Diy farmhouse table
Ayden's Hideout
This was my first build using these plans. We found it intuitive and enjoyable. I did all the building and sanding and my wife did all of the painting. Once we completed it, we moved it to our sons room and re-assemblied. When it was up, our two little ones played on and in it all night. Our 3 year old daughter would not sleep in her own bed after seeing this...so we let them spend the night together. My son loves it! What a good time we had. I think this will be the first of many Ana White builds for us.

Plans for barn wood pantry
Where can I find the plans for the barn wood pantry? I NEED to make this!!???
My Table and Bench
![](/sites/default/files/Table_0.png)
I know this is an older project on this website. However, I only recently happened upon this treasure trove of plans. As such, what better project than a new table and matching bench for the family? I made some adjustments to the bench as a result of the comments section. Essentially, I shortened the bench so it would slide between the legs of the table (65" instead of 72" as the plans call for). I also moved the stretcher supports to the inside of the table legs and shortened the stretcher (70" instead of 74" as the plans call for) to give a few more inches to push chairs in. I had every intention of staining the entire project uniformly. My wife really enjoyed the contrast between the dark and light, you see which idea I kept! The legs are a natural stain with clear coat. The tops are Minwax jacobean stain, I did two coats and a light sanding to expose some of the grain under the darkness of the stain. The cutting and assembly of the table and bench was rather quick. I would estimate 3 hours total of cutting and assembly. However, I spent a good amount of time on the sanding and staining. I would have been able to complete the finish quicker if the weather hadn't turned cold for about a week and slowed my dry times down. Finished the stains with a couple layers of polyurethane satin finish.

Pottery Barn Kids Nightstand modified

Used the plans for the Owen Nightstand and added an extra 9" to it to make the third drawer so it would be tall enough for the King size bed.

Rustic Farmhouse Dining Room Table w/ Benches
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_7610_1.jpg)
Made a vintage/rustic farmhouse dining room table with matching benches. Fairly easy DIY job. The notches were the most difficult. Quite heavy, so I suggest using less 2x2 for under-table supports. Turned out beautifully and very happy with it.

Loft bed
![](/sites/default/files/3154818026_1353861331.jpg)
It was time for my son to move to a big bed. So he got his sister's bed and she got a new loft bed. From the pictures on your website, she just loved this bed. I was able to throw it together and get it painted in a weekend and she was sleeping in it by Monday night. I added the rails because we weren't able to set it in a corner, and now that it is Xmas time we strung lights on them. We painted it white. For the mattress support I used 3/4" slats of MDF and used left over paint from her walls to paint the exposed side. Over all it was a pretty simple project, gives her more room and my daughter loves it.

Mission style table with French Typographical
Was a fun project! Took only a few days. I hand painted the typographical using the method mentioned on the graphic fairy's website. Thanks for the post!
Cherry Farmhouse Bed
This is our third bed built from Ana White plans. My husband has built the loft bed and a daybed. This is by far our favorite. When my dad cleared his farm 18 years ago, he milled all of the lumber and it has been sitting in a barn waiting for special projects. My husband cut down the large beams to make the post and my dad had some of the cherry boards milled into bead board, which we used in the headboard and footboard. I love the way it turned out and I hope my daughter cherishes it.

Nephew's Custom Bookshelf and Train Table Bed.
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_20200907_100416.jpg)
Today Tracie and I had the privilege of delivering a custom bed to my nephew south of Houston. His mom, my sister wanted to combine reading, trains, and of course sleeping. I delivered a bed with their selected color, dark walnut, hidden lights, electrical/USB outlets, a rollout train/play table, and a bed between two sets of bookshelves. Yes, it is all solidly built to be ready to hand down to the next generation. Please know I enjoyed this project while being inspired further to build more. I bragged recently that this would be the perfect bed for English teachers.

Faux Fireplace

We needed a place to hang our stockings this Christmas, and Ana's Faux Fireplace was the perfect solution. We added the chalkboard paint for a touch of whimsy.

Kentwood Bed and night stand
![](/sites/default/files/bed_8.jpg)
Overall, these plans were easy to follow. It took me a little bit longer to complete, and definitely needed someone to help attach the bed rails to the headboard and footboard. We stained prior to putting the bed together, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get the bed into the house.
For the night stand, the plans call for 4 boards across the top, but it definitely takes 5 so keep that in mind. I used pocket holes to attach the front and back of the top piece to the night stand, and then did nails to attach the sides of the top to the sides of the night stand.
Modular office sewing/craft table
We built three base units-each with different storage options and used the corner desk plans. Then created our own long desk top using a 6ft long board and using a jigsaw to create an open space for the sewing machine.

sewing machine hole
How did you go about cutting the hole for the sewing machine and what extra building did you do underneath?
1st piece of furniture build
This was my 1st attempt to build a piece of furniture. Plans were easy to use.
Farm table
![](/sites/default/files/3154818275_1354303387.jpg)
My sister and I built this for her apartment. I was not able to get a pic of it in her apartment so this great pic from my shop will have to do, just ignore the rotten fence posts and cooler and picture it on a nice dinning room. I did down size it to a 4x4 table for space since the apartment is small. One thing I did do different then the vid I watched on here was I used tongue and grove joints to join the boards and alternated board sizes. The. I made a fake second layer to give to table top a thicker look. If you have any questions please let me know the project was not hard but it did take some time waiting for glue to dry.

Swinging Bench
![](/sites/default/files/1_21.jpg)
This bench is great! I was surprised how nicely it swings. I used rope with overhand loop knots to secure onto quick link hooks. Made it for my husband for his birthday but my whole family enjoys it daily!
This is my third project from Ana's website. I absolutely love to build and can't wait to do more!

Camp Loft Bed w/ Mods
![](/sites/default/files/loft3.jpeg)
I modified the plans to accommodate a new baby to the family. Height was adjusted to match existing bed. After 4-years I just added a removable floor for stuffed animals and to help with transport and clearing dust bunnies. I added rope lights by extending under bed lighting previously installed.
