Not much to say apart that some internal measures were different (!?) and that I used treated wood and covered everything with recyclable plastic.
Oh yeah, of course.... Thank you Ana!!
I wanted to make something for my mom so she could have a place to grow her herbs this year on the balcony for easier access instead of planting in the backyard. The project was stretched over a few days. Cutting on day one, sanding on day two, painting on day three and drilling and putting it together on day four.
With the exception of the legs, the entire bench was put together using the Kreg Jig mini. I added extra 1x4s to the legs. Though, next time I will change to either 2x4s or 4x4s for extra stability when sitting. I really love how it turned out. I almost don't want to put it outside.

I love how your bench came out! I am looking at doing something similar - two in sectional arrangement to use as project/work space seating and convert to spillover sleeping area (the table will lower to bench height). I have a question about stability.Even with the additioanl 1x4 are you finding this bench not very stable?
thanks!
This is a corner entertainment stand. I didn't have a plan to follow so I made it up as I went. The dimensions are 40" L xW and 27" tall. It has a base hidden underneath it help support the weight and is also screwed into wall studs to prevent tipping. The angle for the front cross section is 22.5 degrees. I made this for a friend. She is going to paint it unfortunately. Materials cost only around $120. 3 sheets 3/4" plywood, some 1x2s and a couple hinges and cabinet knobs.

This is REALLY a nice looking corner unit. In our living room, the ONLY place for the tv is in the corner. I have a prebuilt unit now that cost me quite a bit, and we hate it. Its all modern with glass shelves. This corner cabinet is EXACTLY what I want to build. I have a 1 year old so having doors to hide the electronics is a must.
I would VERY much like to build this. Are there any more detailed pictures or a plan I could download? Ive been searching for the last few days an just cant seem to find anything that catches my eye like this one.
Looks great!!

The shelves are made out of premium plywood. For the top, bottom, and the middle shelf, I measured and cut out on pieces of plywood. Then used plywood for the "walls" of the unit. I trimmed it with 1x2s. The doors are also plywood. I just rabbit jointed nice wood for the frame of the doors. Underneath the the TV stand is a 2x4 set back a little bit to give it that floating looking. It is anchored to the wall on the inside of the unit with screws going into the studs of the wall. I hope this makes since.
Thank you Ana for the great plans! We adapted the project for wood we had on hand. It is only 40 inches wide instead of 42”. Our widest pallet board was only 40”.
Thank you for continuing to inspire us! We made two couches a couple of months ago. Great plans!
Very clear plans and directions. My husband and I built these and the table in a weekend. We added a back and made a table from the scraps. First time of not chasing furniture that has blown away! We love them!
Just My Size Closet!
Built this from Ana's plans with a few modifications.
Started with a big empty box after ripping the old stuff out and finished with this look.
Adjustable shelves and all !
I accidentally found these plans on Anna's website when I was looking for deals on mattress sets.
After mulling it over a while, I decided to give it a try. It just so happend that it was our anniversary coming up, and I thought hey, better than dinner and a movie.
I reviewed the plans, and upgraded the wood to entirely knotty pine. Even the posts. Since I couldn't buy what the plans called for in knotty pine, I bought cheap pine shelving and milled the pine, then laminated for the posts, 2x4s, 2x6s and drawers. Easier to work with than plywood.
About 35 hours later, I finished the pieces and parts with Polyshades Royal Walnut, and voila!!!
My wife absolutely loves the bed, and now she even has a place to store more shoes!
Made this from the side table plan. I had to adjust sizes as i'm from Belgium. 2x4's aren't here. First project ever. It came out great with some modifications and such. I made the larger one, way too big so we use it as a storage in our hallway.
It costed me around 40 euros. All materials included, i had to buy everything. It took me a whole day to finish this. If your a total beginner like me, it will take some time.
Would I make it again? Yes, provided i have better equipment and better plan it up front.
I rated it intermediate because that is how it felt for me personally.
Some added storage for small kitchen appliances
This project was super easy, my husband and I did this together while I was 9 months pregnant with our other 2 kids and dog running around the whole time! We made the table and 2 benches for $250 including lumber and finishing supplies. Check out my blog for details.
This is probably one of my favorite pieces I have built. Challenging but fun. I built it as two separate sections, an upper and lower cabinet to make it easier to carry indoors. I added a full-extension drawer below for storage. The two-toned paint combination did take a lot of extra time. Because I used an airless spraying to paint I had to tape and cover each section separately.

WOW it looks awesome the extra time spent on the painting was more than worth it looks spectacular. I bet you also could make a great profit selling this Wardrobe either on line or in a consignment shop, if I had the need for one and the money I would defiantly buy one!!

I love all the attention to detail. Great job! I especially love the color selection. How did you achieve the look of the top stained piece?

Hi Ashley,
The top was built separate, stained, varnished and then attached to the painted wardrobe. :)

It looks really great!
I have fallen in love with it the second I saw it and somehow I am now convinced that I need a new wardrobe ;)
I guess you don't have plans for the wardrobe laying around - but would you mind doing a fast sketch (just a simple one on paper) with all the measurements noted? I would be thrilled to try building it myself in the summer.
Greetings from Germany!

