I built my wife a barn door wall mirror for our anniversary. But then got this crazy idea attach a shadow box to display wedding dress. Project get wedding dress out of closet!!
I started with the Rustic X Hall Tree plan and modified it to 43" width to fix the space. All X's are half laps cut on the miter saw.

Thank you for sharing! If you uploaded a brag post of 2 end tables, I was working on fixing the sideways photo and accidentally deleted it. If that was yours please reupload!:) Sorry!
So easy to build and soooo functional. The plans include both the bench and the shelf, but I just didn't have any room for the bench or I would have built that too.
My wall was too short to fit the original shelf, so I modified this to work with the space available. It's about 10 inches shorter and only has two cubbies.
This is a great starter project.

I really like that. I'm going to have to make one. Nice job.
Easy bench to build with my son! added double legs for more stability, just glued two together and followed all directions.
We had a great time making this desk! I was so thankful for the inspiration and now I have a new favorite spot in our home.
We wanted a large buffet for our hall and these plans were perfect. We modified the design to fit our needs, and painted the buffet a wonderful pop color that matched some accents throughout the house.
What really brought the project together was the herringbone top. We used 7 different species of wood sealed with poly and then finished with wax.

This piece is one of the most stunning I've ever seen! Thanks so much for sharing a brag post!

Thanks and thank you for always sharing incredible plans! Ever since I saw your miter station with carts I’ve been obsessed.
This is my first outdoor furniture project, learned much from Ana's plan and my own mistakes. Used Cedar as material which total to ~$500 and ~$200 on cushions found as discontinued items from AtHome.

WOW, you did amazing, thank you so much for sharing!
I mostly followed the directions as provided. My only changes were using hickory instead of pine, it is a nicer wood and it only added $6 to the project. I also put non slip pads on the bottom of the bottoms and used 14 feet of fabric in place of curtains. It is a very quick and inexpensive project that my kids have been getting a lot of enjoyment out of.

where or how did you make that cool mini/toy "tree house" in the background!!?!
I made it a little different, with a small door on the bottom as a little storage.
I loved making this for my kid, and as my first project ever I feel very proud of it.
I don't remember the exact amount of hours it took because I had little time to work on it (maybe 3 hours/week) so it took quite a bit of weeks to complete but it was really easy and fun! :D
I like how it's tall enough for my 2 year old to play standing, before we had a plastic one that was very very short, also it's sturdy enough for climb on it. xD
By the side I made a super easy, varnished, cupboard, following the same main steps from the stove, I only didn't put a front door and added on one side a towel holder and on the other side a small shelf/bar table
This was our second dresser build, but the hardest. I don't know why we had so much trouble with the tracks but we did. We cheaped out and bought the cheapets option and then decided to wrap them out and by the more expensive option - which would of saved us so much time in the first place.
I built this bed for my daughters new “teen” room!! She loves it and I loved the cost and look if it ;)...

This bed is beautiful!!! Great job! It's perfect in your teen's room!

The bed looks great! What type of stain did you use?
I saw Ana's plans for the farmhouse bed a couple years ago I think and have wanted to build one ever since! My husband and I were moving over to Oregon from Scotland though so our timing wasn't quite right... in the end though, I waited until I was 8 months pregnant to do it! We raised the footboard to be about bar height (hung our stockings from it at Christmas) and used carriage bolts and routed out the 4x4 posts to make the bed modular. We also used a forstner bit to drop the screws and plug cutters to make a nice cover up for them... If I could do it over I would have used wood conditioner first before staining to achieve a smoother stain job, but we like how it took to the wood a bit crazy-like in the end. Obviously, night stands are next. :) We LOVE this bed! Thanks Ana!
I made this doll closet to go along with the canopy bed. It came out great! I put some pictures of the build on my blog.
I used the pattern and instructions on how to re-size from http://1inchminisbykris.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/chair-upholstering-tutt…. I then built the base using 1x1 and part of a wood closet rod I had left over and drawer bottom material from Home Depot. I know those descriptions are not super informative but it's just materials I had around the house. Once the base was built I used Ana's instructions from the doll mattress tutorial to sew the bottom and back cushions. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures from the build but I intend to make her a couch when I have time so hopefully I can add some pictures of that to give an idea of what the frame looks like.
We had a wine fridge sitting around that we didnt know what to do with, we were hardly using it. We also had a cheap metal bar cart that was holding all of our wine glasses and liquor bottles, very much not user friendly. So, I decided to build this bar cabinet. I am big into diamonds on my projects, so their are diamonds on both ends of the cabinet with diamond on the inside of the left side of the cabinet to hold liquor bottles. The shelves in the right cabinet space are adjustable in height. All in all, I was very pleased with the finished product, and of course, I was able to finally get some use out of the wine fridge.
My granddaughter wanted a lemonade stand and it had to be easily portable. I used Ana White’s plans, made it a little taller (30” counter height, 65” total height), added hinges so the top drops down, and wheels on the back side so you can tilt and pull it behind you like a suitcase. Added a hook for a cutting board and hooks for a bungee strap to hold the cooler, pitchers and supplies inside while you haul it. A sign for her and sissy, some painted wood decor and we’re all set. Just add lemons!

So many great additions, I'm sure your granddaughter is thrilled!!! I'd love to see photos of her working it, if you'd like to share! anawhitesite@gmail.com
Thank you for sharing!
This project took me a while to do just because I had to fit the time in to complete it. Plus I changed the stairs up from the plan because I didn't like how they turned out. They seemed to sag in the middle when you pushed down on it like a kid would when walking the dolls upstairs. I then tried the 2"X4" method suggested somewhere in the posts but that didn't turn out well either. So I searched online and found Wayne of the Woods website here: http://www.wayneofthewoods.com/dollhouse%20plans.html
Scroll down and find the stair plans I adapted to fit the dollhouse I built. I used scrap 1/4" plywood and 1 1/4" (I think) "L" trim/molding. I think I'm most proud of those stairs! :)

This is beautiful! It's exactly how I envision ours turning out when its done, but gender neutral. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the stairs idea, I really didn't like either other option.
These plans where so easy for my hubby to follow and put together. My son's room is small and even though it's a big bulky bed he has all that floor space to play now!!
I had been searching the internet looking for plans to make a headboard out of an old window I found. I came across these plans and they worked perfectly. Thank you for the great plans and tutorial!
I first made a set of these for my wife to use on the deck. She liked them so much that she's using them in the living room! (Second photo.) These were made from rough lumber left over from a building project so took a fair amount of time to cut and prep. I don't have a planer so the belt sander outside was put to good use. Then, to make them them fit well, I recut the sides, and rather than pocket holes I glued them into a plank before cutting the rounds with my table saw. That also gave me a tight flat top.
Her friend saw them and wanted a set, so here they are. Again I recut the sides and glued them to create a smooth plank. This time I used the router and a circle jig to cut the tops, giving me a much nicer finish. They will be stained mahogany and finished with multiple coats of polyurethane.
The large one I simply upsized from the original plan, roughly scaled. It is 22" tall, made with 2x8 lumber selected and purchased at the box store. My wife's friend is totally delighted with them! Thanks Ana for the inspiration.
