Had to be custom.
Thanks, Ana for the plan! We were remodeling a nearly 60 year old bathroom and a store bought vanity would absolutely not fit. Using your awesome plans, we were able to get a vanity that would fit, and be one of a kind.

When I got it all put together it just seemed to be missing something,so I went back and routed the name of the name of the bnb that I made it for.It was still missing character so I took the torch to it and finally stained it.I think it has character now maybe?
Finished our tidy up table! A couple of tweaks: I didn't want to kreg jig the boards together because I have a tendency to split 1x's when using a lot of joins. I tried drilling from below, but the 2x2 furring strips were so soft that I couldn't get my warped 1x6's to suck down without the screws popping through, even when changing to 1 1/4" ones. So, I countersunk two holes on each end of each board, and used 3/8" buttons to fill them to provide a decorative element. I LOVE THEM! Not only are all my boards flush, but the top is now so pretty. I secured the middle by screwing in from below with 2" screws, but since I didn't need to make them so tight to get my boards flush they no longer popped out. I hope that makes sense.
Also, the sides are pretty wobbly without the trundle in there, so my husband suggested adding L brackets to each corner. Success! It's now solid as a rock. We screwed in from the outside and filled with more buttons. For those of you who don't like the raised look, they also have flat button hole plugs. They take stain so much better than wood putty.
Lastly, I chose 1 5/8" casters that move in all directions. Bad idea. It gives the proper 2" height, but makes the trundle difficult to maneuver. Going to try and find some fixed-side one-way casters to replace them. Other than that, it's fantastic!

Here's the link to the product: http://www.homedepot.com/buy/paint/paint-sprayers/husky/gravity-feed-hv… . It's $50, and comes with 2 sprayers and 4 tanks (2 large, 2 small). You can use paint or stain. The coverage is nice and even. It was so much more fun to stain that way than with rags and brushes!
I am so very happy on how this bench turned out. I am new at building things and so I asked my husband to help me we did this in a day. now I have 3 people that want one (family of course.)

Do you have plans? I haven't built anything yet and have my neice's wedding shower this weekend...thinking this would be an AWESOME gift for her!!!
Can one lady with one weak arm take this project on by herself???
And, can you tell us how much it cost you to make?
Thanks!

I had some left over pallets from another project I was doing and decided to make some recycled wood planter boxes to liven up our decking area. The whole project only took a few hours to make both boxes and used entirely reclaimed pallet wood aside from the two end pieces.
I got a saw for Christmas and decided to make Christmas presents right away. This was my first project and both of the recipients were very happy with their presents. I have gotten a ton of compliments on the pieces. The blocks were very easy to make, the frame took a little more work.

I know its been a while and may not get a response, but have to ask if you hand sanded the corners? Also, the frame, any tips?
I built this for my son's first apartment to match the Rustic X Coffee Table I built. His living room is small so I needed to make a narrower version of the end table. Because of this, I decided to not build the "X". It turned out great! Thanks Ana!
Loved your simple plan! I had 8x2 boards from our pergola we tore down and they worked great!! Thanks for sharing the plans.

Made the Benchright Coffee table. Costs too much - time to make it myself.

hey nice job! really liking your finish choices, looks beautiful and fits well with your home.

Thanks Megan.
Couple of my next projects are going to be the matching TV stand and the buffet for which I drew up plans. It'll be probably another month or two before I can find time to do it.
I used the plans from the Ridge Media Console, but modified it a tad. I adjusted the measurements for my space and used pallet wood for the lower shelf. I also decided to make a drawer instead of the flip down storage.
This table is the perfect size to fit our entry way, I just love the dark walnut bottom with the white top. It is just the right piece in its space, and was super simple to put together. We modified the plans a bit, instead of using liquid nails we used the kreg tool and screws to assemble. We also just used one board for the top of table and taped off more of the base and painted it white to give it the illusion of a thick top.
We made this as a surprise for our son. It turned out beautiful! We used cedar 4x4s for the corner posts and pine for the remainder. Thanks Ana!

