I loved the simplicity and shelving of the Parson Tower desk plans but I really wanted a standing work station. I made it taller (approx. 40 in tall) and I made the desktop longer and wider (approx. 72 x 24in) and I LOVE it!
Farmhouse bed. Makes a pretty universal styled bed
My mom and o completed this weekend project together! It was so fun to complete! The table is customized to 7ft and the benches made smaller than the original plans so they slide under the table when we’re not using it. We made it for our homeschool room. The kids are excited for this space already and we all have the room we need to get our work done! Under $200 start to finish! I used a prestain to prep the wood and then stained with watco danish oil in a natural finish.
We modified our plan by use a router on the edges and stenciling the top. We used pine. We left our wheels the original industrial metal .
**This is one sturdy table and easily serves as an ottoman with large groups .

Very creative! I went to your blog and looked at your own headboard, too. You do good work!
Only change to original plan was width of top. Used 2 2x6 boards with 2x8 for middle board instead of 3 2x6 boards. One note: deck or porch spindles are less than 2 inches and will not fit tightly against the shelf boards. .Cut the lengths form 8ft 2x2 and sand smooth.
Awesome night stand designs we needed. We increased the height to match our bed height. We finished with honey stain on top and Anne Sloan chalk paint that we distressed for the body

We are so excited to start some projects! Quarantine has us feeling crafty!
My first project with raw wood and power tools! All I have is a circular saw and electric sander, but it went really well. It took about 3 days because I couldn't work straight through (silly life and all it's appointments!). Thanks for laying out all the prep work with your instructions, Ana!! My next project is a cubby shelf for towels.

What a nice change! Great job. You should be proud of yourself!

The whole thing was built for under $60 and could be done with only a circular saw and a drill, in an afternoon.
(optionally, a router and sander can smooth out corners)
This was a pretty simple project that saved me hundreds and is more functional. I built it to fit our laundry baskets, unfortunately I didn't take a photo of the washer/dryer in place. I've used it for several years now without any issues. This was one of my first builds and it was a good one.
Potting Bench with an added shelf for more storage by Schoen
We love our new coffee table! Thanks for the idea!!
Hello,
I made the head board from the farm house bed project. I used western red cedar for this project and I bolted it to a standard metal bed frame. It came out really well and I'm very pleased with the plans and the results.
Thank you,

I used the Rustic x console table plans and modified them to make this corner media console. I closed the sides with plywood instead of leaving them open with the X detail. Then I closed it in further with doors to keep all our video game systems hidden and dust free. It's a good addition to the Man Cave.

Does it fit all the way into the corner is it squared up?
I made a simplified version without the arches, worked out great! Thanks for the plans! I used oak so cost was a little higher than necessary. :)
Made this wine rack for our basement rec room using live edge wood, 1x2s, and 3/4in wood dowels. Full dimensions and write up at the link below!
This was my first project. I already had a large ottoman, but it didn't hold anything. So I broke it apart for the box frame, added a bottom and hinged the lid. I was able to reuse the padding and upholster the pieces with sale fabric from Joann Fab ( love that store). Than I attached the fabric with a staple gun. Since it's in my bedroom, I like to keep wedding photos and such inside. Plus my 2 year old cannot open it!
The first piece of our replacement bedroom set. We have this hand me down set from the 70's that is just awful looking. I have dressers, bed side tables, a wardrobe, and closet doors to do still. I love the way this turned out. I tried the oxidized finish from Hillary and with some trial and error I found the right colors. I replaced the standard slats with a one-piece frame that can be lifted out for the storage space below. I can't wait to replace the rest of that awful blonde furniture and repaint the room. I made wood slides like those on my built in dresser although this time they are positioned beneath the drawers. The front of the drawer boxes make up the drawer faces with a face frame. I changed the front of the boxes to 1x12 to achieve this concept. The drawers work flawlessly and will be perfect for seasonal clothes accessed less often.
I made this nightstand and one other from the Kentwood plans. The handles are diamond willow from Wisconsin. I used 1x2's for the door.
My husband and I built this bed over the course of several weeks working on it a few hours at a time due to long work days. It came out beautiful and is exactly what I wanted and how I had it pictured for our new bedroom redo. We added the Queen Storage Bed Drawers from the Ana White plans but had to make a modification as the drawer plans did not account for the trim as shown in the picture for the bed. Then we took things a step further and built matching nightstands. I LOVE how everything turned out.
