ok. I've been wanting something like this for my living room. Similar to the LACK Ikea tables but I wanted REAL wood. I think I may give this a go but push the slats together so my kids can use it for a coloring surface easier!!

My list of things to build is
My list of things to build is crazy long at this point - but at least we live in Florida, where we can use outdoor furniture almost year round. :)
Ana, can I add something to your list of plans? It'll be simple, I promise (says the girl who doesn't make furniture plans)!!! :)
I'm planning to redo my bedroom in much the way that John and Sherry did here: http://www.younghouselove.com/2008/02/over-our-heads/
Can you put together a plan for those closets? Pretty please?? I'll heart you forever (ok, I already heart you forever, but still) :).

Katrina, there is no reason
Katrina, there is no reason Trex wouldn't work strucutrally, but you will have open exposed ends to consider with Trex.

Chairs in the photo posted.
Hi Ana,
I brand new to your sight but what I see so far is great. In the photo for this post is a set of chairs. I see something similar in another post but but they have four slats and these have five.
Is there a set of plans for the chairs in this photo?