Are there plans used for this beautiful piece? I do not see any links. Help please!! I absolutely need to make this armoire :) :)
Fri, 01/03/2020 - 08:09
Anyway I can get plans for this beautiful piece?

Love this wardrobe! Are there plans available to build it?
Thank you.
I have wanted a pergola for years and since we moved into our new construction in Dec. '12, I decided to finally go for it and add it to our new backyard plans. When I stumbled onto the plan on ana-white.com, I couldn't be more thrilled to see how simple of a project it was. I do not mean that it was an easy build by any means. I wanted a "beefier" look to it so I used 2x6 and 2x4's. The 4x4 posts are 10ft long (I was going to use 12 ft until I realized just how tall they were!). I stole the steel anchor post idea from the Popular Mechanics site and the "look" of the pergola from the Weatherly plan. I decided not to notch each beam due to time constraints and I just didn't think I need to. I did use zinc L brackets to secure the 2x6s to the support beams (also 2x6s). The top is stiff as can be but the bottom has a slight give to it since it is only four 4x4s sitting on post anchor brackets. I am planning on adding about 6 inches of concrete around the base of the posts (after my HOA "approves" the pergola) to stiffing the structure and then trim around the base for a more "custom" look to it. It will be similar style to the Weatherly except wider around the base so that I can set drinks on it. It took about 8 hours total and about an hour of that was setting the steel anchor posts (measuring and installing 2 1/4" red head screws into the 4" concrete slab patio).
I will stain it with a semi-transparent (BEHR brand) redwood-ish color in a few months after the PT pine dries.
We built these bunks for our boys, ages 4+6. The plans were super simple to follow. The frame was built out of scrap 2x6's and 2x4's. We did have to make a modificatioon on the ladder- it came up just short for some reason, so we added a 2x4 to the bottom.

Great job on the beds! That room looks awesome. I love the color selection.

Thank you!
I built this project totally from pallet wood and leftover 2x4's. I already had the paint and stain from other projects, so the only cost was for the baskets, which were $6 a piece at Ikea. This project turned out even better than I expected and I couldn't be happier.
My wife and I built your green house! It is turning out awesome! I just want to take the time to say thank you for the plans. You are a great designer and generous with your sharing.
Those are the first projects that I try to make. Thank you Anna White .
We love the style and finish on this fancy farmhouse desk, for more details visit Oak House Design Co.
We bought 40 pickets and built the privacy planter and these 2 beds with 2 pickets left over. Might need a planter box on the front porch 
By Terri!
I built a set of chairs and a coffee table for our newly designed outdoor area. These look amazing and people love sitting on them and hanging out outside our house.
These planters are exactly what we needed to warm up this blank siding! The smaller planters are made from pine, the larger from cedar.
I wanted my kids to have more space in their shared room, but I did not want to pay a ton of money for a new bunk bed. My husband and I found a plan for this bunk on Ana-White and fell in love with the design. It turned out so great that we will still be using it in our next home whether it's needed or not. We did change a couple of things on the plan that we didn't care for. The first is that we added a side rail for safety. Secondly we also traded the 1x6 boards on the head and foot boards for 1x4s on the top but kept the 1x6s on the bottom.
Mon, 01/09/2012 - 17:39
With pocket screws on the bottom and then one screw through the 1x4s into the post before the 2x4 on the top goes on. And then the 2x4 is screwed onto the 1x4 and post with trim screws.

Cost us about $300 and over an entire weekend of time spent on this project.
It's not for beginners. My husband has had many many years of experience in carpentry and woodmaking.
Good luck to you.
Also, he changed a few things in the plans we found in order to make it look better.
Thank you
Jillian

Cost us $300.00 to make and almost non-stop making it for the whole weekend. And then stained for hours.
This is with many years of experience in construction and woodmaking.
This is not a beginners project and then expect it to look amazing.
My husband changed these plans a bit to make it look better than the other ppls that we've seen on here.
But, good luck to you and make sure to have plenty of room and time.
Also, we had to make this bed in 10-15 different pieces and put together in the bedroom we wanted it in. There is absolutely no way it will fit otherwise.

I don't see how you could put the fill/twin over a queen since the queen is longer. Obviously you could spin the queen around and make it an L-shape but then you are looking at a different build.
Sat, 10/25/2014 - 22:28
I really like the look of this ... I'm going to try to replicate!
What does the bottom of the guard-rail look like? Did you space out your slats a little more than the original design? I like the 2x4 topper instead of the 1x6.
Sat, 02/28/2015 - 16:46
We made this bed over the course of a week, both of us have extensive experience in woodworking and building. Ours is very wobbly on the long axis. We had a friend who is a structural engineer come in and take a look. He offered suggestions to shore it up and nothing really worked. The 3/4" overlap is not enough to secure the side rails, imo, and we used a variety of brackets to make it not wobble, to no avail.
This bed is coming apart in a few weeks and will be stored. If it is ever used again, it will be as two separate beds. I spent about $400 on this. My son never felt safe sleeping on the top bunk and has slept on the bottom exclusively.
Just my $0.02.
