Farmhouse tables I built thanks to Ana whites plans on her website makes building a lot easier knowing what materials to buy. I look on here all the time for new projects.

We needed a guest bed for our guest bedroom. So I built the storage areas under the bed out of plywood and boxed them up. The bed would probably look better with a headboard, but we decided to just do that curtain style headboard.

I had seen different beds similar to this, and I just had those in mind when I started. I didn't follow any specific plan except for what I had in my head.

It was painted with an oil-base white paint.

I could have sworn this project was inspired by a stool I saw on here but I just spent way too long trying to find it.  I wanted these to match our bed frame, which is really tall combined with our mattress.  We needed stools that could be comfortably stood on with two feet, but could also slide under the bed when not in use.  This was my first "finished" DIY project besides a dog house I made from plans from Lowe's.  This was the first time I planned it and created it myself.  They are very sturdy and look like they came with the set.  I am very happy with them. I took my time on them because I was doing a lot of learning and wanted to get it right.  I distressed the wood with chisels, files and carving knives.

My husband and I built beds for our daughters' american girl dolls for Christmas. It was the first time we'd ever built anything and we learned a lot. So fun!

I changed the dimensions to fit the entire width of my framed pea gravel patio and stenciled a design on the table top.

Made this as an entry table did the drawers out instead of in like the plan. Love how it turned out!

I made this for my granddoughter.  

This was my first real woodworking project. This design was perfect for my one year old niece. Used Rustoleum Chalked Linen White and Clear Matte Topcoat. Made sure to use Zissers Bullseye on all the knots in the wood so they wouldn't bleed through, although I should have primed the entire piece. Pretty simple to make, with the angled cuts being the hardest. Found the label holders at Hobby Lobby in the scrapbook section. 

The craft table was based on the Modern Craft Table plans and heavily modified to be at regular seating height. We also added a pull-out iron table based on plans from Made by Marzipan. The pictures are kinda deceiving, but the ironing table does push all the way back in the table and it only juts out just to show it :) Check out our blog post for more:

These shelves were easy and easy to customize the size according to your needs.  They are fun to decorate and add a rustic flair to my living room.

I found the plans for this bed on this site and was sooooo happy. i was looking for a unique bed for my daughter. I had searched beds for girls and cam across castle beds. I found some pretty extravagant beds costing $20,000 by personal designers and then I found beds from $1,000 to $5,000 buy it and put it together and THEN I found this plan. People asked me if I had experience in building anything. The answer was no BUT I CAN do it!. Plus the plans were very easy to read and understand! My daughter is beyond excited! She can hardly contain herself! THANK YOU!

Love this plan and the table and bench turned out exactly as I hoped.  I did it by myself except for a little heavy lifting from my sweetheart. I researched the finish online and I am so happy with the results.

Very easy, completed with just a work bench, circular saw, clamp and screws - I painted mine after assembly, used small brush to get in between, then a roller to finish. Next one will be MUCH easier! I also sanded all the edges of wood, to give it a "worn" look. Three more to come, enjoy the process.....
