I enjoyed this project. Easy instructions. Great results.

One of my daughters recently was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. We are raising money to get a Service Dog for her and I was able to throw together this awesome Lemonade Stand from your plans, Ana. Thanks for the fun and QUICK project that will hopefully help my daughter with her fundraising goals. {Son not included with lemonade :)}

I modified the plans like another brag poster did. How I built this is explained on my site. Thank you so much to the other poster for the inspiration!! And of course, thank you to Ana White for this amazing site!
This project was easy & fun to make.

Added this beautiful focal wall to our living room! The plans were so easy to follow and alter to fit our space.

I saw this on the site, and I knew it would be perfect for my soon to be 4 year old boy's room. I wanted something that would be strong (hellloooo 4 year old boy!!) and not too "babyish" to last him through several years of preference changes and growth. This was not too difficult at all! Though I slightly modified some of the construction to make it easier to break down. I ended up using a box spring with a mattress, instead of slats to save a bit of money. (We got the box spring and mattress for free from a relative.)
I made this out of pine, and bought everything from Home Depot. Total cost for everything (including paint, sandpaper, wood glue, etc) was about $160! We are loving it!

Hi,
I love what you have done here. We have just finished our first build and am about to start on another for our oldest girl. Check out our blog, its the latest entry on this page.
Love it.
Thanks,
Shane
This was my first project. I didn't even know how to use a drill. With the help of my husband I learned quickly. Everything came together rather well and making the cuts was fairly simple. I used a table saw instead of a skill saw which made the bigger cuts not quite straight. I will have to invest in one of those. Two problems I ran into was not having enough clamps. I had the one that came with the kreg jig but having another would have made it simpler when attaching the legs. I had to go out and get the right angle clamp for the jig and that was a lot simpler but will still purchase another clamp for the future. The other problem I faced was the table legs were not sturdy enough so we added a support post to the back of the desk you can see in the picture. I also made the mistake of purchasing wood filler the same color as the stain. So I have darker areas. Haha. It was great learning experience. And my ten year old is very happy with his desk.

We also didn't know how to attach the top. The plans don't give instructions for that and we had to figure that out on our own. We ended up doing pocket holes which takes away from the looks of it. But you can't notice it unless you look for it.
I needed a place for everyone to throw their bags instead of the kitchen table! I used the box plans from the fancy hall tree and modified the top, adding a shelf, and changed the design to accommodate the piece of plywood I already had and wanted to use for the back. I made it in two pieces for easier transport and assembled it inside the house. I used off the shelf pine and plain plywood for this. I found the cute numbered hooks on etsy :) I took my time building it and worked on it about an hour a day while my husband watched the kids.
Plan modified to fit our back porch. Thank you so much for the plans! We love our new step.
What do you want for your birthday? 'A purple kitchen'....
That's how it all started. My husband and I had no previous woodworking experience and we managed to build these guys.
The devil was in the details here! Building these didn't really take that long, It was the finishing and accessorizing.
Thank God that I know how to sew/craft. I loved the ruffle curtain from crafting chicks so I made that. The apron and oven mitts were made from the same set of fabrics. I ordered the butterfly stick on mirrors on line....they didn't stick that well so we added double stick tape. The front of the fridge is magnetic primed. The flower magnets I made and the imagine was a primed wood precut from Michaels that I painted. Stove burners are plaques for wood burning. Stove knobs, brush, and flower hook all from Hobby Lobby. Bar faucet from ebay and the sink is just a bowl.
The lights were my husbands idea....the fridge lights are magnetic drawer lights that come on when the door is opened and off when closed - just like a real fridge! The oven light is a push button LED light.
My baby was thrilled to receive this. While I loved the PB kitchens, I really think this was much better because it gave my husband and I something to work on together and it was priceless to hear my girl tell everyone that Mommy and Daddy MADE that kitchen just for her!

Love the color scheme and will be doing similar on the one I am working on now thanks to your posts!! How did you cut the stove door?

Do you have a plan for this, or know where I can find one? I would love to make this for my toddler girls.
This was my most ambitious project yet - and I did it during my 2nd trimester of my first pregnancy! I knew I wanted a dresser that would double as a changing table & fell in love with the Madison as soon as I saw it. This is no small project - those drawers were certainly a learning experience! Wish I'd paid more attention to the 1x2s (& sprung for top pine to try to get a straighter frame). We're happy with how it's turned out & can't wait to start using it for our daughter when she arrives in May!

Do you have the plans for this? My husband loves it and we'd love to make it.
Fantastic plans.
I made some modifications to make this fit my exact needs, but the overall plans and explanation were outstanding. Changes I made are as follows:
I finished the table with a washcoat of wood conditioner, followed by General Finishes mahogany stain, and put three coats of wipe-on General Finishes Arm-R-Seal satin poly, sanding with 320-grit in between each coat.
Thanks for making these plans available for use! I'm very happy with the results
Breakfast Nooks with Pedestal Tables. Shawn Imes
My husband made these for our God son's 1st birthday gift. He loves them so much. We can't wait to make these for our daughter's nursery as well. These are so easy & beautiful to make.
My husband is deployed and I just decided to start building, to keep my mind busy. I built this table & benches, sanded, stained it & had it in my nook in just 6 days!!! I worked on it every night when the kids went to bed. Thank you Ana White!! :) I will be using this site quite a bit to keep me busy!
