Thank you for the detailed plans and step by step pictures!

I had leftover lumber from building the full size table so I built this outdoor coffee table using the same design just a little smaller.

This was my first big project from Ana's website. It was definitely worth it.

I did not have any plans for this.  I had the dimensions from the West Elm Website so I did my best to match that.  My sister asked me if I could build this for her and I saw it as an awesome challange.  I used euro style hinges for the doors and the left side shelf is sitting on wood strips nailed in the sides.  There is also a shelf inside the cabinet.  I built the stand and she stained it.  

This was my second time welding.  I used a Mig Welder that my buddy had.  It was a little intimidating at the very beginning but Mig welding is super easy.  You can grind the welds down fairly easy too.  I sray painted it all with a flat black spray paint.  I think it turned out really well.  I had a steel shop her in town cut all the steel to the sizes I needed.  All I had to do was weld and paint.

I really appreciated your garage/mudroom project guidance. I stumbled on it as I was trying to figure out how to design my project. I basically copied yours!! 😁

You also turned me on to pocket hole joinery. Previously I have used a biscuit joiner and find it very challenging. Thank you, I am a convert!

Thank you so much for the plan. I created a console table by adjusting the dimensions (finished table is 54 x 18 x 30) and omitted drawers. Used Modge Podge to adhere raffia to table (this was the most time consuming part of the project). Finished with a clear coat of polyurethane. Based this project on a table I originally saw in the HGTV Green Home 2010 master bedroom. http://hgtv.sndimg.com/HGTV/2010/03/03/GH2010-105_03-master-bedroom-wid…

I can't take credit for the bed, just the steps. After my friend purchased a new bed for their daughter, she needed some helping getting into it. The plans for these steps were great and easy to build. Very sturdy and lightweight for kids to move around.

First ever project. Just testing my skills and all materials were low grade.  Next project will be better grade wood 

Used your plan as a start and improvised from there. Thanks

Our daughter's room has built-ins on either side of the window. I always wanted a window seat to sandwich in between, but couldn't find one with the right dimensions.....THANK YOU ANA WHITE! I used her Entryway Bench plan and just changed the length and depth to fit the window. I didn't add the side and back supports on top, but I bullnosed all the edges to make it look more finished.
I built this in one afternoon and even used cedar fence planks (left over from my husband's fence project) for the backing....love the extra charm of those planks!
We also had some molding left over, so I worked that in to the bottom for a little extra detail.
Haven't painted it yet....just enjoying it's usability until I decide on a color. It's super durable. My three year old sits on it (to read), stands on it (to spy on the neighbor's cats) and tosses those baskets in and out all day long.

I have come across several tables and chairs for doll furniture and decided I wanted to make something a little different.

I made a basic table and used 64 1 1/8 inch squares.
32/32 painted red/black and the other sides painted pink.

table is pretty popular around town so I decided to test Ebay and my website www.funwithdolls.com and I actually started selling a few.

Mostly the same. Made smaller spacing for the seat (used 1x4 for spacing) and gave it a back (18" 15% miter) hand formed the front seat board and a bit of an overhang also hand formed the tops of the seat backs and armrest idea was it would be comfy with or without cushions. Ow and it's all construction grade lumber that I water sealed. Thanks for the idea!

Super easy to build ,thanks for the instructions!!!!!!

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.

Modified Subway tile bookcase. 7' tall by 4' wide.

This project was for our 4 year old daughter.  We wanted to get her a loft bed, but I wanted to make sure the rails were really tall so she didn't fall out.  So, I took some inspirtation from loft beds on this website as well as looking at pictures of beds you can buy.  I also added the drawers within the stairs because I wanted to utilize the storage potential.  That was the most difficult part as I'm not particularly experienced in making and installing drawers.  Off to YouTube tutorials I went and it turned out quite nice.  I had to build it in three different parts to get it in her room.  It's the actual bed portion, the stairs, and the side wall.  Once I got it together, I left the screws showing that I connected it with, which I hate, but when we have to move it out of there, I didn't want to go through a ton of trouble.  I used Kreg pocket holes for all of the vertical bed slats which caused a ton of work plugging the holes, cutting off the excess, sanding, and then sanding again and again.  But, it was well worth it.  We have made her a cozy little nook underneath the bed and added a light since these pictures.  Overall, it was a fun project
