Almost finished but I managed to alter the plans into a full over full! Just use 2×4 instead of 2×1 and use 2×6 for the legs.

I used Ana's Laundry Basket Dresser plans but I added a drop-down ironing board and and made the entire top surface ready to iron on. A swing-out leg under the ironing board helps to stabilize while ironing.

We built Two children's table and 8 stackable chairs for one of our daycare's. It took a lot of work but once we figured out the first chair it was a breeze for the other 7.

Or use the same plans with the exception of I extended the height so I could actually walk into the run fairly simple to assemble I would strongly recommend an air compressor staple gun or you'll end up with four arms like Popeye

Our old firebox had rusted out through improper installation. So, we took it out and built a 7” bump out directly in front of it. The best part was, the new electric fireplace fit the old firebox location perfectly. Since my wife wanted a stone appearance, we purchased two ¼” 4’x8’ decorative panels that she then “schmeared.” For the mantle, we used pin oak milled from our property. I used three boards to create a faux beam to provide the look we are very happy with. The hearth consists of four walkway pavers.

I modified this design to fit the specifications I wanted for a coffee table. I think it worked out perfectly for what I wanted. I made the base completely out of scrap I had laying around, and I bought a 36" round top from my local Lowe's store.

I combined Ana's plans for Daybed with Storage Trundle Drawers and a Storage Headboard with a Small Hutch.

This is my 3rd daybed with storage drawers. It's such an easy build and gives so much extra space. The entire project took about 40 hours. I used Minwax stain in Classic Grey and three coats of polyurethane. For the drawers, I used 1.5" casters. I drilled a hole through the back of the headboard to feed cords through. Then I put the whole thing in the back of my truck and drove 500 miles for the final assembly. :)  In the provided photos, some of the pieces are flush because I hadn't permanently attached them. 

Our first woodworking project! A sewing desk that was featured on this site.

I wanted a jig/guide that would allow me to cut multiple pieces of wood exactly the same length using my Mitre saw. Designed this Jig and apart from the 4 screws you see everything is pocket holes. Now when I build from Ana's plans and my own designs I can guarantee all the pieces that need to be the same length will be!!

This was the first time I had ever worked with some of the tools and really done any serious building.  We built a new deck onto the back of my home and I could not stand the cost of the furniture to make it complete.  Thank you Anna I have become fearless with tools!!  Our deck has become even more special!!

this is my intro to woodworking by myself and i think the table turned out ok. ana's website sure helped allot.

I used Ana White's awesome design, but needed access for my printer scanner combo, so I modified the design and created sliding shelves. I also substituted a sheet of butchers block for the top in lieu of plywood.  

Thank you for an incredible design, that has been used by at least 3 of my friends because they loved mine so much!!

I had trouble with this project. I wasn't sure of the terminology, off square and such. It went well, I ended up not putting the truss part on due to not paying attention when cutting the wood.

This is my very first Ana White build! I needed a table to go into my craft room and stumbled upon Ana White. What an AMAZING site! After browsing and finding many projects i would like to give a whirl i finally decided on this modern craft table. My husband and I have worked together on many different projects and decided we would try this one. The plans were very easy to follow although we did make a few mistakes along the way. I painted it white and finished with several coats of poly. All in all we love it and have a list of other builds to do next.
