Farmhouse table
I have a friend who had a dream to have a Thanksgiving table that would seat her whole family! She asked for Two extra benches for the ends. She loves her new table, and I loved building it for her!

I was looking for a shed to keep pool towels and other deck and pool items. This shed hit every feature I was looking
for. My husband loved the plans. He's always saying he can build anything with a measured drawing and a
cut list. The only thing we changed was the roofing material. we were given some metal roofing by a friend.

Fabulous, so glad you found our plans helpful! It looks great.
I built this 3 times, the first time, I wanted to beef it up, so I took it apart and decided that I was going to use a frame to make it more sturdy. This was for my 6'4 football playing husband, wanted a place for his sweats, jerseys, etc, so the 2nd one is the white beadboard one in the pic....Then, when I finally did move it into the house, boy I missed it in the garage. I had been using the baskets for my paint brushes, tack clothes, tarps, etc.....So, I built another one, just for me and my sundries. That's the one you see in the pic that is just the frame with baskets. My 180 6 ft tall son actually was caught sitting on top of it, and I'm proud to say, it held, no problem. I love Ana's plans, you can follow to the tee, always a good idea, or add in your own flavor. It's like adding your own spice to the soup. This is one of my favorite pieces to build, used my kreg, and the one that gets the most compliments and requests. For the top, I didn't have a 1x16 on hand, so I kregged together 2 1x8's. Absolutely beautiful.

Durability was my one concern with these plans, so I am so glad you shared these modifications! I am a very visual person, so seeing them made with the 2x4 frame has really helped me know how I want to build these. Thank you for sharing.

Both of these are awesome! They look great and STURDY! I'm inspired again :~)

very durable, glad I went with the 2x4's, both going strong.

Long shot since this was posted so long ago but I would love some more details on the supply list for this particulr version of the laundry dresser. I really like the bead board and frame but am struggling with the dimentions of all of the 2x4's for the frame. Thanks!
I built this table from the all the great info on this site. I used Purebond Plywood in Oak for the top and pine for the base. I created an opening for quick access to items I use frequently. I also used cup hooks attached underneath the tabletop for my scissors. Painted in Ultra white from Valspar with several coats of Polyacrylic. I used my Kreg Jig to build the whole thing.
Just finished this beauty, entirely made with 2x4, plans were modify to match our outdoor sofa and coffee table. I think our best looking project so far ;) Thank you for inspiring me to build !!!

I built this bunkbed for my boys bedroom based on Ana's plans with a slight modification to make it more fun for them- a climbing wall on the end instead of a ladder! I followed Ana's plans which were easy and clear to understand and the result is super sturdy and strong! We had IKEA bed slats already and they fit perfectly on the cleats to hold up the mattresses. I simplified the guard rail a bit and used a dark teal paint to finish. A 10 pack of climbing wall hand holds was purchased from Amazon (link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074CM4DBN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asi…)- I needed slightly longer bolts than what were provided to go through the 2x6s but found what I needed at a big box store. My boys (6 & 8) absolutely love it!
Completed the corner bookshelf (we opted to not use cupboard doors on the bottom) in two afternoons.

So I wanted a coffee table for my new apartment and couldn't find one I liked so I decided to build one. I wanted a zen theme for my new place so I took this plan and put a twist on it. I built it basically to plan and then carved out some Asian symbols and filled them with Woods metal. I sanded down the inlays, stained the table, distressed it, carefully cleaned up the symbols and then added a couple coats of poly. Came out pretty cool!
This was a really easy build and has brought much needed order to my little one's stuffed animal collection.
This table was modified because my dining room is really small. So the table is 71"long x 35" wide. This was actually my second attempt on the table top. The first attempt I only used kreg screws and no glue. To say that it warped is an understatement. This second attempt I used kreg screws and biscuits. For the breadboards I tried something new and used Rocklers Beadlock system. I also used Z- clips to mount it to the base so that as the wood expands and contracts it will hopefully not warp. So far it's remaining pretty flat.

Not sure why this posted as Anonymous but it's mine, ColleenW. Thanks for looking.
Just delivered these Adirondack chairs to my son and his GF as a housewarming gift for their first home. They selected the colors and they turned out perfect! I used a countersink for the front screws and filled with plugs so it looked very polished!
This is my first build and im really proud of it. We needed a new platform bed to fit our new matress! Yeah! a queen size bed! I discovered ana's blog and i got really inspired by all the projects in the blog! For the construction, i used birch for the showing parts, pine for side rails and center support and spruce for the slats. Actually, i haved cut de sides and builded the legs then i oiled evething before assembling. I used my Kreg Jig r3 to join the sides and i used a corner metal bracket to join the legs to the sides! Everything is attached from the inside, so no filler needed! I also decided to use 1x6 for the legs to get a taller bed. If you want your matress lower in the frame use 2x4 instead of 2x6 for the center support. Adjust de side rails to fit with the 2x4. Can't wait to build something new! FYI: I know my english is bad but its not my first language!Im french canadian!

Your bed looks good! It makes a nice focal piece for the room.
Your English is fun to read!
This is a play kitchen I made for my 2 year old. This was the first big wood project I have done. The instructions were easy to follow if you stay organized.

This kitchen is great! The details and colors are awesome, and you did a fab job on this build! Merry Christmas!
I used the Husky Dining room table plans to build this table. I also modified the plans to make a bench as well. This was a very east build and turned out gorgrous!! Thanks Ana!!
Built top from oak hardwood floor and adjusted table length and bench width to meet customers space needs.
6 Ana White Adirondacks replaced 6 crappy plastic Adirondacks. I changed it up a bit by attaching the arms to the front legs with the kreg jig and filled all the screw holes with putty before I added finish coat. Neat and clean looking. Thank you Ana White!

I liked Sausha's design, but I wanted a more "built in" look for the one I built. I didn't follow the plan much, but used it for ideas
This daybed was modified from the Farmhouse bed plans. I am still finishing the drawers, sanding, putty and paint.
We modified the cabin bed plans to a loft bed. This created a space for little man to have all his own area. We also made the roof on a hinge so that we could open up the roof for easy bedding changes. Also used Jen's modifications so we can take the bed apart and move it easier.
I love the Adirondack chairs and they were so easy to make. Your directions were perfect. I added an inexpensive cushion from Walmart although I think technically Adirondack chairs don’t have cushions. But they do help make them more comfortable. I also added some tin work design because we live in the south west.
