We followed the Essential Entryway Bench plan and modified it slightly to fit our home. We used a 35 degree miter cut at the corners of the trim, and finished the top with a dark walnut wood stain. The accent between the two colors is our favorite part!
Just finished these for my 3 yr old twins, and they love them! Took me about 5-6 hours of work, including painting/drying time. I definitely recommend spray painting the parts before assembling to get all edges sealed.
This was my second project and I ran into some difficulties because the wood I was working with was not perfectly straight. I was in a hurry to finish it and did not apply polyurethane, but I really wish that I had after seeing how great it is on another project.
I built this arbor using the plans you provided (http://www.ana-white.com/2014/06/plans/outdoor-bench-arbor). Finish it just in time for my wifes birthday. She absolutely loved it. Thank you!
I built this unit based on the Grandy Barn Door Console plans. I adjusted it down to 66”. The top is Dark Walnut with Satin Poly. All lumber was purchased at Menards.
My son kept telling me he didn’t need anything for his birthday, so I asked him what would make him happy!!!! He said a new dresser for my granddaughter because he wanted to burn the one they bought her!!😄
So, I had just seen your post of this new design and it is perfect!!!! My son and granddaughter LOVE it.

Found the plans for the sawhorse table on Ana and knew it would be perfect as my new sewing table. Such a lovely piece that will be very universal throughout the house!
Became a weekend project only because of the stain and painting that had to be done.
My cousin recently got married and wanted a beer wall at her wedding. I quickly searched Ana's site for the perfect plan and chose the Tall Panel Headboard for my starting point. With a few modifications it became a beer wall in no time at all. I love how Ana's plans can be easily modified to make a totally different project.
No fancy wood was used here. Just regular wood from the big box store. A jockey box was attached to the back side of the wall. It worked awesome!
Since I discovered this site in January, I've made close to 30 items from her plans. I'm ridiculously addicted and not just with Ana's site but also with her blog friends. For Valentine's Day I asked for a Air Strike gun and got it. It was better than jewelry and chocolates! I'm well on my way to collecting my own tools and learning how to save money by making it myself. Oh, and I can't even begin to tell you how impressed everyone is with my finished products.
Took the plans from Ana white and made my own twist to it! Came out awesome and the person loved it that I made it for! Kona stain on table top and Navajo white on the bottom. Did the same for benches and chairs to match! Thanks for the great instructions!
Ana thank you for these plans! My second ever woodworking project and love adirondack chairs.
Perfect for my small Brooklyn backyard :)

It's beautiful! I love the wood tone in your setting! Thanks so much for trusting us to build our plans!

You made it so clear and easy! Especially the video/
Will build another one to make it a pair soon :)
My scrap wood storage boxes were overflowing so I decided to try a queen size chevron headboard (with no plans) using teak, rangas , mahogany and other select woods I had used on other projects. I used 2 coats of clear gloss lacquer. I like the way it turned out. Richard - retired
This is my first build from this site! I used 6" boards to give the siding a plank look rather than using plywood. To make the height work, I used 8" boards for both the top and bottom planks. I also made the door a little taller. Other than that, I followed this plan step-by-step. It was very easy to follow and I really enjoyed making this bed. My daughter (and my sons) really enjoy it!
This was a lot of fun to do. Super easy and really transformed my bedroom. I love it.
I changed the dimensions to make it a little smaller to fit the front of my house. My husband and I now spend our evenings sitting there drinking tea and enjoying the nice weather.
I spent close to $60 and ordered 3 cushions from target for $8.99 each.
First time building a bed. The plans were spot on and easy to follow. Used my left over flooring to make the headboard planks.
We had been looking for a dining table for our new house that is being built. The dining area is a little small and we needed to find a 60 inch table. However, we were unable to find one that we liked at that size. I found plans for this table through pinterest and thought it would be a lot of fun to try. Plus, we knew that if worked out, then we would be saving a ton of money. The plans call for a much longer table, so my husband and dad reworked the plans to make it fit our space. To go with it we bought 4 Lyle Side Chairs from Crate and Barrel. We love how it turned out and we can't wait to see it in our new house in a couple months!!
Not as easy as everyone else said online. I had never used a kreg jig and it takes a bit more practice than I had patience for. one thing to note is the instructions screw lengths are for if you are NOT using a kreg. If you use a kreg, use the screw lengths they suggest. I used a deck stain and purchased the cushions on sale at Ikea ($22.50 per cushion)
I built this bed to replace one of the kids twin bed. I wanted a solid wooden bed that would be around for a while and I did not wanted to pay Thousands of dollars.
Great plans and a great build. I used 4x4’s for the legs and decided to go with the Farmhouse Bench instead. The color I went with is Weathered Grey. I applied it with a brush and immediately wipes it off with a clean rag, then 2 coats of poly to finish it off.
Your beautiful Fancy X farmhouse table. We wanted to seat 8. Used your plan with the top idea from Hint of Home. We used cedar tongue and groove for the top. We are so pleased with it! Now for chairs!
