BIGGER Rustic X Coffee Table
Using Ana's Rustic X Coffee Table plans, I created a larger version at 60" by 33" - just as easy and perfect for my space! Thanks Ana!

After numerous moves cross country, it was time for a new bed frame, so I was excited to find the time to try out the farmhouse king bed plans! I was lucky enough to get my hands on reclaimed lumber from an old dairy barn in the UP Michigan so that is what I used for the mountain design. I made the bed to plan, but replaced the headboard slats with the mosaic insert. I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it turned out!
I loved doing this project. Having the space so open on the top half made me a bit nervous, so I used some extra pieces to fill in the sides. It took me longer than 6h to complete; but I had fun while putting it together, so things worked out well. Now I can't stop thinking about what to do next!
I fell in love with the Simple Outdoor Dining Table, but wanted something a bit different. When ewood posted the modified version. I knew that was the one!
wanted a big table for christmas, this is over 8 foot, and we couldn't afford a table like that so having seen the site thought i'd try and build one. thanks for the plans absolutely great
first project, no real woodwork experience but competent diy-er
made mainly out of reclaimed wood, the top and side apron are made of old scaffold boards and the main brace a chunk of wood form my neighbours shed.
i did have to buy some 2x4s for the legs and the cross braces
sides painted and the top waxed, looks a bit patchy in the photos but the finish is good.
all in all cost about £70
My husband broke out entertainment stand all out of glass. This is my very first project. All by my self. Inspired from being broke and have 2x4 laying around.
Thanks to you we were able to build my mom a shelf for her kitchen with a combination of two of your plans! My mom loved the top of the “Farmhouse Potting Bench” but also wanted shelves like the “Rustic X Console Table”. We combined the two and adjusted measurements to fit our wall space. We didn’t do a complete X on the side because we wanted it with one slant, but loved how it turned out over all!

Second plan I decided to build from this site, my daughter loves it. She's 19 months old now, but should grow into it fairly soon, she can still climb into it though. Slapped it together in less than an hour. Small modifications from the original plan. I used a 1 x 12 tread (leftover from a previous project) for the seat and back. Painted and sealed it, and let dry over night. Thanks again Ana!
I built the American Girl canopy bed and closet for a family friend for Christmas. This plan was so much fun to make! I will definitely be making a few more for Christmas. I put a tutorial for the mattress I made and will be adding tutorials for the rest of the bedding on my blog tomorrow. Thanks so much!!
I'm not a carpenter by any stretch of the imagination. This is the first building project I've done in God knows how long. Having a brad nailer is almost a must. it make the assembly of this headboard a piece of cake. The hardest part by far for me was finding untreated 4x4's. especially since we wanted to leave them the natural color of the wood. I finally found a local lumber yard that also had a pallet shop where they make custom pallets for area businesses. They had some untreated 4x4's that they use to make pallets with. It took me quite a while to pick out some good ones from the bunch. Even after being very selective with the 4x4's I still had to take 80 grit sandpaper on a belt sander to them to get them to the finished product. They turned out great though. I would say that I'm a jack of all trades type of person, but had no experience building anything remotely close to furniture before. I am usually handy when it comes to figuring things out and doing work with my hands though. If you are looking for a good project to try out, then this one is a great one to start on. As for now, I don't plan to make the footboard and rails for this bed. These headboards cost me a total of about $52 or $53 each in materials. It took me a total of about 5-6 hours to build (2 hours of that was sanding on the 4x4's.)
Made from a combination of Ana White plans to build the ultimate home bar! I used the Rustic Sideboard / Buffet Table and Modular Bar Wine Grid Hutch plans for this custom build
We are so thankful for the plan! This is our first building project (ever!) My son loves his new fort bed, and we feel so empowered to have done it ourselves!

I was looking for a cute, simple bed for our 9 year old son as he gets a room to himself for the first time in his life(we adopted him from Haiti 2 years ago, where he shared with 4-8 little boys and then he has shared with his little sister since they came to us). This is just what I was looking for and didn't know it-haha.
My parents have hated their fireplace since they moved into their house 18 years ago. When they moved in it was black bricks, so we painted it white, but it was still really sad looking. I finally got on Ana's site and found plans for Mimi's Faux Mantel and got to work. We just love how it turned out. Really warms up the space and now the fireplace in the focal point of the room. Thanks Ana!

what a fantastic job you did! That settles it....this week I'm picking up my materials and getting to work. I've thought about it for long enough. Your mantel is an inspiration to me because it's exactly what I've been looking for. Your parents must be so happy. again, Great Job!!!
Coffee table with built in toy storage with glaze coat top
Our kitchen REALLY needed an island, and with a few modifications from Ana's plan, we had the perfect new piece for our home!
Made this about 7 years ago from Ana's plans. Very easy to follow. I actually extended it to be a 4 and 2 seater set. Still a perfect today. Love it

It looks so great, shared on our Facebook page today! Thanks for sharing.
I am building a TV console and hutch (will be posting soon) and I have left over of small cut of boards from this project. While waiting for my media center to dry, I built this pet feeder.
I have this messy eater dog (weimaraner) who slobbers all over my floor moulding. Worst thing...she bangs the wall with her aluminum bowl when she tries to lick every single bits of her food there is! So, with that story to tell, I designed and built her a pet feeder(inspired by the small pet feeder plan). And no more banging and messy wall!
This took me for-ever to build but mainly because I have an infant plus two other children. I think the actual time in hours was about 15 for the build and about the same for finish work. We modified the plans to fit my sons full size mattress. We also spent a lot on lumber because, initially, I thought I would stain but ended up painting.

Excellent job, even if it did take 4 coats of paint. Nicely done. I really liked the rope wrapped legs.
Built this bed and stool for my grandaughter's first "big girl" bed.
This is a queen size headboard I built for our guest room. This is inspired by http://ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/reclaimed-wood-headboard-queen-size.
