Built this as a platform bed for guest bedroom. Nice, sturdy bed.

I Love this Bed. Would love king size dimensions. This is exactly what I have been looking for.
my very first project! i surprised myself on how AWESOME this desk came out! although im not a huge fan of the finish i selected but i can live with it. i also used oak plywood (which i will never used again), poplar and i also used cedar planking for the backing and drawer base. i learned a lot from this project, mostly what not to do for the future, like use plywood.
Love all of the projects on this website. I am just getting in to woodworking but am loving learning all of things that I can do with these wonderful plans. I used all 1x2s for my fruit and veggie crates since they didn't have what I was looking for here at my lowes. Kind of limited on lumber around these parts unless I drive an hour away. A good sanding and these crates came out great. Smooth and stylish!
Nice update for our place. Pretty simple based on the plans.
Made to the basic design for the outside patio chair. With a few modifications due to utilizing all the scrap wood from the greenhouse.

This was an older hutch, oak in color. I took off the top glass doors off, put wood putty where the hinges were. I lightly sanded the hutch and cleaned it with TSP. Finally I primed and then painted black first. I used a candle to put wax on the area's I wanted to look distressed. After the black dried, I lightly sanded again, before I sprayed the red paint on. I lightly sanded the hutch once more, concentrating on the black to show through. Finally I glazed the hole hutch in a black. Black baskets were added to add to the appeal.

Which paint color and brand did you use for black paint and red paint? Thanks!
Wanted to build a cabinet for the entrance and liked the look of the Rustic X console but wanted drawers and doors too. Second piece from mainly own design just incorporating those Rustic X ends.
The piece is 6ft long for the main cabinet part.
Found the hinges off the internet and just trying to find some matching drawer pulls now. (Any suggestions greatly welcomed).

I love it! What great mods, and it turned out looking like a classic!
I have this site bookmarked for rustic hardware but haven't used them yet. They sell those same hinges and some pretty drawer pull options.

Thanks for the comment. Nice to hear you like my work :-)
This is a modified version of the Rustic X coffee table I added six inches to the length And I used 4 different color stains to get the aged looked All done with construction grade lumber.
My son has been falling/climbing out of his crib. My wife wanted a toddler bed as soon as possible, which meant yesterday. She has had this in mind for some time considering she made this marvelous quilt for our little dude. The bed is pretty crude from a joinery standpoint. It's just butt joints with glue and screws. The dimensional lumber gives a nice break on the pocket book, especially when it's free from helping someone move it into my truck. The joints get some spice by button plugs. It's not finished with anything special, just some 120 grit. I figure we will probably paint it to match his new room in the house we are moving into next week. I wish I could have made it out of pocket holes entirely but the box o' screws wasn't in the budget when the wood is free and the 2-1/2" screws are given to you. Bottom line is that my wife is happy with her hubby the the little stud muffin is happy with his "big boy" bed.
Modern farmhouse bench used as entryway bench/storage
Our two teen boys (13 and 14) took this on for a summer project. Their dad supervised the sawing, but it was a great first project for them. The plans were FANTASTIC! Everything went together perfectly, and we are super pleased with how it turned out! It is a large bench that the entire family can sit on at one time. Our dog is 60 pounds and she has a lot of room on it!
I modified the kids couch plans to make a sectional sofa for my apartment! We removed all but one of the arm rests. So when pillows are removed it doubles as a twin bed for our friends!
This is a farmhouse style kitchen table that I built for Mom's little kitchen. She needed more counter space and more storage space and had the perfect corner for it to fit in. These are based off my own plans which I have not published on Ana-White yet.
I needed more storage for our TINY kitchen. I found the nursery armoire plans and asked my dad to help me build it for a pantry! We modified it some by making it taller and adding more shelves inside (sorry no pics of that). For the doors I wanted to do something fun so we cut lots (over 700!) of small pieces of wood and inlaid then in a herringbone pattern - IN LOVE! For the handles we used copper pipe and I am IN LOVE with those too! Enjoy!

You did a marvelous job on this, that herringbone inlay is amazing!
I made this for my daughter as a Christmas gift. She was thrilled and still plays with it every day. The tutorials are detailed and easy to follow. I used material left over from some of my other projects. There was a learning curve for the sewing portion so it took me longer to learn how to use the sewing machine. I am a better carpenter than a tailor :)
Thanks Ana...I will try more of your projects.
Used quarter and half inch ply. Used closet rod for main beam. Cutout for carry handle. Used Velcro to hold closed. First time. Only used jigsaw and drill
Added this easy to do built in fireplace to a plain, ugly wall. Now it’s just….WOW! Thanks Ana for the idea and inspiration. DIYers 🤘

we bought our first home two months ago and have been doing a lot of small improvement projects. we decided to build your sturdy work bench in order to have a dedicated space for cobbling new projects together.
I adapted this from the Gaby Kitchen Island . I loved the design but my kitchen is way too small for an island. I was in need of a table for the microwave so this was the first design I turned to.
