I rasied it up abit and put the head board slats on the front of the headbard frame. Great design
This was the first time I made a piece of furniture since I was in grade 8 shop class and it won't be the last. It was so kuch fun. I modified the plans slightly to have the back a bit higher. Love it!
The Kids Adirondack Chair. I love these little chairs! Simple and easy to build. This one was a birthday present for my niece's daughter. Read more about this project on my blog.. Thanks Ana!!
Easy to follow, we made in a weekend. We tweeked our dimensions a bit but otherwise pretty straight forward. We ended up staining half and leaving other half natural then put a varnish over the entire shelf. Turned out pretty neat with the two tones.
Absolutely in love with this table. It turned out even better than we thought since this was my first diy project. We didn’t want to spend thousands of dollars buying a table similar to one we could make ourselves so we decided to give it a go. Our biggest issue with building it was the wood warping. We could only work on it every other weekend so the wood starting moving and it wasn’t on a flat surface. Definitely tie it down to a flat surface if you can’t build it all in a few days. We reinforced the breadboards with pocket holes on the inside and out because the first time we only did the inside, it snapped off. We used a lot of glue the second time around. Will definitely be making more tables in the future.
This was so much fun to build. I couldn’t decide on a finish, so I used three different ones.
Thanks for the plans!
This was a fun cute project to start with. My husband assembled it (though I wanted to do it he didn't let me). I used spray paint. Though I wish I had made it with a bit sturdier wood or maybe used wider sizes. but overall this turned out well and the kids LOVE IT! thanks Ana!
When I presented my husband with the plans for this piece that is inspired by "Restoration Hardware Printmaker’s Sideboard," I thought he would tell me I was crazy! But he looked over the well-written and thought out plans Ana provides and set out to tackle this cabinet. It turned out BEAUTIFUL! We are so happy with it and can't wait to decorate around it now.

Lovely! I want so badly to make this! But I've got a line of projects that must be done first. So I must be patient...

I know what you mean about line of projects! This one got bumped to the front:) And now lots of little things to do. Finding this website was a blessing (for me!) and a curse (to my husband). haha! I told him I get to build the next project!
I built this in a full size. Took some time to adjust all the measurements. I used cheap lumber since I was painting it and it cost a little over $350. Then I spent another $75 because I screwed up measurements. :). This was only the 3rd thing I ever built, so I think I did alright. The plans were great! Watched several videos on YouTube about squaring drawers and that helped.
Husband and I built this beauty over a rainy weekend. He had cut the wood a few weeks before, then we had to wait for a free weekend to assemble. We switched the placement of the walls around so the bed wouldn’t go over a heat vent and had to trim a few inches off the legs to fit with our lowers ceiling. I painted the back wall with chalkboard paint and we added shelves to the side like shown in the blogpost linked on the build page. We added a light above and Christmas lights below to brighten things up. A book sling and pulley with basket added the perfect finishing touches. All our boys love this magical new addition to our youngest son’s room and gave already spent many hours playing there.
Inspired from outdoor sofa and farmhouse table
This was my first project ever! I was very happy with the way it came out! I just did a little adjusting to get it the size I wanted =) Cushions for a decent price was very hard to find, I ended up going to walmart and I actually really like them.
It took me a while to complete as I have a little one (turned a yr the wknd I finished) and only worked at night and during naps!

This looks really nice, good job. Isn't it fun to build just what you want!
This was an adaption of the Fancy X Farmhouse Table using 4x4s as the base. Please check out my blog article for more details. Thanks for looking!

My first project with raw wood and power tools! All I have is a circular saw and electric sander, but it went really well. It took about 3 days because I couldn't work straight through (silly life and all it's appointments!). Thanks for laying out all the prep work with your instructions, Ana!! My next project is a cubby shelf for towels.

What a nice change! Great job. You should be proud of yourself!
This was a fun easy to do project that can be done in a day.
this was a super fun afternoon project! I used the specs for the Queen size headboard, and they were bang on. no modifications needed. i did reinforce with some screws from the back, as well as I used a 1x3 vertically in the centre of the back of the headboard, which i used to give extra stability to the horizontal pieces. i secured each horizontal board to it using 1" screws from the back, as my boards were not quite flush and I am a bit of a perfectionist! lol
I built this table for my wife. I added a 1/4 round to the edge of the table. She did all of the finish work including the top which is Unicorn Spit and epoxy. I turned out really nice. Thanks for the plans!
