Sewing Table
We built this cart for my mom, and she loved it! Already having other people asking us to build one for them too. We're going to try and modify the design a little and make a cart for the kitchen, should be fun!

This plan was a lot of fun!! I have been wanting a laundry sorter for some time now and this one fits in my laundry room perfectly!!
The pull out works awesome!!
I designed and built this canopy bed without knowing Ana had already done a toddler canopy bed! Talk about reinventing the wheel. I should have known she already had plans up. ;)
Full plans are on my site, but I thought I'd add this as a brag post instead of a project plan since Ana's plans are already here. They're different, but the end result is very similar!
I made this for our kids for Christmas. It was originally meant for their costumes but we loved the size, so we decided to use it for toys and a bench for meals at family gatherings. We're so happy with how it turned out!
Thanks, Ana for the plan! We were remodeling a nearly 60 year old bathroom and a store bought vanity would absolutely not fit. Using your awesome plans, we were able to get a vanity that would fit, and be one of a kind.

Love the look of this cabinet, stunning! Thanks for sharing:)
When I got it all put together it just seemed to be missing something,so I went back and routed the name of the name of the bnb that I made it for.It was still missing character so I took the torch to it and finally stained it.I think it has character now maybe?
Not experts, just 2 enthusiast woodworkers. And 3 months is how long it took us to build this canopy bed.
My hubby and I took the weekend to remove the loft and twin bed that was squeezed underneath it to give our boys more space in and around their beds. Thanks for the idea Ana, we like wood, but we also like color so the beds where stained two colors one for the frame and one for the slats. The boys chose red and blue, and green and black. We decided to hang the beds with chain from a stud in the ceiling. They were so exicited to sleep in their new beds that i believe bedtime will be much easier! Thanks Ana
I am so very happy on how this bench turned out. I am new at building things and so I asked my husband to help me we did this in a day. now I have 3 people that want one (family of course.)

Entry Way Table with Slatted Bottom!

So perfect with the bottom shelf! Love this! Thank you so much for sharing a photo!
I used the basic construction of the turned leg coffee table, but used 2x4s screwed together for the legs, added a couple of supports, and made the dimensions larger (38.5" x 62" for a dining table that seats 6). I used pocket holes for all the joints and it came together pretty easily. (One day, though, I am going to build a project without drastically altering the plans. One day.)

Where are those chairs from??
Ps. The room looks great.

The chairs are from Overstock. Here's the link:

Thanks!
I got a saw for Christmas and decided to make Christmas presents right away. This was my first project and both of the recipients were very happy with their presents. I have gotten a ton of compliments on the pieces. The blocks were very easy to make, the frame took a little more work.

I know its been a while and may not get a response, but have to ask if you hand sanded the corners? Also, the frame, any tips?
I built this for my son's first apartment to match the Rustic X Coffee Table I built. His living room is small so I needed to make a narrower version of the end table. Because of this, I decided to not build the "X". It turned out great! Thanks Ana!
This is my very first build ever! I learned so much from this project. I also bought my first power drill and brad nailer for this project. My husband helped me cut the wood pieces to my measurements and I did everything else. I never knew how fun woodworking can be!

This room is absolutely gorgeous! You did an awesome job- love all the finishes and colors, and the fantastic chairs!

Agreed! Huge accomplishment! I can't believe you made 6 chairs! And they all look so nice and well made! Thanks for sharing, it's a lovely room!

I love the painted chandelier! This is a cool room, and you made the whole thing. wow.

Thank you for all these compliments. I don't speak English very well because I'm french but I will try to make me understand. I built a chair with the modifications to see the result, then, I made all the cuttings with my miter saw for the 5 other chairs, then I made every chair within half an hour. I cut all that it was necessary foam and fabric in one step and I sewed everything for covers. To make covers, I made a paper pattern, then I sewed them in 10 minutes.
I am very happy I found this site with all that wonderful projects. It's my favorite site . Thank you Ana, you changed my life!

The covers of the chairs come out. I used ana's plan to make chairs and covers. I modified the cover's plan to fit the chairs because I made them taller. It is very practical because I have a four-year-old girl even if I have no cat and no dog =)

I love your chairs and especially like the extra height. How tall did you make the backs of the chairs?
I used the plans from the Ridge Media Console, but modified it a tad. I adjusted the measurements for my space and used pallet wood for the lower shelf. I also decided to make a drawer instead of the flip down storage.
This table is the perfect size to fit our entry way, I just love the dark walnut bottom with the white top. It is just the right piece in its space, and was super simple to put together. We modified the plans a bit, instead of using liquid nails we used the kreg tool and screws to assemble. We also just used one board for the top of table and taped off more of the base and painted it white to give it the illusion of a thick top.
Built from plans on this website, with some modifications.
i used 8-ft x 16-in x 3/4-in edge-glued boards from Lowe’s for the shelves. Instead of cutting the boards to length, I widened the console slightly to accommodate.
I added an extra shelf to increase storage. I also added vertical dividers between the shelves to increase strength and prevent sagging.
The top is an 8-ft x 20-in edge-glued board with a piece of 1x4 board added on at each end. I then added strips of 1x2 underneath on all sides to create an overhang. The top is not fastened on with screws or any other fasteners. Its weight keeps it in place, and being removable will make it easier to move the console, if necessary, in the future.
I couldn’t find a commercial stain that had the “red barn” look I wanted, so I used latex paint thinned with an approximately equal amount of water.
We have not added the final details but the chairs are already getting regular use. They are very sturdy so the girls use them for climbing as much as they do for sitting. I was a little worried that my chairs would not sit correctly but following Ana's "trick" for leveling them out worked like a charm. Now we just have to find the time to make two more so the girls will have room to accommodate friends when they visit... but there is that long list of other projects on my "to do" list... Thanks Ana! we are growing more confident every day! ;-)

Nice drop leaf stand
Great job! I was pondering whether to do this as my next project. It looks beautiful. What kind of hinges did you use?
