A variation on your barn style greenhouse. I included a cooling fan with intake louvers, temperature controlled heater and grow lights. Also used anchor bolts embedded in concrete footer.

Thank you for these really easy, step by step instructions. This was my first ever wood project and did it with borrowed mitre saw and few other tools I had at home. I'm now hooked and already planning my next project, twin beds for my kids.
I previously had rocking chairs on my porch, but was looking for something much more comfortable that I could enjoy sitting on the porch and watching the squirrels play in the yard. Created this from your sofa plan.

This was my wife and I's first Ana White project. We are now hooked, and loved spending time together building something we will enjoy for years, and our dog mindy of course was the first to test our beautiful bench out!
Thanks Ana,

Love this table! Created from Ana Whites Balustrade Coffee Table plans. Looks just like the table from RH.
This was a fun project to build! It took about 1.5 hours to build start to finish, with another couple of hours to stain and then seal.
I built this for use as an outdoor patio table suitable for an umbrella by eliminating the center truss below the table. Instead, I used my Kreg Jig to join the two sets of legs with 2 2x4s each set about 6 inches off center directly under table top. (See picture). I used Douglas Fir for most of this build. I also added a 1x2 cap to the bread board ends of the table top to help stabilize it against warping. I secured the table top to the frame with countersunk screws under glued wood plugs since I needed to allow a gap between boards for water drainage. I used the Varathane wood weathering product to soften the “new wood” look. I helped preserve the wood with a coat of Benjamin Moore’s clear Arborcoat. This acrylic product will allow the wood to continue to gray naturally. I recommend this as an intermediate project due to the awkwardness of joining the 45 degree angle cuts. Having a second set of hands here would have been very helpful.
This project was so fun to make. When we have a bigger room, we will put a slide on the other end. My son loves his bed!!

Did you use larger boards for the posts in your build? I noticed the connecting boards seem to be centered. Looks fantastic and would love if you could share your modifications!
After learning I'll be working from home permanently, I asked my husband to use his talent to make me a desk. I have been sitting on a barstool since March and it just wasn't comfortable.
Viola. An Ana White farm house desk. It turned out wonderful and I'm so much more comfortable. He just needs to add the shelves when there is room in the garage again (he's now fixing our son's car with his brother!)
After a floating shelf fail, I threw this one together with scraps. Time investment below includes waiting for paint to dry and hanging it up.
We wanted to make our daughter a play kitchen for her birthday. We have a farmhouse sink so we wanted her to have one just like ours. My husband built it out of wood. We wanted the cabinets to look like Shaker cabinets so we added trim to them & the Fridge. We bought the handles from Home Depot. If you have any questions I will be happy to answer them.
Tilt Out Recycling Center to match the floating desk and barn door in the same room. Great project from the recycling center plans. (slight modification)
I modified this plan just a little on the ends, and I can not tell you how pleased I am with it! I did run into some issues with lining the boards up properly due to imperfections (and not laying the boards out ahead of time in the store because I was rushing at closing time), but in the end, I decided to add a wood filler in between the boards and everyone just raves over it. I could not imagine it having come out better. I would not do it any other way.
Thank you Ana!!
PS... I have a wonderful idea for a loft bed, but the plans are not provided. I know you would do it justice.. how do I submit the photo????

Jeff,
I do apologize for not having seen your comment! I will work on plans as soon as possible and let you know when they are available. Thank you! :)

I also liked this table but never found the plans for it. I did find a very similar table with plans at:
https://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2012/06/fancy-x-farmhouse-table.html
Looks like just the bottom of the legs are different...
I saw many different sliding door projects online, so I did my own spin on one. I was able to get several old pallets for free (pine and oak). I went to Lowes and bought a few 2x3s which I used as the frame, and the track hardware which was only $13! Most doors I see are mounted from the wall, but since I have 7' ceilings downstairs I mounted mine from the ceiling. This project only took about 4 hours total and cost about $40 when you figure in costs for screws, stain, etc. The most difficult part was taking apart the pallets. Using a reciprocating saw with a 12'' demolition blade is the best way to take them apart. Thanks for the idea Ana.

Hi!!
This looks so awesome! I came across this and was hoping to repeat it. You mention that you found the door hanging hardware at Lowes for $13. I can't seem to find it. Do you happen to remember the name of it? I'm entering "hanging door hardware" into Lowes and Home Depot and can't seem to find any hanging door hardware at all. I'd appreciate the help. Thanks!

First project from dad tearing down his barn. Used ana's plans for queen bed and added to fit king dimensions. Husband also requested a tall bed so I added 6 inches to her measurements.
I combined Mimi's Hall Tree with the Alexia Bench for this project. It really turned out great. My son and his wife love it. It also made me feel pretty good that I built something for them that hopefully will be passed down to future generations.
Second build for oldest son's room.

Where can i find the drawings for this bed? [email protected] thank you
I made my shelves 16 ft by 6ft by 2ft - added another plank to each shelf to increase the width. I compensated for the slope along the garage wall by offsetting all the screw-in points in the front legs half an inch. This thing is HEAVY.
I anchored the unit to the wall by securing 2 scrap 2x4s to the studs - 1 at the 2nd set of legs and 1 at the far right legs - and screwing the unit legs into the 2x4s. This way, I didn't have to line the unit up precisely with the studs.
