Counter Stools
I slightly modified the plans to give them more of a "Saddleback" style. I used a 2x10 for the seat, then belt sanded for an hour to give it the concave shape.
Toddler Captains Bed
My wife wanted a dresser and a bed for our two year old foster daughter on her second birthday. Since half the dresser drawers are not useful for a toddler I considered a Captain's Bed or Mate's bed but couldn't find one. I modified the Traditional Wood Toddler Bed plan adding drawers underneath and painted it white. My little girl loves it. It turned out nice enough that my oldest daughter asked me to make another for my grandson since his convertible bed will be converted back to a crib with a new granddaughter on the way. Her only request was to color it Espresso Brown. I have included the picture. Thank You for the ideas. God Bless You and your faimily
Traditional Wood Toddler Bed with a Twist
I made the Traditional Wood Toddler Bed in a weekend and it turned out great! I did add a twist though: A chalkboard replaces the wainscot!
Used a hand router to round all of the edges to give it a softer feel.
Had to extend the length of the bed by 1/2" to accomodate a Greco toddler mattress. (Check your mattress size before you build!)
Wood Snack Cabinet
Great barn door cabinet build by Chuck A.
First Try, Picnic Table
I had to take 2 redwood trees down last year so I learned to mill my own lumber. This picnic table is my first attempt at furniture. The dimensions of the wood is beyond "full" so a cutlist would be meaningless. For reference the table top boards are 2.25"x9.25"x7'.
The inspiration is from the Fancy X Farmhouse Table project on this site.
I don't know how you would price or time this because I started from logs 8^)
This site is awesome!

Just beautiful!
The table is simply beautiful! I love the natural color of the wood. It looks indestructible.

Dining table
Hi Ana, this is not your design but one I just made up. The timber is Queensland red cedar and about 30 years old, I was given a tree and had it cut up. Came out great

My Big Ur Farm Table
I built the table to use in my garage but it came out so beautiful that I now find myself wondering who to give it to. I followed the plans except I used 1x3s instead of 2x6s or 2x2s for the trim between the legs. I built the top first using pocket holes and then added the legs. I then added the side trim before adding the joists. That process had every board fitting perfectly. No attachments are visible from the outside. I attached the legs using pocket holes and three inch screws and glue , of course.
I will build two benches which should be a snap.
I had no luck finding a 10 foot 4x4 so I bought two 8 foot. Got a good deal at HD with each less than $8 each
Barnwood Picture Frames
Built these as a birthday present for my friend, based on an image she'd pinned a year ago. Read more about it here.
Changing table
Modified with arrows to go along with theme for baby room
Modern Adirondack Chairs using reclaimed pallet wood
The plans were easy to follow and the finished result was perfect! We subbed 1x6s for the 1x10s, because we were using some reclaimed pallet wood. We cut, sanded, and stained/weatherproofed all pieces before assembly, which I would also recommend.
Modular Barbie Playhouse
We modified the Ana-White modular dollhouse meant for small dolls to build this Barbie size house! (Please ignore the workshop walls in the background of our pics! Lol!) Our daughter loves to set up all sorts of houses/school/hospital/stores, and commercial modern barbie houses are all covered in specific printed paper that restricts what a room can be used for. This way she can make buildings however she likes! It isn't much bigger than her old barbie house, and the pieces/room boxes are easy for her to move/stack. Each room box is 9" (w) by 18"(L) by 13"(h), with wall panels 4.5" wide. We also love that these room boxes can become bookshelves once she outgrows barbies! Thank you!

Providence Benches
After making the Providence Table, I whipped up these benches to match! They were super easy to make in one day. I love the sturdiness of these (and the look too).
Hifi - Living room Console
We started from the benchmark media console plan, but then adapted it to our room and needs.
It's entirely made of plain wood (no plywood, except for the drawers bottom) which probably adds to the cost a little, but gives a very nice finish! All the boards (for table top, shelves and sides) are made from 1x4, assembled with wood glue and pocket holes.
The doors are made of glass cut to fit, and glued with silicone.
Only trouble was with the door hinges.. Since we wanted them to be concealed inside but I hate Euro-Style hinges, so we ended up finding Soss "invisible hinges" that conceal in the thickness of the door, and used a dremel as a router to install them... This proved a bit more challenging than anticipated, but all in all it worked out pretty well.
Sand carefully the pine with fine grain (~200) before staining, otherwise the dark stain will turn the wood almost black!
Built the Console Table - Wife Loved it!
Had to try to build the Patrick Rustic Sofa Table and though it was my first time trying something like this, it looked very do-able. Modified to 60" instead of the original length.
Mother's Day Coffee Table
My sweet wife wanted a new coffee table so I decided to build one for her. Thanks Ana White, mission accomplished!
Wood planter with trellis
This is a quick and easy cheap build. I priced planters this size at the store and they were about $75 with a trellis. I built this one for under $20. Thanks Ana!
