I'm a mother of three kids, so it took me a while to finish, but I also did some additional work on it so I would be able to stain rather than paint it.  I used a countersink drill bit to put in a bit of a hole that I filled with wood by using a plug cutter so that it would match more.  I also used epoxy in the knot so my son's baby toes wouldn't get hurt.  That's it.  I love it!

I'm building them all... this table is next! 

Very easy project to make. From leaving the house to get the wood, get home, make cuts and assemble was about 4-5 hours. I have used this website as inspiration for other projects, but this was the first that I just followed the plans and it turned out great!. Very sturdy and perfect size. My daughter in the picture is almost 5 and this is perfect for her and will last years for our youngest daughter.

This is my biggest project to date. It's a great craft desk!

I used an oak project panel for the top, and pine for the rest. Finished with Rustoleum dark walnut, 2 coats of poly, and white paint.

Also, I'll probably revisit the hinge placement, adding another on each side.

I built this square farmhouse table for a friend of mine. Used the same build as the 4x4 truss table. Just made it square. 64.75x64.75

Spent two weekend between both the bed and the nightstands. The nightstand were completed one weekend and the bed was completed on another weekend. The wood for the nightstands was purchased at Lowe's. The wood for the bed was purchased at a lumber yard. The lumber yard carried untreated 4X4 posts 16 ft long for $9 each.

For build materials, please ask!

We LOVE our finished bed. We started out to make the Farmhouse Queen Bed but decided after completing the headboard and footboard that we wanted some storage with it. We made the frame from the Farmhouse Storage Bed plans without the actual drawers. We wanted a more open look to the storage. We are pleased with the way it turned out and love that Ana shares these wonderful plans online. Thanks again Ana! 

I used cedar because I love the color and wanted the natural look.

I ended up creating a cement top instead of using the 2x6's and added 2x2 on the top boarder for added support.

Take some scrap wood, and make beautiful wall hanging art / decor out of these free printable vintage French seed packets of vegetables and flowers ! Perfect gift for anyone who loves garden and vintage!

I made a few changes but not much!  I used biscuit jointers and dowels, so only nails for glue to dry.  Lock miter draw joints.  But all the wood came from scraps from the saw mill I work at :). 

This was created using one and a half reclaimed pallets. Sealed and ready for a fire pit this summer!

Ripped a 2x4 down the middle for the legs and bottom rungs, so custom 2x2s.  1x2s for the mid and top.  Biscuit jointed and edge glued 12x12 Hard Maple Top.  Glue and pocket hole joinery. 

I made this double x bench from plans from www.hertoolbelt.com

This is seriously easy to make.

It looks complicated but it really isn't.

I used the vaseline technique for distressing.

This bench looks amazing at the end of my farmhouse bed.

My wife and I have couldn't decide where to start our DIY projects, so we picked the Kentwood plans out of a stack and got to work.

Ours are fashioned out of two 1x 12 pine boards, (7/8 x 11 1/4) cut for size. There is a great mom and pop lumber yard about an hour from where we are, and has spectacular prices on just about every kind of wood...saves us about 67% off the box stores.

We had some cedar tongue and grove boards lying around, so I used the cedar for the side and door panels. We also opted to add a shelf to the interior, measuring 13' off the bottom deck.

We did not finish the interior, aside from sanding the shelves, and putting on a top coat.

The top of the nightstands are made with scrap tongue and grove pine wall panels my father-in-law had sitting in his wood shop.

Really fun, enjoyable first foray into the ana-white.com community. Gotta say, having a Kreg jig makes joinery a snap.

Fun project, ordered the hardware for the rail system itself and the wheels were too big so I made my own rail system.
