I have arranged a giveaway for $50 on my blog at www.RustiChic.com. I have learned so much from Ana and other builders on here, I couldn't NOT let you know!
On a side note....any advice on the button??? I've tried all three links and can't get it on there for whatever reason and NEED to!!!
Also, any web/blog/wordpress designers with advice or services? I am interested!

Such a cute thing for taking baby pictures! Love it! You did a wonderful job. :) J
We decided to use redwood because it is sturdy and looks nice. We used the steel wool in vinegar to stain the wood, which FYI, redwood turns black. We were a little worried they were ruined and we weren't going to get that rustic look. After a lot of sanding and 3 coats of clear poly they look great! Thank you so much for the plans!

It looks great, and the redwood used is such a boon. You'd be able to use it outdoors on a patio or on a deck outside, too.
Hi Friends!
Jen Woodhouse from The House of Wood here.
I'm going to share with you how to create these Oversized Pegboard Shelves. If you’re short on cabinet or drawer space in your kitchen, this wall-mounted oversized pegboard shelf is a clever and stylish solution. It’s renter-friendly too! What more could you need?
Be sure to tag me @jenwoodhouse if you share photos of your build on social media. I'd love to see it!
You can get all the details for this build on my website jenwoodhouse.com
I built this bed for my new doll I got from my mother-in-law. All the girls in her family got one as a child, so she got me one, too. This is such a cute bed! Matches my own Farmhouse bed:)
I'm sure this would have been easier with a nail gun, but it is was pretty simple with the drill too.
LOVE IT!
I needed a filing cabinet but wanted something stylish and unique. At the same time, I was also looking for an excuse to build this beautiful ladder shelf. So I decided to combine the two and create a "ladder filing cabinet!" I adjusted the plans so that the legs were made of 1x3's for extra support and I used 1x2's for shelf trims. I also converted side-mount drawer slides into a bottom track for the drawer.

Thanks, KF. I used two metal rails that I had laying around from an old DVD rack. Not sure what you call them, but they basically hooked into the front of each shelf to prevent the DVDs from tipping out.
However, for anyone who's considering building a filing cabinet, I would suggest using metal bars like the ones used in this link: http://sawdustgirl.com/2013/07/18/how-to-build-a-hanging-file-drawer/
I built these doors to save some space from my old swinging door and to add some visual interest to the hallway since this is the first thing you see when you walk in the front door. You can find full details and tutorial plus alot more pictures on my blog post:

We love our sectional built from the modern sectional plan. We also made the tables from an Ana White plan but we adjusted the size. My husband and I love projects.
I had never built anything before. I also hadn't had a headboard in years, so I figured two birds with one stone. The biggest lesson we learned was how important it is to find the best wood. One of our pieces was not straight and we ended up having to make another trip out to the store. Otherwise, it was a pretty easy build!
I purchased and used a circular saw to cut the back legs, which was so much easier than just using a jigsaw like I did the first time. Having experience building one before made assembling the second one simpler.
(Note: The measurements in the photos are different than those in the plans because I cut the back legs to be 37", adding about 1" to the height of the patterned back support to accommodate a 1" seat cushion for future.)

Are the back legs of your chairs two different pieces?? I noticed they have a curve to them and was curious how you got that look!!
Thanks,

The chair is essentially made in two pieces: the back support and back legs being one assembled piece and the seat and front legs being the other. Each back leg is cut from a 2x4 to make the angled back, which was the trickiest part of the whole build for me. There are diagrams in Ana's plans to explain it visually. =D I hope this helps a little!
I based these off of the mini farmhouse bedside table plans, but changed a lot of the dimensions, added sides/back and chose to use plywood for the top, sides and shelf. The plywood did not stain very nicely for me- I learned my lesson! The drawers were definitely the hardest part!
Wow! I’m so pleased with how this turned out!! Super easy and mostly done with scraps left over from other projects. Was able to get the bed and bedding completed for under $30. Smaller (and cheaply made) beds on the AG website cost well over $100. Thanks to this plan, I’m able to give my niece a birthday gift that will last her for years...maybe even generations.

