A modified smaller version of the dumpster dresser.

I built this bed for my 12 year old daughter. We moved to a smaller house & we needed a way to maximize the use of space in her room. She's also visually impaired, which made the ladder option more dangerous. She could get up a ladder fine, but coming down was an issue. I was thrilled to find a plan with stairs, and I added a handrail for her to help guide her down the stairs. I also put a peel & stick zebra print border around it to tie it in with her bedding & curtains. The rope lights underneath added a cool touch & helped make that dark area more functional. 

I used some leftover marble from having our countertops replaced and modified the plans to fit the marble. Love my new grill table!

I knew I needed a sandbox for my toddler, and saw the original on pinterest. I was so happy when I came here looking for designs and saw that someone had created a plan for this. I think I'm more excited about it than my little guy is.

The plan was easy to follow, and it went together quickly. Thank you very much for these plans

This was my first Ana White project. A kid size Adirondack chair fit for a princess :). The cost was around $25. I finished it in a weekend, but that was trying to fit it in between laundry, dishes, and taking care of kids. It was easy to do and I learned a lot.

Cost: $45
Made this bench smaller than the plan so it measures 48" X 18". Using it in a spare bedroom so it will eventually get stained to match the wood furniture.

I built two 3 person outdoor sofa's and a coffee table as per your plans. It is sitting nicely inside the pergola we build last fall. I built a grill table too, to match the others. Thank You.

Had to clean out my storage area to make room for my new woodworking shop, so a new shed was in order. Since my neighborhood does not allow large sheds i thought this would be the perfect fit for the small area right outside of the shop. I had to adjust the plan to make it narrow but longer. Used pressure treated fence pickets for the siding..

I saw this super simple farm house table plan on my Facebook feed from Ana and I just had to do it !!$50 in lumber a Saturday afternoon and I was done!!!! Followed all her tips and it turned out great

I built this step stool for friend, and a tiny version for my own dolls house. I had expected difficulties with the angled parts, but it went together very easily. I stained both of them with a vinegar/steel wool mix, painted with homemade chalkpaint. At last I sanded them for a distressed look and coated them with brown finishing wax.

Used a compass to make my star as I wanted the points to be a little taller. 10 pieces of 8" walnut was used. And I used a table saw sled to cut the pieces. 

Great little project. Finished just in time for Thanksgiving.

I really enjoy making this bench. I build them out of cedar and vary from 4’-6’. My customers love them. Simple prep work consisting of planing all boards to same dimensions can save a lot of time in sanding. Building 3 more this week. 

Saw this clever side table on Pinterest. It's made out of 1 1x8x8. I was able to figure out how to build a jig for the table saw to suit the project and then it was easy peasy lemon squeezy from there.

First timer here..your plans were great. Added some framing to the front of the bench. Will hide the gap with a cushion. Turns out are floors are rather sloped haha. Thanks!
