Built this off another plan

Really enjoyed this project, every piece was made from slabs cut from cedar. Thanks for the plans.

We followed the plans exactly. I I got 4 separate square cushions at Hobby Lobby, got the fabric there also. My friend sewed the cushions for me (so sweet!) because she knows I can't sew=)

I found the little side table at a garage sale for $3 and painted it white to match. I love this piece on my patio...it's great for reading, or to sit and sip coffee or a glass of wine!

loved the challenge first project ever, my suggestion to anyone buy the kreg jig best thing since sliced bread

mY first wood project turned out pretty awesome, thanks to Ana!!

This chair was made off Ana white'smodern outdoor chair with modification to add back support. Without the back support the back pillow would keep falling off.  The cushion are 25x25 but very thick for comfort.

To finish off my bathroom remodel I built the Martina wall shelf. I reused the metal hook that was previously on my wall before the board and batten treatment. It fit perfectly in the space under the shelf meant for hooks. I wish I had measured out my towels and storage needs. I could have actually stored more if I had adjusted the plans to make the shelf a little deeper and a couple inches wider. Overall, I'm very pleased! The Kreg Jig is a fun little tool, too!

First project! Cut the tops at the wrong angle. Stained with Miniwax Dark Walnut. Had some kreg jig troubles but all-in-all very happy with the results.

Easy project and fun to do!

We removed the legs and added an extra piece to the top to bring the mattress height down.

I made this chair for my two-year old niece so she can sit at the table like a big girl. We call it the "Share Chair" because she has to share it with her two sisters. It was fairly easy to make; I think I spent more time painting it.

While staging my sister & brother-in-laws home so they could list it for sale, I ended up with an "empty wall" in their living room and nothing to fill it with, but knew a small bookshelf would work perfectly! I loved the look of the Kentwood bookshelf plan. I'm not the fastest builder, but after a couple hours, I had everything cut, all pocket holes drilled and everything fully assembled. I only applied one coat of stain and a single coat of poly and skipped adding a back...for now. I may go back and add a back later, but for now I'm thrilled with it (and so was my sister!)

Edit:  I finally added a back to the shelf - just in time to sell it to a friend. ;)

This is my first attempt at a rustic coffee table build based on Ana's designs. I used redwood (mostly) and pine for the bottom shelf. The solution was created using white vinegar and 00 grade steel wool. The solution was not diluted (should have done 50/50 with water) and sat for about 15 days (only needed 5-7 to dissolve all wool).  

Hope you enjoy!

Made this sideboard cabinet for my kitchen using the plans for the barn door cabinet. Just modified a bit by hanging the door instead of doing the sliding barn door. Turned out great and I love the look of it. Provides lots of extra storage and counter space in my kitchen. 

This project was a lot of fun and didn't take very long. Already thinking of making another one with different color finish.

Second project for annual church craft show. Loved the idea of using pegboard, so I modified it accordingly. Guessed at cost as we bought 2X6s and 2X12s on clearance and ripped them down ourselves which brought the cost down.

easy to follow steps. Good weekend project for a beginner. I just got tools for Christmas and I tackled this without prior building experience. Excited for more projects
