Took 2 weekends to build 2 of them, they have a gently distressed finish.
With inspiration from Ana’s Little Crates, I prepared crates frames and slats separately so employees of a retiree may write on the slats. Once the writing was complete the slats were attached to the frames and presented as a personalized gift with examples of hanging or tabletop use.
Thanks
I built these cute little houses with scrap wood. They are easy to customize!
I used 1x6 boards for the house and 1x2 boards for the roof. I attached the roof with bradnails.
This is our fireplace / tv bump out. Used your plans modified a little. Decided on a navy blue shiplap. The shelves are made from oak barn wood we got from a torn down dairy barn.

I loved the idea of the charging cubbies and the storage area in this plan!
I needed something a little shorter, for my three younger boys to be able to reach the hooks, though. I modified the plans a bit for this. I also opted out on the drawers and just left the cubbies open. With my boys, the more simple something is to use, the more likely they will make the effort ;)
I added a 2x4 to the back for hooks. I wanted the wall color to show through the back, so I didn't use a back piece.

I am very new to building. I was looking all over the site for something exactly like this. Is there any way you could post your demensions? I know I should be able to figure something out, but yours looks perfect. I love it! Great job and thanks for sharing your project!

Kimara,
I'm so glad you like this! It has worked out perfect! Even my four year old uses his hooks!
The dimensions had to be specific for myself. Otherwise, it wouldn't have worked in the game room.
31 1/2"(L) x 12 3/4"(W) x 51"(H)
Let me know if you have anymore questions...
God Bless :)

You have shared a nice idea to use this storage and make it more useful after school. The topic of this post is very interesting and I am enjoying while reading it. SEO Dubai is a leading company providing services related to marketing to the clients from all over the world.
My shelves are about 2.5 ft long. I wanted a display area in my dining room to show off some plates I had made for my boyfriend a while back.
Ana- I can’t thank you enough this was my very first build-EVER. With guidance from my hubby, I was able to build this beautiful pottery bench/ bar. Definitely wish I would have stained some pieces prior to assembling but live and learn. I’m officially hooked on helping in the shop and doing some of my “honey do’s” myself!
The perfect table to toss and fold my laundry! I love how it turned out. It’s practical, stylish and perfect for my laundry room vibes.
Another #anawhitediy for the win!
I have a pet ferret that has little room to run around. So I seen this rabbit/ferret cage at the pet store. It was about $150 or so. So I took a pic of it on my phone, and found the Google Sketch app, and watched some videos, and now I have plans for the cage. Some 2x2's, 1x8's, plywood, chicken wire, and some locks and hinges for the ramp an lid.... Still tweaking it, but hopefully it will work out.
I loved the style of this desk but needed it to be quite a bit smaller. I reduced the measurements down from 48 inches wide to 28 inches wide. This required only 4 foot long 1x12. I added just one 15 inch wide faux drawer on the front. This was incredibly easy to build. It took me longer to paint and stain the timber than it did to build it.
This was the first time I had ever worked with some of the tools and really done any serious building. We built a new deck onto the back of my home and I could not stand the cost of the furniture to make it complete. Thank you Anna I have become fearless with tools!! Our deck has become even more special!!
My wife had begged and begged for something like this, so I took the plunge. This was my first build and I’m getting the itch to try other things! We built the ship lap wall and sign together as well!
I made 2 of your Potting Tables to use as my display tables for my wood working kiosk.

Used the plans as provided by Ana for the Rustic X Coffee Table.
I built this table using barn wood I reclaimed from a farmstead in Saline, MI which I dismantled in 2010. Interestingly enough, during the dismantling, the farmstead served as a movie set for the filming of Cedar Rapids, starring Ann Hesche, John C. Riley and Sigourney Weaver.
Thanks for looking,
Mike

Thank you for your compliment, much appreciated!!
I'm fortunate to have been working with reclaimed wood for eleven years now and the outcome never ceases to amaze me once the finish is applied.
Thanks again.
Mike
I built this for my daughter's 5th birthday. She didn't actually have a bed in her room and this seemed like a great opportunity to dust off some of my skills.
It was a big project, but worth it all when I saw how much she LOVES it.
I love this X Console! Thanks for the plans!
A shape chicken coop built in just two days about 9 hours east to do. But heavy to move but everyone is loving it!!!!

I had just finished my daughter's playhouse loft bed when I saw this plan. It was super easy to build and I used all left over wood from the playhouse. I used 6-inch boards for the sides and shelves since that was what I had left over. Other than that, I followed this plan exactly. Thanks for posting!
Built at 31 weeks, rockers were indeed tricky. Would recommend leaving top of rockers straight. My doctor objected to me staining it myself so my mom did it for me.

LOOK GREAT!
I really like the farmhouse style furnature and the finish you used turned out really good.
