I had a customer ask if I could make a chair , they sent me a picture and I used your,and another persons chairs as my pattern, I made a few adjustments for my liking. Turned out great, thanks for always sharing and inspiring your ideas
This was our first build requiring any doors. We didn't get them perfect, the inset part was kind of challenging, but its still functional and beautiful! I will be lining the top section (the desk part) with mirror and will be using it as a vanity desk! It has created sooo much storage in our extra bedroom and I LOVE THAT! It was a pretty easy build except for adding all the doors and hardware, which turned out to be the most frustrating part. We added some leftover crown molding to the table top which makes it feel a little top heavy. I'm thinking about adding some chunky feet to it to balance it out a bit.

Cost: approximately $60
Finish: Soft Gray paint in eggshell (What was I thinking using egg shell? It should have been a semi gloss but I guess that's what happens when you're using what you've got.)
We were unable to find a table that all 5 of our kids could sit at together in our toy room, so we decided to build one. We were able to use mostly scraps of wood that we already had in our garage. I distessed the legs and table top since I knew the kids would be playing with it every day. We love the way it turned out and the kids love playing on it!

I love the colors you picked out. What did you use?
Not much to say, just a quick project to use up some scrap lumber. Better to use it than burn it.
Lot's of fun projects!

If you'd like to find out how I modified the laundry dresser to hold four baskets and how I hung the board and batten wall, check out the details on my blog. http://isteppedoutofmycomfortzone.blogspot.com/2011/02/and-did-spontane…
After I hung the boards with Liquid Nails I found out that if I ever want to take them down, the sheet rock is coming down with them! So I would probably skip that step...just incase!

Des [url=http://www.longchampbagsfr.com]Sacs Longchamp[/url] sont des sacs qui sont faites dans l’usine de masse, juste comme le genre plus mature que vous pourriez probablement découvrir dans les grands magasins, sauf qu’ils sont créés rendant l’utilisation du bien, dessins à couper le souffle. En fait, ils ont des styles, couleurs et matériaux qui sont comme des sacs de créateurs, mais sont ensuite utilisées dans l’itinéraire des sacs fabriqués en usine. De cette fa?on, vous obtenez le très plus efficace de chaque monde. Vous serez en mesure d’obtenir une belle revanche, un sac dynamique, mais payer alternativement bien moindre que vous n’aurez probablement besoin pour vous d’obtenir une marque de fabricant qui est en développement à être utilisé. Vous serez en mesure d’obtenir ces généralement en ligne, aussi que dans plusieurs magasins. Des sacs Longchamp, par exemple, sont généralement créés beauté. Ils fournissent des designs tout en utilisant favorisées régulière et les schémas, les figures de dragon animé individus, aux conceptions fourre-tout, après quoi il a offert à tous qu’ils obtiennent à travers le monde, à cause de cette réalité, ils pourraient générer suffisamment pour tout le monde. Vous ne devez posséder plus longue dans les sections et de payer pour à peu près n’importe quel élément limité, tout simplement parce que des dirigeants avides de style dans l’industrie.
Sacs à main sont vraiment un énorme business, et des ressources énergétiques et du marché de milliers de dollars. Sacs à main Longchamp pliage, en particulier, sont offerts comme objets de grande classe ce marché étoile et montrent loin de d’, portant le co?t et alléchantes chaque femme à vouloir un équivalent particulière à cela. Elle a utilisé étant de savoir comment la série vous vécu était d’acquérir une normale, sac inintéressante brun, [url=http://www.longchampbagsfr.com]Sacs Longchamp[/url] ou avoir à payer pour le meilleur co?t de posséder un concepteur de sac extrêmement. Mais heureusement, qui pourrait effectivement très probablement pas être plus longs vrai, parce que la mode des sacs sont en train de révolutionner l’industrie.
Avant, [url=http://www.longchampbagsfr.com]Sacs Longchamp[/url] sont réellement développés au sein d’une manière assez normale. Vous avez vécu des usines qui a élaboré des normes, brun ou des sacs, offerts à des milliers pour pas cher, alors vous incontestablement connu les sacs de créateurs. Les individus sont réellement développés par des designers bien rémunérés qui ont travaillé dans l’industrie de style, et montrerait loin de leur nouveaux sacs à chaque douze mois sur le tapis de couleur rouge. Là, ils obtiendraient des célébrités, acteurs et artistes en général, à mettre sur leurs nouveaux modèles, et leur montrer lointaines à partir de la route du monde. Mais quand il est arrivé le temps de les générer, ils ne font de petites quantités, tout comme le choix de maintenir le co?t varie de haut. Voilà comment ils seraient artificiellement fournir les gens de la demande et la pression ces temps qui désiraient acheter ces articles à dépenser des prix exorbitants. Mais dans les décennies précédentes, cela a commencé à changer avec Longchamp bon marché, ainsi que la révolution qui est-il passé au sein de l’industrie de style.http://www.longchampbagsfr.com
I chose to modify one of your headboards by only doing step 1-4.
We made a queen headboard and I wanted it slightly taller than the plans suggested so I added 12". I used 3/4" MDF as the back cut 60" w x 48" H, 1x4s for the sides and top and a 1x3 for the bottom. I glued and nail gunned each piece to the edge letting the sides extend down for the legs of the headboard.
I filled the nail gun holes with wood filler. The piece was primed, then painted with 2 coats of color, and then the photos were Modge Podged onto the interior of the headboard touching and overlapping. As my daughter gets older we can add more photos or I can make a fabric insert to go over the photos. She loves it and I'm happy we could do something different.

