Our version of the outdoor sectional. We couldn't find 24" wide pillows so we modified the design to accommodate 22"x24" ones. We also added a 1x8 held on with pocket screws to provide some additional support on the back and help keep the pillows from falling through.
Custom bench to fit dormer space.
Easy project that has helped us stay more organized. We use Cozi to maintain the calendar, but this allows us to highlight things that the kiddos need to know during the week. We keep the chore schedule, laundry schedule, meal plan, and out of routine activities on the week calendar so the kids can tell what is going on at a glance. The allowance is also hanging up at the top as an incentive to get their respective jobs done for the week. I used galvanized sheet metal glued onto a 1/4 inch plywood base and coated it with whiteboard paint. This allows it to be magnetic and easily written on. Love the letter holder for homework and important paperwork.
Things we have used it for so far:
Activity schedule (swimming lessons, soccer practice, etc.)
Meal plan
Unusual activities (parties, movie night, etc.)
School stuff (project due, spirit week, etc.)
Chore schedule
Laundry Schedule
Room of the week: what part of the house gets a deep clean this week.
Servant of the week: which kid is the designated helper for non-chore activities when an extra hand is needed.
We are still figuring out all the ways to use this to good effect, but the kids really like being able to see what is coming up in the schedule for the week.
I needed a small nightstand and was able to build this with wood left over from the Farmhouse table project, it's not perfect but I love it.
I made this a little shorter and less wide to fit between my two windows. Thanks so much for these plans!

Perfect solution for between the windows, thanks for sharing!
We needed a table to compliment our Apothecary cabinet we built prior to this project. We needed a big table b/c our furniture is so bulky. We have a 6 month old, and an 8 year old, so toy storage is a must. We built the table in one evening. We swapped the top trim 1x3s w/ 1×2. The bottom shelf only sits 1 inch from the floor, so I can fill it with itso bins for additional baby storage! The top board is not cut in half, rather we drilled 1 inch holes on both ends. You can’t see them in the pics, b/c I hid them, with the cutest thing ever, bear coasters. The coasters are too protect the table b/c we cant use poly here in the winter.
I wanted a David Bromstad cow rug & hubs said no. Bear Skin Rug style coasters for $20 from Urban Outfitters are our compromise. I love this table. It’s super heavy & I hope it lasts forever.
Super Easy.. I like it better without the doors. Recommend getting a KREG Jig. I have the Jr and it was perfect for this project.
I added metal corners made by bending 1 1/4 x 1/8 inch flat bar and attached with 1/4 x 1 inch lag bolts
Decided to build these as I could find anything tall enough to be bedside tables. Easy to follow plans that came together quickly.
Love your projects!
I designed these to specifically work for my homeschool storage needs. My husband built two of them for me and they are exactly what I hoped they would be! They're strong and heavy and sturdy and still manage to be stylish, I'm proud to look at them and have them in my home!!
This feeder worked out great for Sammy, who is about 95#. He seems a lot more comfortable now (and has started using his water dish instead of the toilet! ;) I wanted a more rustic look but wanted the easy clean up of tile on top.
My wife and I need a big dresser for the new addition to our home. So instead of a media console we turned this into a dresser.

Beautiful job!!! I am currently in the process of building the triple printers console as well. I love you choice of drawer pulls. I may have to reconsider my selection ;)
I built the Simple Bed for one of our kids and now we wanted a bunk bed. I saw many plans for bunk beds based on the Simple Bed plans, but I didn't want the ladder on the side. I made some changes and designed the bed in 3D using Autodesk Inventor. It didn't turn out much different than I planned. It's super heavy, but very stable. My wife did a great job on the stain.

The beds look amazing!
Did your wife stain the bed after it was assembled?
If so, how long did it take her to stain it?

When I was 8 months pregnant and going through my “nesting phase” I knew I needed to get my garage organized. Prior to building this, my tools were all over the place. To try to get it done before the baby came, I called my dad to help me out, and we built it together in just a couple days. It was a weekend I will never forget and I smile every time I walk into my shop knowing we did it together.
This is the first project my husband and I tried from Ana's site. We did add a foam on top and around the edges since we have two little kids running around. I then tufted it and absolutely love the way it turned out.
I took the plans for the large dog crate and adjusted them to fit my needs.
I made the "light entry" sections taller so that the inside would not be so dark, I used plywood with a routed edge for the top and stained it a red mahogany color and used polyurethane to seal it.
In the middle of my TV stand project my wife INSISTED we needed a stepstool for our 4(almost 5 and not the 11 month old in picture lol) year old. Only took maybe half a day to build and stain. Mainly due to the detailed step by step plans from this site. TY Ana!
We combined several ideas to create this built in mud room bench. I searched high and low for the design I wanted and loved Ana's hidden storage. It's perfect for off season stuff that would otherwise take up space in a closet. It's such a pretty, functional space that gets so much use.
