Headboard and barstools
I adapted the plans somewhat. The headboard is made from Pucte, a trpical hardwood with frame of Cedro, a Mahogany. The seats of the stools are also Cedro and legs of Caoba, another Mahogany. I live in Yucatan so these woods are available. The Pucte was repurposed old salvage free

Danielle's Painter's Ladder Shelf
This was the first good-sized project I built by myself. I finished it more than 4 months ago and it still makes me smile every time I look at it. :-) A simple, functional and BEAUTIFUL shelf that will work anywhere and for anyone! I was so impatient for it to be finished I didn't put poly or any clear coat on it and I'm still in love!
(The grain in the wood shows through just BEAUTIFULLY!)
Adirondack Chair
Built three Adirondack Chair, got the dimensions from Ana's Adirondack Chair and modify dimensions for the smaller chair for my daughter. Used ceder and pine. Cost about CDN 40 per chair. Specially I would like to thanks Ana giving information about simple but beautiful furniture designs.

Beautiful!
If you lived near me, I would hire you. If you can do this, your funk tire buying days are over ! Awesome job!

Kitchen Cabinets
Thank you, this was my first Kitchen remodel. I am not sure if I want to do this for hire. I may just build the cabinets but not sure if I want to install anymore.

Kitchen Cabinets
I still have to install the back splash and flooring. Going with a knotty pine flooring. I will distress it and I am going to install vintage Common Rose Head nails at the butt joints of the flooring.
Hall Tree
I made this project for a friend. It was very important to get straight boards for the back in order to make everything square. Let me know if you have any questions!
Portable countertop
I made this from the kitchen island plans, but added a countertop. It's really sturdy and cost about $65 in materials. I love it.
painted buffet
I basically just followed the plans on this site. it is really a pretty simple build but it helps to have a second person and it is very time consuming.

Chicken Run
We built this coop from an existing playhouse and used Ana's plans to build the run! So easy and turned out perfectly!

Deck Chairs
During Covid, we had hybrid classes going on. As a teacher of Stagecraft Technology, we had no sets to create, no large flats or walls to build, so I took your Adirondack chair design and had each student build one using any type of repurposed or up cycled wood. It was a great success, and many of the teachers and staff members started placing orders. The students worked their fingers to the bone, got lots of tool experience, and in the end were proud of their creations, many that we donated to charities, families, etc. Thank You for such a great design.

AMAZING PROJECT!
That is so inspiring, great work and thank you so much for sharing!
Best Farmhouse Bed (Q)
Our fifth build.
Built from rough pine.
Modified for 1x2s in both panels.
Footboard is stacked a little different because silly me got carried away and cut a board, before it was time to cut, and cut it too short. Oooops. Still works though. And looks superb I think.
We did not screw the joists vertical, and through the sideboards. I cut 1 inch pieces off the scraps from the joists, and mounted them from the inside, then laid the joists thick side up, and screwed them down into the mounted pieces.
For step by step instructions, and details on where to buy everything, see my blog. I blogged each step of the way. It took us a month to build this due to life obstacles and bad timing on baby naps, but you should be able to do it in one good afternoon.
Vintage Step Stool
I made this awesome step stool for my daughter to be able to reach things a little bit better. It works perfectly. And the heart adds the perfect touch, don't you think?
Pallet Wine Rack
This week's project was a wine rack that I built for my aunt.

4x4 Truss Beam Table
This is the dining room table I built for my house. It was based on the 4x4 truss beam table plans I found here on Ana's website. I opted against stain, and decided on a clear polyurethane finish to highlight the wood's natural beauty. I've had this table for over a year now, and it has withstood the rigors of young children quite nicely. Thanks Ana!

Rustic X Bookshelves
I was commissioned to build these bookshelves to go along with the “Rustic X” consoles table. The finish is distressed white and True Browns stain.

Doll Farmhouse Bed
I love this little farmhouse bed. I made it for my daughter for Christmas. It is spacious for one doll and cozy for two.
Our First Project: Console Table
This was our first project. The directions were easy to follow. We used wood screws to put this project together as I do not have a nail gun. My five year old was in charge of the electric screwdriver. I just used 1 peice of wood for the table top and diagonally screwed into it from the bottom. It took us a few days to complete as when you are working with a little one, everything takes quite a bit longer. This was the perfect project for us to work on together! My husband requested a table to put next to the hottub so he could put his drink on it, but I don't want this to move outside! Maybe I'll have to make another one. :)
