Grandkids LOVE IT!
Simple to build, took longer to paint it than it did to build it!

My husband and I loved the Squared2 Chair we saw on this site and we knew that we wanted to have this design for our dining chairs. As my building experience has increased, I thought it was time to try. This is my first chair: it is not perfectly executed, but I learned a few things along the way and I've decided to buy a few tools, too. I modified the square back pattern cut lengths explained briefly on my little blog.

Thank you for your comment, Pam! I'm sorry for the late response.
My husband loves to set outside and look out over our 10 acres with his coffee in the mornings. I thought this chair would be a great birthday gift to use for that purpose! It was fairly easy to put together. I just have to purchase some cushions and it'll be ready to give to him. I did modify a few things...used some 2x4s, changed up the back boards a bit and put some angle cuts on the arms. I'm very pleased with it! This is the third or fourth project we've made from Ana's plans. We just love them!
Thanks to Ana White for the free plans
I had the challenge to do a love seat Adirondack style
I did and it turned out beautiful and I’m very happy
I spent les than $100 (canadian)
Thanks Ana 🙏🏼
This was the first table that I built and turned out great.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this homeschool bookshelf my husband made from your plans! THANK YOU! We homeschool three children and the clutter was overwhelming! This bookshelf provides storage and a beautiful accessibility to supplies without the clutter! THANK YOU!

Nothing beats functional and beautiful! Thank you for sharing:)
This was a part of my recent bathroom remodel (new floor tile, shower tile, toilet, and vanity). The plans came out of looking at my favorite home sites, which for this were Ana White and Remodelaholic, and realizing that the vanities in my price were were cheap and not that cheap.
The vanity build itself didn't take that long but had to be done is small segments due to lack of one giant clump of time. Total wood cost was around $60, plus $5 for the gloss polyurethane, $60 for the sink (clearance) and $100 for the faucet. More importantly, the vanity fits the space that I had in the efficient bathroom.

I absolutely love this! What modifications did you come up with to make the door?
I saw a similar table on Shanty2chic.com and created my own version :)
My Grandson will be born any day now so I want to create a cozy environment for him. We still haven't put the bed up or added any of the decorations, but at least the changing table is finished . Painted walls, added new flooring, still have to customize the closet, but with Ana's help that will be a snap. I would have never gotten the courage to do some of the builds I've done without Ana's site. Thank You Ana!!!
I love this design and I constantly get people requesting tour of the house just to see this table. Simple and beautiful.
My husband and I made the table and chairs for our screened porch. We really like how the project turned out. Many more Ana White projects on the our list!
Love, love, love your projects. I have made 3 of the modern 2 x 4 chairs, with a modification. I had purchased both seat and back cushions for my chairs and the back cushion had nothing to lean back on, so I added some height and personality to the chair.
Your plans are easy to follow and make very nice, heavy furniture that I know will not blow away and end up in the field next to my house. Keep those plans coming!
I wanted to try attempt the beam table and my son's wedding rehearsal dinner was the perfect reason. My wife liked the table so much, she asked me to make three more. Because they will be used in our new wedding venue business, I wanted them to to withstand the weather. The materials were quite a bit more expensive as I used 10 ft x 3 ft x 2 3/8" thick redwood butcher block planks for the tops and cedar 4 x 4's for the bases. Stained and sealed with Cabot sealant. What do you think?
Decided to build these as I could find anything tall enough to be bedside tables. Easy to follow plans that came together quickly.
I built the Simple Bed for one of our kids and now we wanted a bunk bed. I saw many plans for bunk beds based on the Simple Bed plans, but I didn't want the ladder on the side. I made some changes and designed the bed in 3D using Autodesk Inventor. It didn't turn out much different than I planned. It's super heavy, but very stable. My wife did a great job on the stain.

The beds look amazing!
Did your wife stain the bed after it was assembled?
If so, how long did it take her to stain it?

Ana White storage daybed with baskets! Of all the projects I've done based on Ana's plans, this is my favorite. It was my first staining project EVER so I was terrified. I am so in love with how this turned out. The boxes were made using birch plywood and the trim was all pine. Lots of gorilla wood glue (I think it's the least drippy) and a mix of nails (using our new nail gun) and countersunk screws. I used screws for the plywood and nails for the trim. After sanding... and sanding... and sanding... :) Finish is two coats of Minwax Red Mahogony stain (conditioned it first) and then three coats of Minwax Fast Drying Polyurethane in semi-gloss. Did I mention how much I love this color????? I did my best to get all of the glue sanded out, but I did miss in a few spots (end of this cubby...) But I am still thrilled because you can hardly notice. I've used a miter saw before, but never MITERED corners like this and I am so proud of my self with how they came out! :) I used longer, narrow felt pads along the bottom of each bench (for on each). On the bed is the Katy 5-Piece Daybed Set from Amazon. I got the sweater-like throw on Overstock.com. Baskets from World Market! :)
I have been searching for a way to maintain some neatness in my garage. Search stopped the second I found these plans. I am able to fit everything I need while keeping the garage neat and full of open space! I would most definitely recommend this build for anyone looking to save space, build something that is practical, and is completely customizable. Also, it took a buddy of mine and myself a day of hanging out to get the project done to include breaks for pizza!
I made these last summer for my sister. And she didn't even use them yet! Very easy to make. She did want them taller, so that is the only modifacation I made. We're hoping the bunnies won't notice all the yummy veggies up this high :) I know, probably wishful thinking. Makes a great kid corral too.
Added a little extra back rest. Made a double chair in the process of making a 3 cushion couch.

I really like the backrest. I built the chair as is from the plans but found it really needs the backrest. Can I ask how you attached the backrest screw-wise and what the angle is? It looks like the backrest might have been screwed on from underneath the armrests before the armrests were screwed to the body of the chair. Am I thinking in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Can I please get the plans for the backrest?
Thanks!
First cabinet in my kitchen remodel.
