I bought this really cool print from a shop on Etsy, but I was having a hard time finding a frame for it My husband made the bed for his room too, and I wanted the frame to coordinate.

This was a simple project and really looks great in his room. We used an inexpensive pine and the same stain as his bed. I really wanted a green stain, but I couldn't find any like the type Anna used. This frame took just a little over an hour to put together.

We needed a sturdy surface for projects, and this did the trick. We have plenty of storage, so the bottom shelf didn't need all three 2x4 boards. We might make another one just to extend the space!

Made a gift for a Knicks lover. Used a dremel trio to etch in logo. Went back and forth on adding color and in end decided not to. But gave me another idea on my next logo table

I have wanted these shelves for a long time, I first saw them on a retailer's website but could never justify $400 for kids shelves. I absolutely love the bin on the bottom.

The plans for this project were very easy to follow. I don't own a table saw so I paid 25c per cut to have my local big box cut the MDF for me. I used 1/4" wainscoting for the back which was $20 for the sheet but I like how it finishes the back. My daughter's walls were lined with small bins of toys on the floor, I'm so glad to have her room cleaned up.

My Dad and I worked on this together.   First time making furniture and using a Kreg Jig.  So hapay with how it turned out!

We recently moved from our small Minneapolis Bungalow to an apartment in Maryland. It was the prefect opportunity to build the Farmhouse Table plans I had been admiring. When we went to my parents farm in North Dakota for Thanksgiving we spent a couple hours digging through the barn to find old barn wood for the project. The wood then made the 1,400 mile trek to our new apartment in Rockville. Yes, you read that correctly…the table was built in our carpeted apartment! No excuses people…you can make this table in your apartment! If you do not have access to a saw your local big box home improvement store can make the cuts for you. If you go that route the cut list Ana has will come in very handy!

I do a fair amount of woodworking, so I was able to complete the project in one day. If this is your first project I would allow a weekend to finish it.

I built this desk relatively quickly and it required very few tools. I discovered quickly how difficult it is to cut 2x4's with a handsaw so I would recommend having a circular saw or having them cut the wood at the store but it can be done. I did use a kreg jig for connecting everything and that is what made it so easy. 

I painted the bottom half and then stained the top. I think it turned out beautifully. I also added some metal to the edges not for strength but for style. This desk is VERY sturdy and I really like the massive amounts of space. 

Table came out great. I still have to throw the hardware on but couldn't wait to get it inside. I used an Espresso stain for the shelves and legs and an Ebony stain for the 2x2 trim and X's.
