Recently built this table my first build actually. I told my wife we needed a new table because we didn't have enough room for our youngest to move up to the table she said let's build one. Well I did the "building" and she did the staining painting and sanding. She is currently putting new fabric on our old chairs. And now she has me building a bed. Her words when I finished "I didn't know you could build stuff". My reply "that was part of the plan lol". Thanks for all the designs.
I started out several years ago building the Modern Adirondack Chairs using Ana White's plans. Customers loved the modern design and I was able to fulfill orders in any color or stain. Customers even asked if I could make a children's and adult size chair. These pans are available upon request.
As the trend towards outdoor living increased due to the pandemic, I expanded my product line to tables, benches and patio planters. I even created my own design for a fire pit rack and bench based upon Ana's designs.
Today, I have a thriving business for commercial and residential fire pit furniture and accessories.
I continue to follow Ana White for inspiration and ideas, George
We started this project when Young House Love agreed that I should paint the old, dated brick wall. Then we bought new couches. Then we needed a TV stand, and a coffee table to match.
This started out a project for me. I was in love with those 16 little drawers. My husband .. not so much. I saw a way to secure all my stuff from my soon to be crawling little one. Hubs saw 16 little blocks. So, after it was all done, we tore off the drawer faces, and started over.
I decided to not to do the doors. I was too worried about baby smashing her fingers, or me tripping over them and breaking the hinges, so we went with bins. They have a metal frame for durability, but are wrapped in a durable canvas to make them safe for baby. They’re a perfect fit for the center, and the feet side effortlessly across the paint. (There’s no polyurethane on mine yet!)
Extra Info:
The smaller baskets are from Target. ($12 for both)
The large baskets are from the Container Store. ($20 each)
Lumber was from Lowes of Streetboro, OH. (About $80)
This was my first building project from scratch! I have modified some thrift store finds, but this was the first from lumber. I learned to countersink! I was amazed at how easy this was, and I'm so excited that this bench will sit by our front door for my three boys to perch on when they put on or take off their shoes. I went with 3 cubbies to hold three pairs of shoes. It also works great for a couple of kids to sit on at the table for when we have guests and need some spare seating.
I am a beginer and I am following my dream of having my own tools and workshed. As a result of finding your site Ana I believed I could achieve it and now I have.
Thanks so much for your great plans and inspiration. This bookshelf is my third project from your site.
I will post the two other projects pictures when they are finished, they need paint touchup.
I followed the plans as written and my veggie bin came out looking awesome.
I love the versatility of this furniture. I wanted the ability to move it around in different seating sets. It was my first project with no help from my husband. So very easy to do and follow. I made a few tweaks and made wood plugs for all the screw holes. I plan to stain it later. I used ikea cushions.

YES, love the different options to use and move around as needed! Way to go, thanks for sharing!
When Ana posted plans for this I immediately fell in love with it. I had a friend visiting, and I thought this would be a great project for us to do together.
A lot of time spent on this project was taking apart pallets, not an easy job. My poor friend did that part, she is great! I think the old pallets really made this look as good as it does, they were already so rustic.
The pallets were free and collecting free pallets was an adventure of it's own. I found a large piece of particle board in the depot's scrap bin for 51 cents! Can't beat that.
Modern Adirondack Chairs
I made this for my wife. I used 2x3 glue and screw together for the table top. I have a conception that a heavy table top create a sturdy table. I used redwood 2x3 with lag screw. The sitting bench is completely made out of 2x3.
Thanks for the plans Ana. I substituted 5/4 x 6 for the 2x6 and it is plenty strong and sturdy. Also added an angled back to support 24x24" cushion. Very pleased with the finished chairs.
BTW: I have now used 4 of your plans. The X harvest table, an outside dining table and patio loungers (4 of them) and the box chairs. Cheers!
The storage bench/ coffee table, customized for a small room to hold my son's lap top, and game controllers.
I cut it down from 48" to 36" and it worked great!
I built these bunk beds for my almost-10 year old twins this spring! These were modified from the Side Street Bunk Bed plans to accommodate the longer Twin XL mattresses. I took inspiration from the Maine Cottage bunk bed collection for the end panels of the beds, and added furniture feet as finials on each post. It was a fun build, but pretty time intensive as I built both sets at the same time. This was my first major build.
This is a sample of what I have done using Ana's plans. Thanks Ana!!! I will be posting my entire kitchen Reno in the near future.
I built this amazing green house following your plans! My wife and I moved our family from the city to an amazing 5 acre homestead out in the country here in Wisconsin. We are super happy that we will be able to keep our new garden going longer! Thanks so much for the plans!

Cute, nice job. I'm going to build one in Tennessee.
I used one by material because I wanted a piece that was less bulky. I also made side tables from the same plan.8 love these, they are exactly what I have been looking for!

Excellent builds, love the color choice! Thank you for sharing ~
We went a little crazy bringing pallets home once I got the idea that we could build something so cool and functional out of only a small amount of new lumber! We've had these about 6 months now and they still look great and serve our family in a very real and functional way! My boys have been WONDERFUL about keeping all their shoes in their crates!
This was my first build and I loved making it! I wasn't able to make the 60 degree cuts needed for the x's but I hope to be able to add them in the future!
I built this outhouse to go with a dry cabin I'm working on, and also as an emergency backup for my house. I used treated lumber on the base/deck and splurged on T-111 for the siding. I wanted to use greenhouse polycarbonate for the roof, but found a piece of metal roofing in my shed that was exactly the right size so I used that instead. I thought about doing a fancy cutout on the door but ended up going with a half moon because it was easy. I'm thinking about cutting out stars of different sizes all over the rest of the door to let in more light. I'll trim and stain it next summer.
