I had searched for a nice bed frame for the longest time. I wanted something that would last and the prices in furniture stores or antique shops were crazy. I found the plans for the platform bed/headboard and modified them a little. I used 2x12's for the frame and set my 2x6's down inside for my box spring. 2x6's for the headboard and trimmed it the same way as in the plans. I love it. Thanks for the plans Ana.

I liked Kristi's version of the modern craft desk but I decided to add another cubby area. I have a lot of art things and I like for them to be organized. Here is Kristi's version: http://www.ana-white.com/2013/10/kristis-craft-desk

I really love the way it turned out and I've definitely got my use out of it.

First time project, this was a birthday present to the wife. Good project and a very good build. I only modified the length and went with 3 2x10s instead of one. Nice big table that we hope to enjoy for years. The entire table is distressed and we actually went with two stain colors. Dark Walnut on the top and an Ebony on the base.

2x6's all the way up the sides, added window and "roof"

picket fence rails and angled  ladder

I made these for a friend and just loved how they turned out. I liked the stained and black combo it turned out pretty good. I will be making some more for my son and and friend of his along with the sofa as an addition.

This is another one of those, honey I like this projects. My wife was doing her normal primitive furniture web surfing and came across this end table. It's really not to hard to build. All you need is 8ft of 1x10, 5ft of 1x12, 16ft of 1x3, and some spare 1x2 and 1x4. A few simple cuts and then you have a perfect little primitive side table.

Great plans. Fairly easy project. My husband built it and I stained it, Briarsmoke by Varathane. The most difficult part was to get the bread boards to sit flush with the perpendicular boards when attached. We had to undo and re-do that part several times. We followed the plans and built the table base before adding the bread boards at the end, but my husband decided that it would have been easier to attache one end of each board to the bread board, then attach the perpendicular boards together, then attach the other bread board.

I have done quite a bit of wood working never being great at any of them . But I truly love furniture building.

We had a big ugly frameless mirror in one of restrooms that builder had fitted as standard. Took it down and made this framed mirror instead.

Made from 4 by 1 with routed recess for mirror. Edges are 3 by 1s

Finished in Rustoleum Driftwood and two coats of Minwax Satin WIpe On Poly.

It is quite heavy so I fitted it to the wall with a French cleat made from two scraps of wood which also means it fits flush to the wall.

2x4 Truss bench with some alterations.
My first project completed with help of your plans.
Made from pine and painted using a walnut water based primer and varnish to try and match it to our existing table.

I used a combo of a couple of Ana White's sofa table plans and I changed them so that two tables would fit together at the angle of my sectional couch. I used pennies on the top and covered in epoxy resin.

I built this chair to match the outdoor sofa.  I had some extra 2 x 4's after I completed the project.  I just substituted 24 inch 2 x 4's for the 72 inch 2 x 4's that the original plans called for.  

I've been known to dumspster dive to salvage a piece of furniture and this time was no different. This beautiful oak top was discarded and headed to a landfill and I just couldn't let tht happen. I brought it home refinished it and built this wonderful desk.

This thing is AMAZING! If I was able to build as often as I do laundry, I would have a much more impressive brag list! Thank you for the plan!
