Rustic X coffee table

This table was very easy to build. A little bigger than I expected. You can fit storage cubes in it perfectly.

We did some conversions to the smokehouse plans to make a locker for all of my horse tack! :)
I am totally in love with this design!! I added my own twist by painting the bottom “Gravelstone” to match with my kitchen cabinets and a simple “dark walnut” matte shine on the table top (1 coat). Once painted I sanded the edges and some of the legs to resemble antique wood. Looks fabulous!!

My niece is here for the summer! We needed a guest bed fast, that didn't take up an entire room! She chose this day bed!
Her bed is in the computer room, so there isn't enough room for a twin size bed. I modified the plans to fit a standard crib mattress. Now, when she isn't using the day bed, it doubles as a lounging spot to read. It is soooo cute!
For the storage baskets, I cut shipping boxes to size and mod podged fabric to them, and added some cute little knobs.

I'm wanting to do this exact same thing with a crib mattress. Could you provide the adjusted measurements you used?
Decided to use mortise and tenon on the chairs to make for a clean look since I was staining and not painting. I did use a lot of pocket holes on the table.
We needed a small shed to hold shovels and rakes along with a few other garden implements. This cedar shed has worked out perfectly. We made a few tiny modifications including a small shelf and plywood floor. Thanks for the excellent plans, as always.
Great wood bar stools!

Built my daughter the day bed, and my son needed his own bed. But with a 2 bedroom house they have to share a room for now. So I seen the loft bed and well this is what I came up with. I stained it cherry, and routed the edges to give it a little touch.

This looks great! I like the way you kept it simple yet more rustic type appeal without adding the top board (laying flat).

Thank you so much for these awesome plans. When I saw the original twin panel bed, I knew this was exactly what I wanted to build for my two daughters. I love super high head boards, and these are exactly that. I am in love. I did make some changes to the plan. I went with taller side rails, and used metal bed rail brackets. The brackets were super important. We move every few years being in the military, and I wanted something that would with-stand time and moves. I am also quite impressed how solid these beds are. I could never find anything this amazing in a store. I would also like to thank my husband for his help. It was our first build, but definitely not our last. Thank you!

Thank you for your very nice comments:
Here is some info, let me know if I can help further more.
This is what we used for the base molding and the headboard molding at the top. http://www.homedepot.com/p/House-of-Fara-5-8-in-x-4-in-x-8-ft-MDF-Base-…
For the the inner molding we used two pieces of molding: This is the style (link below) we used, but ours was a little bigger, 5 1/4 inches. Couldn't find it on the home depot website, but this is exactly the same style.
The addition molding below is a finishing molding that we had to use since the above molding was not flush to the back board. It finished really nice. Glad we added this addition dimension. You can easily skip using it with different "above" molding.

For the side rails we also used 10 inch boards. I thought it made the bed look more proportioned. I will add additional pics of the molding, so re-check pictures. Again, let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you! You are the one made it possible. We truly feel inspired when we look at your page. Thank you for sharing all your plans. You are the best.
This was a super fun project and didn't cost much at all.
Started with Ana's basic plan/dimensions. Changed the back legs to 1x6, added aa 2nd shelf and storage closet to hang hand tools/gloves.
The herringbone back was the most time consuming but the wife loves it. Will update after it's finished.
