These plans where so easy for my hubby to follow and put together. My son's room is small and even though it's a big bulky bed he has all that floor space to play now!!

This farmhouse bed is a combination of Ana White's Farmhouse Bed/Modern Farmhouse Bed plans as well as some slight modifications. I modified the bed using materials already on hand and leftover from past jobs. The 4x4 posts are 2 - 2×4s glued and filled together. The headboard was made using 2x2's and tongue and groove boards. The side rails, foot board and matress supports are 2x10's since this was old material from a job site my husband was on. I opted for no footboard to make the bed feel less bulky. The finish was done using chalk paint in a light gray, giving it a more modern look.

This is so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing photos!
Living in a small house, 1100 sq feet, really needed an area devoted to DVD storage, then I thought, why not build my own Entertainment center? This is 1 of 6 pieces.
This is my first serious project that I dedicated to my wife so she can arrange her many books and personal things. I used the undercover jig from wolfcraft (same as kreg jig).
I wanted to replace the awful cart we keep our coffee maker and toaster oven on, and have always wanted to see a butcher-block top in our kitchen. We are renters, so doing anything like countertop remodeling is out of the question. I decided to build this little console and present it to my husband, the coffee-drinker of our house, for Valentines Day. The actual construction of the console was very easy, it was the sanding, plugging of pocket-holes, and staining that took a week! My husband loves it, though, and immediately rid of the old cart and set up his coffee-maker on the new one. We are both very proud of it.
This amazing trestle table seats 8 people with the “not pictured” matching bench. The table legs are jointed with mortise and tenon and the ends of the table top are lose slot jointed to the 4”x4”s to prevent unwanted warping if there is any. The table top is secured to the apron frame by table top fasteners to allow for wood movement and easy disassemble for transport. All wood planed to required thickness and sanded to 220 grit. Then finished off with an 80/20 mixture of “carbon grey stain and Ebony stain”. 3 coats of oil based satin polyurethane to top it off.
I made a pair of Adirondack chairs for my nephew and his fiancé. I use the old Home Depot plans (not sure if they're still online). I used treated 2x4's and cedar 1x4's.

I'm sure they love them, well done! Thanks for sharing.
These shelves are great because you can make them any size you want! As you can see, these were made to hold my daughter's monster high collection, took advantage of dead space between the wall and the window. I put these together with my Kreg Jig so they're very sturdy. I couldn't buy shelves as nice as these, TWO OF THEM! for under 10 dollars. If you're thinking of building these, stop thinking, start doing, they're well worth your time and effort.
I have been wanting a good size toy box for my son and after finding this project here, I decided to build one for him for Christmas. Eli is going to be so excited!
This is a pocket hole version.

Thanks...I couldn't place the brand.
By the way...Eli will probably love the toybox. I made one last year for my daughter, and stuck her name on it using wood cutout letters. I added a lid, so I don't have to look at her ever growing collection of stuffies...
I made mine with a "MasterCraft" saw, a budget brand similar to Craftsman in terms of price and quality...

My wife wanted a farmhouse, rustic, restoration hardware type table but I wasn't about to spend the crazy money on one. So I told her let me see if I can build one she would like and she loves it.
My hubby and I never really wanted a king size bed until we had grand babies and the bed just wasn’t big enough. I found the Ana White Fancy Farmhouse bed plans, ask if he thought he could make it....he did not disappoint!!! I love our new bed and it’s ready for Honey and Pepe’s first sleepover.
Hi Ana, after building your essential chairs I decided to build my grandson a small one I burned it with a torch and then clear coated it and it turned out so sweet. I also built a picnic table and added a different crossmember to it for strength. I also built a glider swing that I used from an old pattern from many years ago. Still without going to your site and watching you build on YouTube I would not have attempted any of this. I love all of the things that you build and you have inspired me so much. Thank you for all you do and keep those wonderful plans coming! My next project is going to be that little workshop that you build in panels and put together that you made for your friend. I'm going to make one and turn it into a lawn mower shed.

I took a jump on the wild side with that orange but it was so fun and I think my girls will be giddy with excitement when they see it.
We started out practicing on end tables. Take your time carefully picking out your lumber. We ended up with a slightly warped 2x10. There is no give in a big board like that so it put us behind. The picture shows it stained with minwax "Provincial" and one coat of minwax satin. More coats for the top are in progress.
First furniture project. It was a little intimidating - but once you get the cabinet squared everything else is just about precision cuts and patience to get the finish you want. Inset drawers are tough because they really show any mistakes.
Completed over 3 weekends.
My wife loves it! Our plan is to use this as the base of the built-in, and surround the TV with shelving up to the ceiling. Applying the concepts to this build will allow me to custom build the top unit, probably at some point next year.
Cheers!
Made this for a friend. Easy Project. Use scrap wood as spacers at the bottom when attaching the legs.
I loved your farmhouse bed , so decided to make my own , but with wood wat is available here(Philippines) the post and the frame is made of Mango wood , the tree fell down during the typhoon, so I made boards and beams out of it , for the headboard and also the footboard used Moldave/Mahogany/Ipalipal/and a few kinds I don't know the name
These were all Christmas projects...My daughter needed a blanket chest, so I used Anna's Toy Chest plans - modifying them to add a lid (which also functions as an extra seat). I made the dimensions larger because she had some really large blankets to store and also added some fancier trimming. Her husband wanted DVD storage in their room, so I built the cabinet and painted it to match the blanket chest. I do most of my building in the evenings, so it took a couple of days to build these - the finishing took the most time over several evenings. Also shown is the mail organizer, with an airplane motif because of my grandson's love of airplanes.

love the lid! would you be willing to share your plans for the lid addition?

This looks amazing! I'm wanting to do something similar... a 28"x41" toy box that could double a a lounge seat. Would you be willing to share your plans for the lid addition? I really love the lip on the lid to keep the cushion in place!

Sorry, I hadn't noticed there was a new comment. I am one of those who just look at something or see a need and form plans in my head (I'm not good at writing them); so I don't have any plans. I just cut the lid so that it would overhang an inch on the ends and front. Then I cut a 1x2 the length of the lid and attached it on top of the lid at the back (the 3/4 side against the wood). The 1x2's for the end of the lid were cut to fit; the fronts rounded with a jig saw; then attached. I hope this helps.
Great, simple bookshelf for our nursery
My husband and I had a lot of fun building this bed for our 3 yr. Old son. We are very proud of how it turned out. There were a few changes we made on our own as far as bracing was concerned, so our measurements changes just a little. The plans were easy to follow. I'm already searching Ana's site for our next project.
