What Wood You Do?
To our friends on Twitter and Facebook this’ll be old news, but last week we shared an amazing site…
….full of plans to make your own knock-off furniture (like a sweet West Elm Parson’s Desk). And, well, everyone went nuts over it.
So we just had to share the link with the masses over here on YHL (but feel free to friend us on Facebook and Twitter for fun sale alerts and other great websites that we dig up). I mean, we’re not talking basic and boring furniture plans, we’re talking about clean-lined and amazing pieces your friends won’t believe you actually made. Like this…
… and this…
What do you think? Afraid it’s too DIY for ya? Many of the plans are totally doable for even the most inexperienced novices, and there are definitely some expert-level plans for the show-offs out there (send us pics!). All we know is that every time we visit we’re left inspired to try our hand at building something soon. But what to choose…

oh my gosh, what a FANTASTIC SITE!!! thanks for much for sharing, YHL! i will 100% be referencing this for many of our home DIY projects at http://www.casacullen.com! you guys are just the best! woo woo
Wow! This is amazing. I already have hubby planning to make me one of the faux PB coffee tables this week… I can’t wait!!
Fan-freaking-tastic! Thanks so much J & S for linking us up with Ana’s site. This came at the perfect time for us too! We moved a year ago to a much larger home and don’t have the furniture to fill it up! On my “MUST HAVE” list right now is a storage bench for our mudroom, matching end tables for our living room, a computer desk, book cases for our two kiddos’ rooms, and a little table for our kitchen, and this site has plans for ALL of them! PERFECT!
I LOVE Ana’s site. I found her last month, and she had 35 followers. Now, she’s over a thousand! Ana is a super star!
So far, we have made the Pottery Barn Hyde coffee table, the Pottery Barn Hyde side table, two Pottery Barn Kids knock-off nightstands, and now a “barn wood” picture frame for our son’s poster. All of these things would have cost us near 2000 dollars retail, and we made it all for a couple hundred! I think our to-do list is now a mile long, and I can’t wait to build our next piece of furniture, an entertainment center for our daughters bedroom! For anyone who would like to try one of her plans but are too afraid to try, go for it! If we can do it, so can you!! :)
i just joined that group last week! i love it.