I love how you made your daughter's headboard personalized. No one else in the entire world will have a headboard like hers! :) That's amazing! And the color coordination is great. =D
We scaled this table down to fit in a Boston apartment dining room, which also serves as an entryway. We used six 2x6's instead of seven, and cut them down to 5' instead of 6'. We also went with standard Home Depot table legs in the interest of cost. This was our first-ever Ana White project and the first furniture my dad has ever built - and it was great to be part of the process (I mostly attached the screws, sanded, stained and painted while he did all the hard work. I bought the chairs for $5 each off Craigslist and intended to sand and re-finish them to match the table, but I've received lots of compliments on the red! I absolutely love this table and eat at it daily.

Great first project and what a deal on the chairs! Looks fabulous!
I wanted a new bed that was a little taller that the irobot vacuum could get under and the dog could not. Altered the modern queen sized farmhouse bed using mostly pallet wood to come up with this. Overall cost about $65 with the lights and all.
I recently built this for a fundraiser for a friend, who suffered from a stroke, people loved it.
I asked my husband to build these as birthday presents for my daughter and my niece this past spring. Very cute, collapsable when they get tired of playing with it, sturdy enough to be sat on and used by both small children, the dog and the dolls! Materials and labor were cheap (thanks hunny!) and the product will last for as long as the girls play with dolls.
I found the plans for the Printer's Triple Console on Jen Woodhouse's blog and fell in love with the design. Once I studied the entire Ana White website, I decided I could try to build this as my first project because the plans were so clear!
I changed the top to be cubbies instead of drawers to accommodate TV components and such. I just measured the openings, cut the ply board to those dimensions and used my kreg jig to make installing the cubby bases super easy.
I blogged the process (it took me a while so it is three separate posts) at becauseitalktomyself.com, look under "Optimistic Ideas"
I was DELIGHTED with how it turned out! I still can't believe I MADE THIS!!
THANK YOU ANA WHITE!

Having built a version of this myself, I really appreciate the work that went into this. I can't believe this is your first project -- really amazing!! Great finished product!
I used the trundle bed as a template to build this one for my niece as a birthday present. I used black walnut that I got as scrap from a hardwood mill and planed it down and cut it into usable material. My wife sewed the matress, quilt, and pillow for me. Im not very handy with a sewing machine!
It took me till the end of the summer but I finally finished my awesome wood cooler project! Check that one off my to-do list.
Plan to use as a cooler :) adjusted dimensions to fit a bigger planter box and added some decorative details. It came out great!
I used Ana's plans to build a Cameron Wall unit for my new nursery. I used 3/4" MDF and 1 1/4" brad nails with lots of Gorilla Wood Glue to assemble. I also used bead board on the doors. Great storage! You can read more at http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2011/07/furniture-for-the-new-nursery.html

Very nice! I really like the beadboard on the doors.
Found the headboard directions on here... Messed w dementions for footboard n connect it w a 2x12 w three lag bolts each comer. Night stand was constructed the same but on a smaller scale
I used the rustic end table plans from ana-white.com, but modified to include a drawer for additional storage.
We built the outdoor sofa from 2x4 collection, me, my dad and my kids. Didn't take too long to put together, maybe 2 and a half hours from start to finish. It's my dad's gift for Father's day and we had a great time doing it together! We used pressure treated wood and sanded at the end. Just needs to be stained and get some throw pillows.
We did use an extra 10x2x4 (cut to fit of course) to box in the cushions. Which were 24x24 inches. Great project. 👍🏻 Thanks!
