a quick and easy chair to build

This project was fun and easy to do. I made two of them so my husband and I could each work, watch movies or whatever while sitting in bed. The kids also use them sometimes during the day for playing on the computer or for having a snack. These little lap desks are super sturdy and very useful. They only cost me about $5 each to make.

My son and I bulit this 8x10 frame from a pallet for a Christmas gift for my dad, who is standing in the center. 

I built this table for my wife.  I added a 1/4 round to the edge of the table.  She did all of the finish work including the top which is Unicorn Spit and epoxy.  I turned out really nice.  Thanks for the plans!

Sorry there aren't more pictures of the building of it. We ended up rushing through it because a storm was moving in. In total it took about 4 hours to build the boxes and headboard. We already had the upholstered portion of the headboard that I made from scrap a few months ago so we made the bed to fit around it. We decided to leave it without a footboard so that we could slide things underneath easier. This has made storing things underneath very easy, we even keep our laundry baskets tucked underneath and we can have easy access. By making the cubbies slightly smaller we were able to make a total of 4 cubbies on each side and we can store all of our clothes and were able to get rid of our dresser.

This dollhouse bookcase was made by my Uncle Tom for my daughter. We can't wait to get it painted and get some fun furniture for it. He said it was a pretty simple project, and was able to get the materials relatively cheaper.

This is a fun and simple project to make. It consists of 12 pieces that are all the same size. The pieces are glued together to make 3 assemblies. Getting it apart or putting it together is the challenge. As always, there is a trick.

One of the first projects from my new "workshop". I added a mirror to one end and hooks to the front and other end. My 3 year old was ecstatic about helping build it and I enjoyed every minute of it! What a fantastic way to bond and teach and grow, for both of us! Thanks for the site and the plans Ana!!!

I have made so many of these and love it. Different colors for different people. Making your own chalkboard paint is so easy also. Thanks Ana!

We recently built our version of the Salsa console to use as a buffet/sideboard in our dining room. It turned out beautifully and we couldn't be happier with it! Check out our blog for more details :)

This was my second build (easier than my first project...the Adirondack chair). Its a heavy piece and plenty sturdy as a birthday present for my one year old nephew and his sister and cousins to play on. Bought a plastic steering wheel from amazon.com. the textured paint (Anchor Gray - textured metallic by Martha Stewart was perfect for the wheels). Couldn't find the plans on ana-white but did get them from http://www.morelikehome.net/2012/10/day-26-build-little-car.html?m=1

custom set of adirindack chairs i bulit for my deck. they are angled in at 20 degrees. i came up with the plans myself after looking at an older set i had purchased that were falling apart.

After finally getting my husband on the Ana White bandwagon, He cut all the wood for me and we assembled it in one afternoon. We used plywood instead of the planks, omitted the 2x4, using just the 2x6 on top, and we also attached 1x4s to the front of the "posts" that we made with 2 2x4s to cover the seam. I took about 2 or 3 days to sand and stain it and now he wants to build more!

have not put a stain on this yet, waiting to make a pair before doing that

We were looking for a narrow side table for the little space we had at the end of the sofa. This table was perfect size, exactly what we were looking for and incredibly easy to make.
