I made it! Yes, my first project is complete. I made a small piece to place in my soon to be repainted half bath. It was not perfect, but for a first time project and stain job, I am proud of my work.

They’re not sanded or stained yet but I love how they turned out!

These are simple, cheap, easy, and effective.
I modified the top so that I could just use the left over 2X6s I had and it would somewhat match my table. I felt it worked. There is probably something like $5 in wood in each chair about about 20 screws...that's it.
Word of warning, because you are using 2X2s these chairs will twist a little. Can't change physics but for $5 what do you want...
This is a fun little project that is quite easy but will make you think about how you can modify it and how/where you should use all your screws both to make it strong as well as to hide them.
Was my first project from Ana White's designs. I enjoyed making it, and plan on following up with the outdoor loveseat this spring.
Very easy plan to follow
A fun project I did for a homeowner in Rosemount Minnesota. I had 100 hours in it at the end but they were very happy with the end result!
I added a cushion to the bench top and absolutely love how it turned out! Thank you for making your plans available and so easy to follow!
I built the Farmhouse Doll Bed for a friend with a photography studio who was looking for some newborn props. I used glue and nails for the headboard/footboard construction, and screws with 3/4" plywood for the bed portion so it would be very sturdy. I made the mattresses out of some spare 2" foam cut to size, and made a slipcover out of a pillowcase so it's washable.
I loved working on this project! This was my first real building project! My friend Jody and I had a blast working on it together. It can seat up to 8 people which I love when my family and friends come to visit.
I changed the 1x12 for 1x6 to better fit the space. I also made it several inches taller. It was a very easy and quick project. Actually, the rustic look stain took longer than the actual build. Thank you Ana for another awesome design.
Cabin in the woods!! We added Phillips Hue lighting so we can control all the lights from our phone.
This is my first project. I wanted to make something for my three neices for Easter. I thought this looked like a good starter project. I used spray paint, but I wish I would've used regular paint, as they got kind of drippy and I had to sand the drips off. I think they would've also been cheaper if I would've used regular paint instead of the spray paint. We also do not have a fabric store in the area, so I had to order it on-line and paid shipping. But I did love the fabric that I found.
I'm pretty happy how they turned out. Now I want to try something else!
This Printers Console functions as our entertainment center! I omitted the center drawer in favor of a shelf to hold the Wii console and DVD player. I added three DVD storage racks behind the cupboard doors. More details available here: http://redhenhome.blogspot.com/2014/01/triple-printers-console-cabinet…

Love the finish that you used on this. I've been wanting to give chalk paint a try. May have to do that on my next project.

Gorgeous! This project is on my to-do list but I've got a couple other things that must be done first. And I can't do anything until our weather warms up into positive numbers since my workshop isn't heated or insulated. I hope mine turns out looking as good as yours does.
I used the Camp loft bed with stair plan. I raised the height by 4 inches to accommodate taller items being pushed under it. I also added the "railing" due to not being pushed up against the wall on the stair side.
This was my first furniture build, and I'm very much an amateur at woodworking. That being said, this was very easy to build and we're thrilled with the result. The only things I changed were making the bed 6 inches taller so we could store more under it and using 4x4s for the center leg supports. Also, I used joist hangers to hang the center supports instead of screwing through the footboard and headboard support.
I can't wait to build the matching nightstands!
I needed to clear out a shelf in my cabinet and add a spice rack so I could actually see everything. This came out perfect! Made of Oak and stained with classic oak. Very simple to build and hung with pocket screws

This is a modified Farmhouse queen bed. This was the first thing I have ever made from wood by myself for my wife and I.
Channing Desk built with select pine boards and maple plywood top/sides. Fairly easy project. The sanding/painting/staining took much longer than the actual building. We used 2 coats of Special Walnut followed by 2 coats of Weathered Oak. Then to finish, 3 layers of polyurethane. Very pleased with the plan and finished desk. Thanks Ana!

It turned out great.
I agree. The finish work is what takes the most time.
This was an easy project. It took longer to paint and stain than the construction.
Thanks for the plans, this web site is awesome.
Used the plans for the Arts & Crafts Play Table, but ditched the angled legs (the squared off legs have no stability issues at all), and used a regular piece of 1/4" fiberboard instead of acrylic for the lid. On the lid I glued a 15x15 LEGO baseplate, and compartments underneath are for LEGO storage. The local REStore had an 8ft length of 3" laminated MDF trim for $2, which worked perfectly as the trim for the top of the table with no sanding or painting required.
I know the paint in the photo looks super-streaky, but I used some leftover Rust-Oleum cobalt blue metallic floor paint, so it's shimmery and glossy. Unfortunately the visual effect photographs poorly.

Totally clever integrating the lego baseplate! Thanks for sharing:)
