Lots of sanding and staining but love how everything turned out. Very sturdy and doesn’t creak when you jump into bed.
This is a coat rack that I recently built for a friend of mine who was struggling with a way to organize her kiddos' coats and packs. She doesn't have a coat closet off of the entry way, so we installed this wall-mount tree design on an interior hallway as you enter the home. This would also be cute in a kid's room or a mudroom. I posted step-by-step instructions with pictures on my blog at www.momthebuilder.net. Let me know what you think!

It looks like your blog is down. Is it posted anywhere else, or could you send the plans to me?
This was a custom build for one of my clients in San Diego, CA (Encinitas). She wanted a 9 foot buffet to store all of her kid's toys in :).
We came up with the design, and I built it right before my wedding (probably my most stressful build! haha).
I built the Farmhouse X Desk with full extension drawers instead of shelves.
We made these toy chests for baby shower gifts. We followed the plan for the most part. We skipped the notching on the front of the chest, and opted to upholster the top. I added names to the front as well to personalize them a bit as well. Overall, it went pretty smooth, once we got going. The plans were clear and easy to follow. This was our first build off of plans from Ana-White, and I think they turned out pretty nice!

Such a sweet gift - made with love I can tell. Great job!
A smaller version of the original plan, intended to be a nightstand for our bedroom.
We had been looking for a headboard for our son for the longest time, but could never find anything we liked in the shade we needed in the stores. Fell in love with this bed, thought it was one of the more "boyish" styles that I've seen which was what I wanted for my son. Asked my husband if he thought he'd be able to build it, he said he'd try and voila! We, however, modified the plans a bit and only made a headboard, but overall, I love it!
I originally built this for a small closet in an old home. When I moved, I took it with me and was able to rearrange it to fit in a traditional closet. The center section is a modification of a toy storage plan that I use to store folded clothes.
Liked the plan took way longer to sand and get everything cleaned up than it took to build.
1x3 slats for under the bed.
Made it extra high just full 8’ boards for the posts and added extra railing and dropped a 12” twin in.
It’s super sturdy, used scraps to add a headboard where the stairs are.
Turned out well
I basically stuck to the plans, but I shortened the length of the table just a touch, and lengthened the bench to fit just inside the legs. I also used 2x4s for the legs, tapered them for aesthetics (similar to some other posters), and reinforced them with "L" brackets to reduce the wobble. We finished it with Semigloss white paint, Minwax Honey stain, and Minwax Gloss Polyurethane.
If I can make this table, just about anyone can.

Your table is beautiful!
Do you remember how you tapered your legs? I'm trying to figure out if I can do it without a table saw.
Thank you!
Definitely not perfect and it took me a little while! But so glad I found these plans and was able to add my little personal touch to it!
Finally! The cedar pieces for this planter have been cut for a few months, and I assembled it a couple weeks ago. Unfortunately I had to use a lot of wood filler & glue to hide imperfections so it was painted to match our house trim. My strawberry runners from last season were begging to be moved. They should love this new home. I'm learning! Next project is an outdoor coffee table. --Susan
This was my first project. I used Douglas Fir from a great lumber yard in Houston. I used DIYPete's cocktail for the grey finish then applied 4 coats of tung oil by hand.
Made from 1x3 and 2x2 pine furring strips and a piece of 1/4" scrap plywood. I added an additional support across the center of the bed to provide some extra strength as was suggested in the tutorial. Painted with Benjamin Moore Select Soft Gloss White. Mattress is a foam pad inserted into a pillow case which is folded over to make it easy to wash. The bedding was purchased through TreasuresDollShop located on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/shop/TreasuresDollShoppe
The counter height farmhouse table plans were so helpful! Thank you Ana White! I replaced plywood on top with 2x8s and added a shelf underneath the table for some kitchen storage! I am in love thanks again😍 Follow me on Instagram @abbbclark_homeee for more home renovations, decor and DIY!
I changed the this plan to make it into a puppet stage for my niece's birthday.
I added a curtain rod and made some curtains to fit. I put two shelves in the back, but I put dowels in along the shelves so she could put her puppets on them for easy storage. I used a piece of a sheet of wainscotting for the front of the bottom.
I also put chalkboard paint at the top to allow her to write the name of puppet show that she is performing.
I was able to use some scraps that I had around for quite a bit of it, so it was pretty inexpensive.
The pictures are not great and I wish I would've taken pictures of the back before I gave it as a gift, but the kids are having lots of fun with it. I'll have to take some better pictures the next time I visit.
Husband wanted a shoe shelf for the back door entry, and I needed a quickie weekend project, so this fit the bill. Adapted from fix this build that's plan, but modified for a smaller space and less shoe storage. Easy project, and looks great.
I made my bins 36 incheg to fit my space. My big box blue store has 1x12x8 utulity shelving boards for $13 compared to $27 for the 12 footers.

This is super cute! It looks similar to mine! Thanks for sharing!
This is a table and bench that I built for our patio!
Easy weekend project.
I’m so thankful I found Ana White’s site, like, 10 years ago. She’s inspired me so much and helped me to know I could build stuff! This is far from the first thing I’ve built but it’s absolutely the most complex! I was able to find a bunch of wood free locally from a construction site (they posted it online) and some friends had some old plywood they were kind enough to give us. Even with most of the wood covered, the cost of hardware and other supplies still took us over $200. I worked on it during the day for the last few weeks around our homeschooling schedule, so it did take quite a bit of time. I also had to modify it to work with the wood I had and I wanted to make it bigger inside. But it’s finally finished and our little chickies seem quite happy so far!