I was looking for a desk/table for a wall in my bedroom, especially after I created the wall art that was now free floating on a huge expanse of wall. I needed something to anchor it. I saw the Narrow Farmhouse Table and loved it. I knew I could modify for the space so I used some extra boards I had around the house and mocked it up so that I could take measurements and ensure the table did not block the traffic flow in my home.
I loved the way http://deuxmaison.blogspot.com/2010/07/knock-offwoodcom-narrow-farmhous… the table was done in this blog, so I used the new measurements and took a few tips from deuxmaison to make this desk/table.
I completed the table top and the base as separate projects. Check out my blog for details and a special link on "How to Make a Tapering Jig"

I love how this table turned out. Thanks for great plans, Ana!
Modified to hang above the toilet for some added bathroom storage.
We were needing a new tv console for our boy's playroom and this was a lot of fun to work on. This was the first piece of furniture I have built and I was able to follow the plans pretty easily.

My doors are sticking out over 1 inch at the bottom. Any suggestions why?

Ana,
I was wondering how you were able to fabricate the door hardware? Your plans don't seem to include them in the overall plan area. Can you provide this information please?
Thank you.

What hardware did you use here? I have been having trouble finding hardware small enough to fit in the 3.5" space above the doors, and I do not have the tools to create my own hardware.
Thanks!
I made this one a while back, it looks similar to the new one you made, I don't remember if this was an earlier version you made or something else I saw online. This table came out amazing and very sturdy.
It took a few days to build. I like my projects to be smooth so I sanded all the boards from 80 - 220, then pre stained them all, put 3 coats of poly and then sanded with 400 and 600 for the finish. Once that was completed I assembled the table and I used extra screws where I could to ensure that it wouldn't become loose after moving it around so much. I was able to make 2 side tables with some of the left over wood.
Hello! Thank you so much for providing information and inspiration. I was looking for a very specific couch and I found one. However it was $3000 and had to ship from CA to FL and then I had to assemble it to decide if I liked it or not. Some friends directed me to your site where I found your plans for the outdoor sectional. I modified them to fit my desired outcome and wow! I'm so happy about this. Thanks again!
someJabr0ni What I used:
36 - 2x4x10s
1 - 4x4x8
A whole bunch of screws
Foam cushions from foamfactory.com
Cushion covers from slipcovershop.com
Minwax jacobean stain (finish on top tbd)
Super easy but first time using any angles in a project so I had to figure my miter saw out before I was succesful at it.
This was a corner cabinet I made. The purpose of this cabinet is to be used as a pantry. My kitchen is quite small, and in turn I was always having to sacrifice cabinet space for pantry items. Total man hours was about 20 give or take the occasional trip to HD or Lowes.
I found this project quite enjoyable. I don't have much of a workshop area so space was tight. I had to constantly move my tools around to make room for the cabinet while I built it.
The plans supplied by this website were simple and straight-forward. I didn't need any specialty tools or have to use any weird joinery. All in all I would give this project an 8 out of 10. There were a couple of areas I feel I can improve on.
After having posted this picture on several social media sites my friends took notice, Now I'm getting all kinds of requests. Not sure if I will entertain any. It's just nice to see a vision come to life.
Thanks for the taking a gander at my work.

I also built a corner cabinet from the same plans and yours is by far the best. You obviously have the patience it takes to get the best out of your project. Looking for more from you.

Thank you so much for your vision! I've been looking for the perfect corner cabinet for at least a year! All the other plans within these plans are ok and would've worked, but I just felt like I wanted something more. I am in love with your doors! They look great! I may make mine a bit larger, but will most definitely add doors the same way you did. Unfortunately, it's not on the top of my priority list, but it will be this summer!!! Great work!

I found these plans and modified the dimensions to work in my space. The top is solid birch, and the legs are cedar 4x4s I found in a shed on my property. The side skirts rear skirt, shelf supports, and drawer fronts are solid walnut I have had laying around for years. The face frame was a door jam in my house made from solid mahogany. It came out nice, especially since it's my first time building anything like this! Thanks for the plans!
