West Elm knockoff bed
Built from full size bed plans from Jen Woodhouse. Very happy how this turned out.
Took tips from Jen Woodhouse mixing some stains together.

I rnjoy your post and the things you create. Very practical furniture to be used. Hung these barn doors over a closet I built in a bonus room. They worked out great. Thanks Anna.
This was my first project for our newly purchased house. I built it in the 1-car garage and patio of the duplex we were living in prior to our move. I haven't put the trim pieces on yet because it we moved and started using it the day after I got it screwed together.
So this was my first project copying the plans for my simple outdoor sink and sturdy work bench. I used the same wood and measurements.
The sink was purchased about 5 years ago in Mexico. Faucet and drain at Lowe's. I took the sink to Lowe's to have them color match the bowl and used the same paint.
I decided to use four boards for the bottom shelf plus one as a back stop. I also had to space the top two bracers farther apart because the sink was 17 inches deep ( make sure you measure the sink first. I made the mistake of assembling the base and finding out afterwards that the sink wouldnt fit.

Oh I used the cut out from the sink and added a fold down handle. It is used as a cover for the sink and doubles as a cutting board/ serving tray.
This project took a day to build and about four days to stain with a day of drying in between each coat. Great plans! I love my new couches!
I changed the dimensions and design slightly but used the grandy plans as a starting point. Some changes had to be made due to wood choices. I had to flip the rollers behind the doors as they came out too thick, but I like the look of seeing the whole door. Overall, I’m very pleased with how this turned out.
72”x34”x16.5”
Surprisingly sturdy table and easy to do in a couple hours. I took the added steps to cut the corners at 45 degree angles and took a router to the outside edge of the table top and seats (rounded edges not shown in photo). The kids love it.
I loved this plan and used some furring strips of wood we already had. Will use finished wood next time. It cost about $5 for the wood and hardware and I already had the fabric. I did use decorator fabric instead of outdoor fabric. Which means if it's left outdoors it will fade faster than outdoor fabric. If anyone doesn't sew but wants to make this chair, please email me at [email protected] because I have a sewing business and can make the chair seats and even monogram them.

This is our take on the Farmhouse Bedside Table made from beautiful beetle kill wood. :D

I love the beetle kill pine, that is what I picked up last night from HomeDepot to make mine with. Great Job!
Made out of spruce to keep the cost under fifty dollars.
This was my first AW Buid and I loved it! I am a beginner and the video was so easy to follow. The only thing I needed (and still need) is how to do the off cut angles. I've made several since this one. Love the modern design too. Thank you Ana!

Thank you so much for sending in a photo! I'm so glad to hear the chair plans worked out well for you. This is one of our most favorite chairs too!
We have a room in our basement that has very dark paint on the walls and NO windows, so we were looking for options to add lamps, as well as brighter colors to offset the darkness. I built two modified cabin collection end tables (no doors and the tops overhang by about an inch) for the lamps we already had. Once the tables were done, I saw the plan for the squared headboard and decided it would make an awesome large scale wall decor for cheaper than anything I could buy at the store. I modified the plan but cutting the "legs" down to 34.5 inches, but otherwise followed the plan pretty closely, laying out the pattern completely before I began assembling. It was a tedious process, but well worth it! (I used my kreg jig on both.)
As a side note, our 2x2's are NEVER straight, so I usually glue 2 1x2's together and sand the seam so it appears as one piece of wood.

This my dear is the basement that Ana White wishes she had! Love the wall decor! Adds just the right touch! And cute little end tables! The wall color is perfect too!
Just added my own twist to awesome project!
Built in an afternoon. I built them from a picture on Ana White website and modified a bit with both planes. Roll Tide was routed into a piece of wood and glued to the sides of the plane. The "A" was cut out on the band saw and finished on the scroll saw. The "T" on the orange plane was painted on The tri plane is the favorite. Roll Tide !

This was an easy build and after 2 months I am still in LOVE with it:)

We have a HE front-loading washer and because of the power of the spin cycle, it vibrates/moves a lot. Anyone who has these pedestals have problems with that? I don't want a very expensive washer to take a tumble. :)
When I saw this project on Ana's site I had to make it. It turned out great and get's compliments from all my friends.
The only modifications I made were to the top. I used 2x6 boards and did breadboards on each end.
I documented my build with photos and did a 10 minute video tutorial showing the whole process of building Ana's table.

I really like the stain you chose and the overall project! The breadboard ends adds a little something more...I may do the same when I get around to making this desk!
This oversized reclaimed barn wood dining table measures a whopping 96″ by 54″ – that’s quite a dining room table, with seating options to easily fit ten people. You can comfortably sit three adults on each side of the table, while also accommodating two adults on each end. In a pinch, you could actually fit four adults on each side of this table while having the two still sit at the ends; having four kids on the sides would not be a problem at all.
This table top was constructed from 2×6 and 2×8 beams, while the base was built out of 4×6 and 4×4 posts. I believe “behemoth” may be a proper word to describe it, as I even had to deliver the top in multiple pieces and assemble it on site. The benches were also constructed mostly from 2×6 beams harvested from the same barn as the material used in the table itself. We added a light coat of Provinicial stain to help bring out some uniformity in the color, and finished with a few coats of liquid wax to help protect the table. We informed the client of the trade offs of using a wax instead of a polyurethane, but they really preferred the “softness” of the wax finish and understood that they will have to reapply every year.
