Thanks for great Farmhouse bed plans. Easy to follow material list, cut list and instructions.
I built this makeup vanity to fit a 40" wall. I was inspired by the design of the DIY breakfast bar. The hutch sits on the top and has plenty of storage. The front drawer fronts are hinged at the bottom, this storage space holds a hairdryer and iron or makeup with a cord pass through at the back. The stain is a mixture of three colours.

Can you link to the plans you based your inspiration off of? I can't seem to find it on the site. Thank you!
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.
Full size storage bed with trundle. Three drawers and a trundle on one side and four drawers on the other. I started with the farmhouse design (headboard and footboard) and modified it to make it not so heavy and I designed the rest using SketchUp. See more photos in blog link.
King size bed. Aged the maple headboad per the plan, but then sanded to lighten the effect and sealed with a finishing wax. Trim is white milk paint.
Why an octagon shape? I wanted a round table and my husband wanted square, so we met in the middle and built this! Very easy and fun to build!

I love this! It looks great and sturdy (and heavy! lol). just curious, where did you get your chairs?

Thank you! I got the chairs from Target from the carlisle collection. :)

Thank you for the reply! We have a beautiful old solid wood turned-leg farmhouse table (and matching chairs) that has been in my family since the 60's that needs to be refinished, but it just isn't our style. So we're thinking of building our own in our more modern style but would have to get chairs to accompany it. I LOVE these, so I think we've found our new chairs! I hope our table turns out as beautiful as yours.
I still have plans to refinish the old table and pass it along to someone who will show it as much love (aka abuse) as it received in my childhood...
Don't get in this bed swing unless you have time for a nap. This is a modified version of the "large modern porch swing". Very comfortable to lie down and swing. The mattresses are 2 baby crib mattresses that I found really cheap at a yard sale and on Craig's list. I probably should have shortened it several inches to fit the crib mattresses, had I known in the beginning that was what I was going to use. I made the swing myself, but had help with the A-frame. My friends are envious.
This was a fun build, though it took me quite a while because I decided to paint the interior. I ended up making it twice as wide to accommodate our six chickens. It took some planning but in the end I had essentially two coops side by side with no dividing wall between them. I also doubled the size of the run.
I cheaped out on the plywood and went with 1/2" - there was a big difference in cost as plywood was hard to find at the start of the pandemic. Using 1/2" turned out to be a big mistake. The 1/2" plywood warped quite a bit after I had painted it making it difficult to use the doors. I may have to replace the doors eventually with 3/4".
Overall I'm very happy with the end result. It's been easy to clean and maintain and the girls seems quite happy in it. This is one of the best looking coops I've come across. Thank you for these fantastic plans!

Love the double wide modification plus the extra work on finishing it, is the cherry on top! Thanks for sharing!
I extended the landing and added rails.
Mon, 06/01/2015 - 12:06
I love your modifications with extending the landing. Do you have more pictures that show the whole thing? Did you by chance write down any notes with what you did differently? We are building this bed next week and would love to make a "deck" like you did.

Hi, Ana here! I might suggest something like this -
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_original","fid":"3154931926","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"834","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"891"}}]]
Basically just increase the length of the side pieces first to however long you would like the deck to be.
Then, if you need extra support, add legs on the inside of the platform where needed. On the front side if you are doing railing you could even extend the front leg up so it is part of the railing too.
You may need to add additional supports for the deck boards, shown in green above, but this should be easy enough to do.
Hope this helps!
For anyone who is interested in building their own glass-top vanity with pull-out drawers :)

Hi Ana, where can I find the instructions for this project?
I've been wanting to make this for so long! I still have a couple blemishes to touch up but I'm super pleased with how this turned out. Easy construction and tons of customization options! THANK YOU ANA!!!
I built this bench for a Christmas present. She loves to work in her garden and I thought this would be the perfect touch. The plans were easy to follow. I made a few minor adjustments to fit the lumber I had on hand. The center bench is only 4 foot wide so I could conserve on the amount of 2x4 I had to buy. I thought the bench turned out great!
Our kids love this table. Everyone had to put their handprints on it!
I made this for my sons pirate party. It has an entrace under the plank to the pirateships "basement"
We used carraige bolts to make the legs removable. Very happy with the results!

You did an amazing job on this. I love it! Which plans did you follow for the chairs?
Thu, 02/07/2013 - 05:12
I used Ana White's plans for Vintage Bar Chairs. I think I modified the chair backs a little to make sure little arms wouldn't get stuck.
Thu, 02/07/2013 - 05:05
Your work deserves a lot of kudos. Really great work and the stain is professional.
Thu, 02/07/2013 - 05:16
Jake,
Thanks so much! I spent about two months working evenings and weekends as weather permitted, to complete this project. My daughter chose two stain colors and we mixed them together. I'm happy with the way the color came out.
Thu, 11/21/2013 - 18:27
I made the same 30" tall bar stools. I love the whole look of your set. Did you adjust the height of the table for the chairs? Or is the table high enough for these chairs? Also, did you make the table top smaller?
You did a great job!
Sat, 11/23/2013 - 18:13
Debbie,
Thanks so much for the compliments! My daughter didn't like the "plank" version of the table top so I used oak plywood and framed it with oak 1X4s. I believe the measurements of the table are 48" by 48". I don't think I adjusted the chair height but I did add a foot at the bottom of the table legs. That may have added an inch or so to the overall height of the table.
Tue, 02/10/2015 - 13:22
I really like how you added the foot and removable legs to this table! I would like to make mine with removable legs as well. How did you modify the table to use the bolts?

Hello! This plan is EXACTLY what I am looking for except there is a huge difference.......it will be the ritual platform for a traditional Tibetan Sand Painting. I am seeking a plan just like this for a square table that is 6' square and 3 1/2' high......is it possible to purchase a plan of that dimension or does anyone have a recommendation where I can find that. THIS would be truly lovely in this design. THANKS for any help!!!
Thu, 07/16/2015 - 12:08
I really just followed the Ana White plans for the Pub Table but used one solid piece of plywood instead of the 1x4s for the top. Since plywood comes in 4x8 foot sheets, you might need to get creative to get it to 6 feet. Good luck, and don't forget to post pictures when you finish!
Thanks for the great plans. I modified them slightly by building a 60x40 farmhouse style top and a double pedastel. The other change is that I made the side 4x4s into 2x4s.
Fri, 08/12/2016 - 12:58
Your table looks great! Love the farmhouse top and your revisions.
Would you mind sharing what dimensions you went for the table top and what width you went on the doubt pedestal length?
THanks so much!!! I hope I get to have one like yours someday soon :)
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!
With another total lockdown happening here in Cyrpus, right at the same time as my Daughter will be on Easter holidays, I'm trying to knock up as much outdoor play kit as I can to keep her entertained and off the iPad.
The design of this was very simple, a 2x2 frame clad with T&G; the countertop, shelves, and roof are from marine grade baltic birch (the roof also has additional levels of water prof membranes, root barriers, etc to support the living roof).
Finish-wise, for the pinks and blues, I've used wood aqua by Kraft paints, and for the counter, shelves, and picnic bench, high protection wood stain in walnut by V33.
