Instead of using 1x3's for the legs we used two 2x4's for the outside legs and then used 1x4's for the fillers. We also used 1x4's for the ladder. We will be adding shelving against the wall and we have a desk top that has been painted with dry erase surface which will give it a whole new dynamic. Project one of many is done :)
Made this for my Son and His Wife. They love it.
I built my daughter a coat tree from Ana's plans and it looks basically just like Ana's-even the same color. My daughter-in-law saw it and wanted one for my granddaughter's room to hold her dressup clothes but she wanted a natural look, instead of painted and her room is basically natural wood, red and white so this is what I came up with. I would never have even known I could build a coat tree if I hadn't tried Ana's first!! This one was super easy and cheap, made mostly with scraps and some varnish I already had. I had to buy the balls, dowel and letter S.
I would encourage anyone to build one of these if they have need of a coat tree. You could even make it adult size if you combined Ana's plans with these plans and screwed in some hooks.
This site features the queen size version of this headboard, I decided to build the King and use more elaborate molding pieces, which increased the cost. I stained the wood to a very close match although my mobile photos don't do justice to this claim. It took me about a week to complete with nights and weekend availability.

I love the way your headboard turned out. I would like the details on the wood used and measurements to make the king size version.

looks great. Did you use pine? Which stain did you use? I would like to be able to closely match the stained version of pottery barns addison too. Thanks!
Wanted a builtin hutch change the plans a little for depth and height. I used tempered glass instead of lexan for the last ability as lexan discolor and looks a little cheap. Mostly red oak plywood, but choose hard wood for shelves so they wouldn't sag and small desk drawers and doors because it was easier to buy it cut and cost effective. Wish I would have done the drawer faces hardwood also. I used maple on the bottom and decided I wanted more grainy look so finished the desk and top with redoak. Matches bottom trim which was red oak. Special ordered old style secretary desk hinges. I had them played $60 for both. I liked the look and they are stable. Time consuming building but impressive when done. Don't know why photos alway turn up sideways, tried flipping them and saving them same result...
Great table! Loved the build.

That turned out really nice! What finishes did you use?
This was my first time building furniture. I've restored and refurbished antique furniture for years and but never imagined building my own before. I have a small kitchen and had to modify the size to accommodate area space. I also added breadboard ends to the tabletop. I am now planning to build more furniture using your plans. Thank you Ana White for providing such a wonderful resource to help beginners build their own furniture!

WOW, you did such a great job! Love the finish choice and added breadboard ends. Thanks for sharing:)
we love ana's plans, and we love the way this one was executed by the bumper crop. check out more pics of our girl version and how we did it at http://www.iwantbdphotography.com/archives/2661

Used the original plans and customized it a little bit. Great plans !
Plans from the Tryde table plans. Added bottom shelf. Next up, Tryde end tables, one is done, other trying to plan it out to include a drawer. I added carriage bolts for looks, and black metal corners. So much fun!

Thanks Ana! You really were my inspiration to try and build furniture. With every build I’m getting more comfortable. I talk about you all the time when people ask where I learned... Ana White!
Thanks again.
btw. I really need rocking chair plans!

What kind of mods could you add in order to open the table top for a bin. Nothing deep, but a great place to keep a firearm, hide remotes etc.
I made mine with 1/4” shock/bungee cord instead which I preferred for this project but turned out great. Easy to follow and the easiest project I’ve ever made. Go for it!

To build this bed I combined the Camp Loft Bed with Stairs (Jr. height) plan with the height measurements of the Loft Bed. My son absolutely loves this bed!
My 13-year-old daughter asked me about making a stool, with the main requirement being it had to have a round seat. So I turned to this ana-white.com to see if I could find something that we could do and found the plans for the three-legged stool. The first one we made with the dimensions specified in the plans but she thought it was too short. So we made another one with longer legs and a larger diameter seat.
This was made from Red Oak trees that were cut down to clear a lot to build our home. We saved the trees with plans of making a dining room table. I used the Triple Pedestal Farm House Table plan and modified it for the size that we wanted to fit our space. The end result was just want we wanted!
I used paint stir sticks as the front of my bins!
I wanted the "bead board" look but to still have a natural wood grain that I could stain for the rustic look. I also really like being "frugal"
So my son and daughter-in-law have a new home, and lots of empty space. I told them to find a table they liked and I'd try to make it for them. They liked the PB benchwright table (http://www.potterybarn.com/products/benchwright-dining-table/http://www…) with the iron support pieces. I had to get creative for those using electrical conduit and some plumbing pieces that I spray painted black. I finished it exactly like Jen of House of Wood (http://jenwoodhouse.com/blog/2013/06/07/diy-dining-table/) and it turned out beautifully!
It was a fun project and they love it.
