My first chair
Thank you Anna for designing such beautiful plans, and making them available for free. My husband likes the chair so much he doesn’t want it outside! I guess I’ll have to make a few more for our deck.

Wanted to make a Day bed for my daughter. Found the plans and found to be very affordable. Had a great time building it, and the reaction to my daughter when it was finished was the best

This looks great. I was just wondering how much did you end up spending on materials for this project?
I have wanted a Restoration Hardware bed for so long. Now I have "one" but for way less and we did it all ourselves. starting with Ana's platform bed plans we build on it and walk through the process and even the custom 3 part finish. for a full tutorial please see my blog. http://imperfectlyimaginable.blogspot.com/2013/11/restoration-hardware-…
would love to hear from you and see any projects that are completed.
My older daughter needed extra storage in her room and I loved this plan. It was so simple and easy to do. We ended up having to use oak plywood because they didn't have pieces in pine. We only paid a bit more but it was worth it. I used black minwax stain but only one coat because I wanted the grain to show through. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Now I just need to buy some baskets.
My first ever woodwork project! Thank you Ana white!

This is my second bed built it was build for my daughter. I enjoyed building it Great Plains I added a border around the headboard. For the paint we used chalked paint aged gray we also painted the nightstands to match the bed. Thanks to my wife for helping on the painting.

Love the finish choice, beautiful build, thank you for sharing!
Tryde Console Table. First project undertaken. Decided to make a bottom shelf. Used 4 1x4s and notched the middle two to fit around legs. Being that is was out first project, we had a few problems with keeping everything square and level but with a few minor tweeks it ended up looking really good.
We are a foster family which means we have a large family. The Mrs. wanted a large table to fit 8-10 people, so off to ana-white.com i went.
Plans were perfect! Made one long 96" bench and two 42" benches from the same plans. I changed it up a bit by adding a perpendicular plank on the ends and trimmed it with 1x2's for look and strength. 2 coats of stain and 2 coats of polyurethane. Just in time for the holidays! Thank you again for the plans, this is the third thing I have built.
I needed a larger table so we increased the size to 48 X 58. Used premium grade pine and finished with Valspar Cabinet paint for durability. I had a piece of glass cut for the top. This table is used for many types of projects. I have a large room and this table fits perfectly!!
My husband and I have enjoyed building this coffee table together. This is our 2nd Ana white build together. So glad we found this website. Thank you for creating these step by step plans, we're excited to build more beautiful furniture for our home.

Amazing! So excited to see your coffee table build!
I started with the Rustic X Hall Tree plan and modified it to 43" width to fix the space. All X's are half laps cut on the miter saw.

Thank you for sharing! If you uploaded a brag post of 2 end tables, I was working on fixing the sideways photo and accidentally deleted it. If that was yours please reupload!:) Sorry!
This is my first DIY furniture project inspired by Martha Inspired Craft Space Table posted by Ry. I built it for my combination of console table and craft space. I will be using the shelves in the middle to put my wicker baskets(that is why it was not nicely stained:-)) for quicker access of some of my craft stuff. Thanks for the plan!

The plan that you linked to was actually posted by Ry at The Design Confidential! I'm sure she would LOVE it if you would hop on over to her site and post a brag blog there!
Great Job!

Could you please post the modifications/measurements you made to this plan? I love your changes and would love to make something similar for my foyer.

Console measures 43" long X 13-1/2"depth X 33" tall. The decorative sides were made from 1/4" x 1-1/2" x 8' Stain Grade Pine Lattice I got from lowes.
I had always wanted a kitchen island and saw this project. Seeing that the plans were well written I decided to tackle it. In addition I made a few small modifications to enhance the style of the island. These included using 4x4's on the corners and a IKEA butcher block top. The top allows for a larger surface area to work with and more space to sit under. The stools in the picture are from World Market and they were the perfect pair for the island. The island is great for family gatherings or just sitting with your morning coffee. I had family over for Thanksgiving and received lots of compliments. Thank you Ana!

Marvelous job on the island! The baskets are the perfect finishing touch!

I love how this looks. This is actually next on my list of projects, thanks for the inspiration!
I had a great time builidng a shorter version of the Rustic X console table. Total length is 41inches.
I followed the plans pretty closely. I always wanted to get into woodworking and once I bought a house I finally had the space! My wife wanted a farm house table and rather than spend $500+ on one I told her I could build it. Luckily that turned out to be true!

There's so much character in this table! Love it!
This is my first outdoor furniture project, learned much from Ana's plan and my own mistakes. Used Cedar as material which total to ~$500 and ~$200 on cushions found as discontinued items from AtHome.

WOW, you did amazing, thank you so much for sharing!
I designed this off of the laundry basket holder.
Thu, 05/03/2012 - 06:38
Great option & smart. Now, after seeing your changes to the original, I am thinking of making one similar to yours but build it to hold all my craft storage bins.

I was wondering if you had the plans for the project. I would like to make one of those. So what are the project plans? ( Wood used and the cutting measurements. )
Had to resize length to 64" so it could fit in the room. Took me a little longer than 20 hours. Also distressed the wood to make it look rustic. Plans were great! Thank you!

I love your version of this sideboard! The weathered-looking finish looks great.
easy project to make
We took the farmhouse bed with drawers plan and made it into a twin bed instead of a queen for my six year old son. He wanted it to be Batman blue, and we even got his own bat signal on the headboard!
