X Desk
This desk cost me ~$40 to build. I used a precut piece of oak for the top and worked the dimensions around the piece itself.
I omitted the drawer out of laziness.

Fun build 4hrs to complete.
One of of the cuts is off says long to short it's long to long.
Farmhouse Bench completed. Pine base painted black. Bench top is mahogany stain on maple.
This is going to the cottage to live at the end of the bed. Will be used as extra seating at the dinner table as required.
Used Anna’s cup tree plans for this project. Thank you Anna!
I’ve also successfully built a few of your beds. Your plans are always straightforward and easy to follow.
What you do is so appreciated!!!

I used the narrow farm house table as my starting point. I added two shelves. I used select grade Pine for this project for all except the 1x12 that was used for the shelves. I didn't want to spend 30 bucks for the select grade 1x12 for the shelves, so I used whitewood for that. I used pocket holes to join the 4 1x4s that makes up the top. I sanded the joints to try to give the appearance that it is a single boards. Can't tell unless you really look close. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Biggest problem I had with this project was my 10 year old cordless drill. Batteries would only hold a charge for 4 or 5 pocket holes, so this project took me much longer then it should have. That's okay, I used the time waiting on the drill to charge to sand, and measure. That problem has been corrected with the Black Friday sale at Lowes. My next project is a desk for my daughter, I designed it myself, but would never have attempted something like this without this great website!!!
I added just a little bit of extras to this bench. I was wanting to match some of our bedroom furniture detail to it. This was my first home furniture project and with Ana White's plan, it was very easy to do. Thank you! Looking forward to what I can make next!
We needed something to fill the space in a corner in our kitchen. I modified this plan slightly from the original in order to fit in the space. We then topped it off with Marble top to match the counters in the rest of the kitchen.
I modified this sideboard from the Anna White plan that used 2x4s and 3/4 inch plywood, by substituting select pine 1x4s for the face frame and 1/2 inch maple veneer plywood for the vertical partitions and shelves. Vertical partitions were inserted into dadoes in pine 2x4 cross pieces joining the two base 2x4s. The end pieces and doors were made with tongue and groove joints using 1/4 plywood and 1x4 or 1x2 frames. Next was addition of the face frame(1x2s)and base. The 1x4 base covered up the 2x4s, and was mitered at each corner. I used ball bearing slides to attach the drawers, made of 1/2 inch plywood. I painted the carcass with a latex paint and purchased 13/16 inch Cherry boards to join together to make the top. The drawer fronts where made from 1/2 inch plywood, with rabbitted pine edging added to match the doors. The Figure shows the finished side board with hardware installed.
We loved the barn wood frame plan, and we just happen to have a barn that is coming down soon, so this project was a no-brainer. The picture is actually a metal sign purchased half off at Hobby Lobby, and was the only expense associated with the project. All he did to the wood finish was plane and clear coat.
Loved this design as was sinple and elegant and easy to execute !! Constructed out of salvaged timber so only real cost involved the screws and paint .

What a great bed, this is super cute! Love the decorations for the headboard. Looks better than the PB Kids bed!
Fun project.
We built the chairs first using the Modern Outdoor Chair Plans found here on Ana White. We then modified the plans to make a 75" couch that fits 3-25" cushions. Both were super easy to build. We are very happy with them. We built the couch on the porch because it is very heavy when finished. Everyone loves them!
My daughter wanted a TV stand with a space for her sound bar, along with storage for toys and blankets. Hardware for barn doors were used from a video you had posted

This looks fabulous, love the finish choice. Thanks for sharing!
I made this kitchen island for my mom last year by repurposing two cabinets and building a bookcase for the back.

My granddaughter is so in love with her loft bed! She feels so special, and she is! Thanks for such wonderful plans.
We tweaked a few things, to make the brackets more personalized. We changed the measurements to suit our space, added a decorative bevel to the bottom of the brackets, and used 2x12's for the shelves. We love the warm open feel these shelves give to our farmhouse kitchen! Thanks, Ana, for providing so much help and inspiration!
Love making this simple writing desk for my daughter!

Fantasic job, thank you so much for sharing your lovely space!
My husband built this for his grandma as a Christmas present. The frame is made of white pine and then the slats are cedar.
I used wood glue and scrap 1 x 2s (yellow pine). Cutting the 1 x 2s, 9 inches long (there are 5), I sanded them and then glued them together with wood glue, leaving them clamped together overnight. The following evening, I stained the piece with a light wood stain for the rays. The next night, I used painter's tape to create my version of the sun, so that my son, who wanted to paint it, didn't feel pressure to stay in drawn pencil lines with a paint brush. My son picked out the colors and where to paint them from my Lowes oops paint collection. After the paint dried, I sanded very lightly to give it a bit of an aged feel before applying 2 coats of Polyurethane to seal it, lightly sanding between coats. A self leveling picture hanger finished it off. The finished product was not too much bigger than my IPad.
I was inspired by two other bloggers' bigger projects.

I like a bit of the sun on the wall.
This was easily made from the plans on Ana White's website. I spent about $20 total on the bed and $7 on the fabric. I had the foam from another project. I could have spent less on the wood, but I opted to buy the sanded pine boards for they are much straighter! Thanks for the plans....it saved me about $150 that I can now spend on more projects!
