This is a hybrid between the Hailey daybed and the Hailey platform bed. My son is in love with this bed! Used aluminum diamond plate for the headboard.

I had a therapist that uses sand therapy asked to build this. It's all made of oak.
This is my 3rd project from this site and I am very ecstatic with the result. Though I am from a family of carpenters ( father and brother are carpenters) I am an amateur at this. I followed the plan with a little modification for 24 X 72 foam padding. Additionally I added batting to the top and side of the foam pad to add extra cushion.
Thanks for the plans. Our daughter loves this bed and I am so proud of my husband for building it.
Absolutely love the finish on this table.
Inspired by Ana White's Farmhouse Counter Stools. I contoured the seat tops and added supports just below the the seat. I used dowels and glue for joinery rather than using pocket screws.
My husband and I just bought our first home and in the kitchen there was a large wall that needed a large piece of furniture. To purchase something like what we needed in a store would have been outrageous! I found a piece of furniture that I loved and that would be the perfect fit for that wall on your website. I printed it out and gave it to my dad, who is pretty crafty himself and asked if he could make it for us. He looked at it and said sure. We made a few adjustments to your design. This is how it turned out. I love it and it looks perfect in our home!! Thanks for sharing your ideas!!
For some time I've wanted to build a sturdy coffee table for our family room. I've also been experimenting with and bulidng lots of furniture for the kids rooms with low cost, paint grade, maple veneer plywood. I love the ease of working with this material and results have been great. I never thought that raw edged plywood furniture would have a place outside of the kid's bedrooms until I saw this slab of bamboo counter top at our local big box store and I got the idea for this piece. Although I still would'nt consider this "fine furniture", I think it turned out pretty cool. The design is my own, and it's the first time I've tried flaring legs in two directions which was real easy to do with a bandsaw. I have the plan drawn up in sketchup if anyone is interested.

What a cool project! Love the bamboo top! To do your table legs, did you glue the plywood pieces into a block and then cut with the band saw? Beautiful job!

Hey Thanks for the comment. Yes the legs are just 4 pcs. of 3/4" plywood glued together then cut out on the band saw.
A few things that would be helpful - power tools! Nail gun, drill and table/miter saw would all be helpful. I also would stain the pieces beforehand and touch up after. But overall, SO pleased with the final result.
Hi,
I made these planter boxes from Ana's plans. The plans made it an easy project and we also decided to paint them white.
Cheap and very effective in the garden.
Thanks Ana...
Very easy to put together... Only hard cuts were the X's. we ended up doing it like the pictures, not the plan. Stain is tricky, make sure to practice! We ended up having to resand and restain the tabletop.
My son used to have a flimsy headboard and frame that drove me crazy so I decided to build him a bed from these plans. I couldn't be happier with his bed. I used pocket holes and everything has been holding up quite nicely. Love these plans.
Check it out on iamhardware.com ! Thanks Ana for the plans!

This is great starter project for the diyer I want to personally thank you ana for this plan I'm a modest wood worker and sell my stuff for profit I will say these were a big hit in my area with selling 50+ baskets which is the most I've built of one thing in all my 7 years of woodworking these are the cutest little baskets thanks again
I got this bright idea that we should change the basement into a master suite. However, we could not get a box spring down the stairs. This gave me the perfect opportunity to take on the biggest project of my woodworking life. I absolutely love how this bed frame turned out and it looks so great lined up here next to the fireplace!

Awww, thanks!!! I do absolutely love this site!! You guys rock!!
My wife came to me a couple of months ago and asked me to build a corner cabinet for our family room. She had found inspiration through a picture on pinterest that she "had to have." I found a couple of old doors through a resale shop near our house and this is what I was able to make with them.
This was a little tougher than I thought it would have been. I have done crown molding before, however, I have never done a floating crown (no support on the top). I was able to use my nail gun and get a solid fit on the bottom of the crown and then glued a support strip behind the crown.
The shelves are made out of 3/4" ply with a birch veneer facing. Surprisingly easy to use with just a little measuring and a hot iron set to the cotton setting.
Again, another project that would have been made infinitely harder without my kreg jig.
Let me know what you guys think!

Modified the plan in order to use 12 inch drawer slides and to fit the 1X24x48 project panel found at Lowes. The 2 inch swivel casters and drawer hardware were found at Home Depot.
Simple to build, took longer to paint it than it did to build it!
My daughter and son in law needed a small table for the babies room and this ended up being the perfect solution!! Absolutely love it!!

Needed a small table for the grand baby’s room.. this was the perfect solution
Built this table using the Ana White plans everything worked great.
I ran across your website and decided to build my first ever extra long king size bed. I followed the plans of the farmhouse king size bed. Instead of using the square 4x4 post I used porch post and cut them down to size plus I stretched the bed to 88 inches long. My wife is super happy I did because we saved a bunch of money doing so and got a more durable bed.
