Corner Shelf for Nursery
Super Easy.. I like it better without the doors. Recommend getting a KREG Jig. I have the Jr and it was perfect for this project.

I made five of your 2 x 4 Adirondack chairs. Well I started with one and then my wife wanted four more after she saw how it turned out. We absolutely Iove them and they are easy to make! Thanks Ana!

Those looks great, so happy to hear you're enjoying them!
I changed this plan and made it into Full size. Feel free to contact me if you would like more information about how to do this too.
I used the charging station plans as my first attempt at building something using pocket holes, and also my first real attempt at building any piece of furniture from scratch. I stuck pretty much to Ana's plans except for not cutting the front footer (I didn't own a jigsaw at the time) and using panes of frosted glass as the center of the doors.
As a piece of furniture it gets used every day, but it has been most invaluable to me as a learning experience. I've built many pieces of furniture in the time since I made the charging station, growing my skills each time. But this project was where I started, so it always feels a little extra special to me.
This table was built out of an old 5 panel door and some scrap would that we had lying around. old hinges and knob came from a local antique store. To finish the door my wife crackled the top and clear coated it.
Thank You Ana-White for the amazing plans for this beautiful farmhouse queen bed! Not bad for the first try!
This cubby was my very first project! I just finished remodeling my kitchen, all that was missing was a place for my keys, dog leashes etc. My little house doesn't have a proper entryway so I created a "welcome station" with this cubby. The trickiest part was definitely cutting the sides, but I was able to get those tight circles with a little forethought and a lot of sanding :) I used leftover paint and samples from choosing colors for the kitchen, so it automatically coordinated with the rest of the decor.
Love my new greenhouse !
I changed up the plans so this table would fit my space better. This was my first time building with a Kreg jig and a miter saw(I'm a newbie). Love how it turned out!
We too you’re 2x4 shelving unit with some small tweaking of measurements and added a barn door!
I was inspired to build this table after taking Ana's Adirondack Chair Class at Home Depot. Living in Fairbanks, AK means that the pickings are slim and pricy for quality furniture.
I shortened the table length to 5' to fit my space and made the benches 4' long and lined the legs up so they would fit comfortably under the table. I also made the chairs based on Ana's Parsons chair pattern.
Love the result! Your plans for this is fool-proof for someone like me. Easy to build… only after attempting use (4) 1x6 for top and messed up the corners to attach legs with my terrible jigsaw skills, I scratched the 4th board and went with the (2) 1x4’s on each side surface. I’m now in love with this style and plan on (finally) having matching new furniture, once I build some of the other pieces in this Parson style collection! Thank you for the plans
It was time for Addison to get a big girl bed. We used the Kentwood design and the trundle bed plans.
I made a small book case that includes a wine shelf.
It is all solid cherry. I used a shiplap paneling design for the back panel.
It is finished with many coats of natural color Danish Oil.
Here's a video of how I built it:

I built this set of cube shelves for my 3 yr old son's room. THANK YOU, ANA! I used poplar as I did not want to paint the wood and I love the irregular pattern of the wood grain. To save money, I used pine for the inner shelves and dividers. I stained it using the oxidized solution (http://www.friendly-home.net/2012/05/oxidized-x-console.html) that Ana recommended from the instructions of the Rustic Console. I added a cup of coffee to the solution to get a darker browner shade and unevenly sanded the wood for the distressed look. It matches the poplar wood more so than keeping the pine wood as is.
I also created a 5-tier version to match the 6 cube shelves but did not include the legs. I thought it would be more stable to keep the lower frame on the ground.
I purchased the storage boxes from Amazon It was around $20 for 6 boxes!
I am ready for the next project!
When I first saw the outdoor sectional plans from Ana I had to build this! The sectionals at potterybarn cost at least $1500 and that is without the cushions. I chose cedar for the lumber because I wanted a high end stained wood look that would stand up to the pacific northwest weather. I purchased most of the lumber from Orange and some of the smaller boards from a local lumber yard. Every board was cut first then sanded and stained before assembly. This made it look a lot more professional and no drips! There are just too many tight areas to do this after it is assembled. I made 2 Weatherly outdoor sofas and used the plans from the Weatherly loveseat to leave the end off of one of the sofas to make an L-shaped sectional. This fit perfectly for my narrow deck which is the beauty of DIY and Ana's easy to modify plans. I followed the suggestion of another brag post to attach the 2 sofas together with carriage bolts and nuts. It is important to be very accurate with all of the cuts because they have to fit together perfectly for the final product to look straight and measure correctly. Because there a about a million repetitive cuts in these plans I took the idea of another brag post and youtube and created a stop out of leftover lumber which really helped me keep my cuts accurate and saved me a lot of time. I really enjoyed using my new Kreg K5 pocket hole jig on this project which saved me time and my new Ryobi brad nailer that I convinced my husband I needed. I plan on using it on several projects which "require" a brad nailer! I bought six 25" cushions in turquoise from Pier 1 in mid-July which were on major sale and several pillows to match the color. I am somewhat of a beginner so I didn't adjust te plans to fit six 25" cushions so I had to have one cut down to 22" by a local upholstery shop (I could have purchased a 22" cushion but of course they were all sold out). I suggest at least a 3-4" depth cushion that is fairly firm, which Pier 1 cushion were.
I love the outdoor coffee table with built in beer cooler idea that another brag post had suggested.It uses a planter box as the cooler. I used the same stain which worked well and adequately waterproofed the table. It also has a cover for the cooler when it is not in use. I thought it was a nice addition.
I loved this project and how it turned out! Thanks for the plans and inspiration!!!
Great adaptations to the adirondack chair plan!

I found this fabulous vintage metal flat file cabinet at an antique store (Hunt & Gather Vintage Market, in Princeton, MA), but it didn't have a base or a top, so I went searching online for something that I could build. The Corona Coffee Table plans were going to be perfect! I just had to make a few adjustments:
LOVE how this table turned out! It's counter-height and the perfect centerpiece for my craft room.
I am so in love with my greenhouse, it is amazing the plans were perfect and it went up without any problems, your designs are amazing and beautiful. We are going to do the chairs next!!!
Beautiful media center, couldn't resist building it for our living room! Thanks Ana for such awesome plans!!

I love being able to go through the scraps and see if I have enough wood to make a project happen. Very satisfying! Thanks!

I love getting a good chunk of a project made out of scraps. I have yet to get an entire project made out of them, but I'm hopeful :)
I think I'm going to hire you for finish work--love this blue color!

Ha.. funny thing about that color... I'm really starting to hate it. I actually have that piece for sale right now. It was always going to be a temporary piece because I really want to build something to surround our gas fireplace and then have a flat screen above the fireplace.
I also learned a LOT when painting this piece and now I think I have painting furniture down to a science. ;-)
Thanks again for the compliment!

Personally I love the color, you did an amazing job both in building it and painting it, beautiful work!

I appreciate your compliment! I've actually been trying to sell this piece because I want to build something new, but no takers. I'm thinking it's because of the color, but until we do sell, we will certainly enjoy it! Thanks again!
I've posted pictures of these separately, but I'm so excited about how these things came together in my room! This is the reclaimed wood headboard (queen) and the mini farmhouse bedside tables (only 1 pictured but the other is identical). Thanks so much Ana (and friends) for these awesome plans which have given me a fun thing to do in my free time and also inexpensively furnish my house!