The only reason I listed this as an “intermediate” skill level is because of the sewing portion of the project. Covering the mattress and sewing the bedding (since there’s no plan for that part of the project) isn’t really a no-brainer sewing project.
All pocket hole joinery
Base is painted shade of white
Top is dark walnut
I built 11 doll highchairs for my daughters 5th "Adopt A Baby" birthday party! These chairs were fast and easy to build and I had a BLAST painting them! The girls loved, loved, loved them! A little extreme for a 5 year old birthday party? Maybe. But definitely worth it!

Wow! That's a LOT of work!!! They turned out absolutely adorable, though.
So we couldnt find any bed we really wanted for my son, and this one was perfect.
I used the wood one step up from the whitewood at HD, which had too many knots for this, and was .75 more. Still had to pick thru the 2x4 and 2x6s but the quality of the wood was much better.
After seeing what another bragger posted, i raised the posts to 72" instead of 66", which allowed for an additional 2x6 at the top. The mattress stayed at the same height, but know i sleep better thinking he wont roll off.
Lesson learned from this: Sand the primer!!! i never knew to do that before in my life and wow, what a difference.
Painting Steps were:
Sand wood,
prime, ( Used Zissner BIN)
Sand primer with 220
Wipe with Tack cloth
Paint ( Used Behr Ultra White Semi Gloss and Behr Par Four Green Semi Gloss)
Sand lightly with 320 grit
wipe with Tack
Paint again.
The two end pieces and the deck were assembled in the garage, but the cross pieces and steps were built in the bedroom.
Im thinking of creating a mini gate where he climbs up just for sleeping that i could put in once he is in his bed to really prevent rolling... trust me.. he rolls everywhere. May be to the height of the top 2x4, halway the length of the opening, and use dowels or something.
Note the second picture didnt have the 2x6 ladder step installed yet.
Thanks Ana for the plans! My son never wants to leave the bed!
This is the 2nd step stool I built, the first was for my daughter and I just followed the plans. Built this for my friends son Hayden, decided to add the H for his name. It was a tag team build, I built it and painted it and my wife did the sanding, distressing and wax sealer.
I was on a mission to find just the right buffet to house Grandma's china and infrequently used serving dishes. Countless searches in second hand stores, hours scouring Offer-up and Craigslist, and even some regretable purchases all led to the building of this magnificent buffet. I found a build plan for the planked wood sidboard, printed it and started in. I had always planned on painting it and wanted a rustic look so decided on budget friendly lumber. The frame and top of the unit is made from fir and the drawers and doors from pine. The door insets and the back of the unit is pine beadboard. The top and interior of the buffet is finished in GF Antique Walnut Gel Stain. I used a wipe-on polyurathane on the interior of the buffet and the inside of the drawers. I choose an amazing shade of red for the exterior of the buffet: GF Milk Paint in Holiday Red. It was my first experience with milk paint and it was a pleasure. It went on so smooth and brush-stroke free. After two coats of Holiday Red milk paint I applied a single coat of GF High Performance Top Coat in satin finish. This really enhanced the color of the Holiday Red and served as a base for a glaze application. I mixed the GF Antique Walnut Gel Stain with ten percent mineral spirits and glazed the entire buffet. I got into all the nooks, crannies and knots and left a thin coating on the face of the unit. I loved the buffet before the glaze, but now I was head over heals. The buffet was finally finished off with two coats of High Performance Top coat. Mission accomplished!
I really needed an entry way system that was easy to corral all of my 3 boys shoes/coats/crap, etc. . . and I LOVED this plan! I messed up on the frame, so just left it off, and decided that I didn't need the back either. I painted little chalkboards on the side of each boys cubby.
I'm fairly certain that this isn't made perfectly, but it's perfect for us! This was my 2nd project and I'm really super psyched about it!
This was made as a present my mom's birthday. I found a good sized mirror at the thrift shop which was perfect for the project. I adhered it to some plywood, added trim around it, bulked up the top and bottom with multiple layers and types of trim and added some crown molding to the top. The finish is "A Day at the Jewellers" by Valspar with a Red Mahogany stain/glaze over top.
