific purpose.
I built this to house some free lettuce seeds. Please see the full story on my blog!
Bristol chairs with an attached side table. I added a planter box under one of the boards to fill with ice and beverages.
Used repurposed lumber for most of the project. Only thing I bought was the cedar pickets. This project cost less than $9
I also chose to cut the tops off and add mitered boards on top.
We doubled the height and added another shelf! Amazing build and amazing plans! Thank you!! This was our first build. We are novice
This was my first big project. I am a total beginner and was mot sure how it would turn out. Your plan was so easy to use. I am very happy with how it turned out and am excited for future projects.
It is a friend's birthday on 5/6 and I noticed she didn't have a nightstand so instead of buying a present, I decided to make her a nightstand. I really liked how the person who built "Lee and Beth's Simple Nightstands" used bead-board on the sides, and I have a lot of bead-board left over from our master bathroom renovation, so I decided to use it, too, and that way I wouldn't have to buy the wood for there, because I didn't have any extra plywood to use there. I also used the bead-board on the back and as the bottom of the drawer.
It looks more modern-cottage than it does modern, like I wanted, but it still looks good.
Pictures are of what it looked like pre-sanding and wood-filling, with 1 coat of the stain on it, and then finished with white paint.
With the combination of scrap wood and new wood, I only spent $20 on new wood for the project, and $5 on the drawer pull!
For the top, instead of a 1x12 and 1x3, I used a 1x12 and and then flanked it with 2 1x2s - for a more balanced look. I also cut the 1x12 at like 19 1/2 inches instead of 18 1/2.
Ana thank you for the wonderful plans. It was my first major project, and it will not be the last. I purchased your book this weekend and love it!!! Thank you for all you post to your site.
I changed up the plans so this table would fit my space better. This was my first time building with a Kreg jig and a miter saw(I'm a newbie). Love how it turned out!
Finally got around to getting my daughter's closet organized. Made some adjustments to the plans to better fit our size needs. Everyone in the family is very happy with how it came out.
I’ve made a couple of items from the website but this is one of my favorites and I’ve got a bunch of family orders for next year.

Looks great and you will make many people happy to have their own!
I used the Rhyan end table plan (with a few alterations) to make my nightstands. I changed the dimensions so mine turned out to be 20”D, 25”W, 27”H, I extended the side and back panels all the way to the top to close in the shelf and I made the bottom drawer larger. I decided to use under mount drawer slides but I think I will try out the side mount slides in the future though.
I wanted them to match the headboard and bench that I made for my bed so I added the same molding that I used on those pieces to finish it off.
I pre cut every piece for the main body of the nightstand and predrilled all of the Kreg holes which made it a really quick piece to put together! I purchased the Mini Kreg jig for this project and am so glad I did. Totally worth the money!
It was time for potty training and when it came time to wash her hands her arms were a little too short. So I threw this step stool together over a few hours and with the little one being a Minnie Mouse fan I had to add the Mickey head. Great project for those wanting something easy and quick.

Is there any instructions or measurements anyone can provide me with for this project?
I've made a couple of tables from this plan now, and I love the simplicity of it. I changed the top to 1x4, 1x6 so that it doesn't look so bulky.
Built and painted to match toy bin.
We enclosed an unused wet bar and then I built the shelves to make it into a pantry.
I built my first daybed in May of 2010, and my second one in August of 2010. I've since moved one of the daybeds to my new nursery I'm creating. These beds are so versitle, so sturdy, and can be moved anywhere and 'go' with whatever decor. I love both of them!
This was my husband and my first DIY project and we were thrilled at the outcome! It took us a day to build and then a couple days to stain and paint.
Built this industrial coffee table without plans
My version of the Grandy Sliding Door Console. My modifications:
- Length 6.5 feet long (instead of 90inch). Same height and depth.
- Bought hardware from amazon, purchased hardware is larger than the plans call for. Changed face frame top from 1x4 to 1x6 to create clearance for the wheels and top overhang.
- Wanted a deeper top so I added a 2x3 between the two top boards. I did this also for looks! It stained so nice!
- Modified the mounting spacers for the rail to allow the door to hang closer to the cabinet.
Advice: Pay attention to the size of the hardware.
If buying door hardware make your door close to the same thinkness as a standard interior door. This will help them hang correctly and close the space between the frame and the door.
Lastly, use pocket holes!
Simple design and fun to build. I did not however use the turned legs. I made a jig and went with tapered legs.
