Fairly easy to build in a weekend.

What a gorgeous room! I love the crisp white of the coffee table with your rug and sectional! Beautiful build, much appreciate you sharing!
I used Ana's plan for the Clara table and the $4 stackable chairs for this project. I spent a total of $30. I used furring strips to save money. My kiddos love it! You can see more details at http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2011/08/table-and-chairs-for-the-playroom… !!
built this a few months ago, but just now getting around to posting it. I could'nt have ever even came close to building something like this without ana. So thank you.
This table was my first build. Once I learned how to use the Kreg Jig and my husband taught me how to use the table and miter saws, I have fallen in love with building furniture. Since building this table, I have built a twin bed, two farm tables, a bench, the kitchen island/rolling server table from Ana's book, and an awesome workbench with red racing wheels! This past weekend I finished my first custom order - an 8-foot Husky leg Farm table using Ana's plan. I now have orders for another balustrade coffee table and an end table using the matching legs from Osborne. THank you Ana!

Where did you get your sofa? This is what I am looking for. And I LOVE the choice of stains.

Can you tell me how you applied the 3 different stains to give such a rich color. This is so beautiful.
Utilizing Ana’s plans I was able to build this great bed with a few “ extras”. Box joint drawers..rail/stile drawer frames.. peg joinery to name a few! So much fun following these plans and achieving results that made one young man very happy! Thanks Ana!!

Wow, this is so beautiful and obviously well made! I love the staging too! Thank you so much for using our plans and sharing a photo! Ana
We've got a friend that basically supplies us with unlimited farm fresh eggs. The instant my wife saw this on ana-white she started asking me for one. Rounded over the holes with the router and rounded the corners of the sides. Took us about an hour total.
Combo of varathane special walnut and weathered oak stain on the finish.

Love it, it looks awesome! Thanks so much for sharing and great idea with the router:)
This was my second project from the site. I wanted somewhere to read my book on the back deck. This chair is perfect. When I get tired of reading I can lay it down and take a nap. It is very sturdy and easy to put together. I do recommend using pocket holes to assemble it. I found it much easier.
Followed the Rustic X console plan except did not go for the rustic stain look. I am happy with how it turned out, even though this is my first wood furniture type project. I am not much of a handyman.
I built this American girl doll house for my daughter. I wanted to give her something to keep her youth alive!

Thanks Ana! This is her momma that built it for her. I wanted to tackle something on my own and challenge myself. Your plans were amazing to work with. Thanks for taking the time to make these plans so easy to understand and follow. She is very happy with the doll house! Happy New Year! -Abbey
Thank you so much for sharing your plans!! You are so generous! This is my first attempt at building furniture!

Probably one of the most popular plans, and possibly my favorite...maybe I am biased because it was my first Ana build. Being my first Ana build, and my first carpentry project in several years it took a little longer than I hoped. Mostly nerves I think, and the fact that I am a perfectionist...what others may call picky =0) I really enjoyed building this piece, frustration at times included. It was great to be back in the shop after so many years of apartment living and no space or tools to speak of. A word of caution - once all my hard work was done it almost didn't make it out of the basement, not enough clearance. I was ready to shorten the legs but thankfully after some careful pivoting and ingenuity (my father in laws, not mine) it found its home in our bedroom...and I couldn't be happier! Having been 1 of 4 girls in a high school house carpentry program full of boys it is so inspiring to see so many women building, creating, and loving every minute! Thank you Ana for all you do!
I designed and built this sectional for some friends, and then wrote a how-to about the process! There are free plans for it, and a time-lapse video of it being built at http://www.iliketomakestuff.com/outdoor-sectional/
My husband has some cherished knick knacks and I am hoping to give our little home a little charm.
The most difficult part of this project was lining up the dowel holes for the shelf.
2-1x6's cut to the length of the window
2-1x6's cut to 6-1/4" for the sides
1-1x6 cut to 4-3/4" for the center support
Fostner (sp?) Bit at 1" for the dowels, I centered them and put them 2" down on each side and the on each side of the center support
Then I sanded, sanded and then sanded some more.. .
I used the 1/2" fostner bit and spaced the holes 3 3/4" apart on center for the rail and the top.
I cut a 1/2" dowel into 2" pcs.
The rail is a 2x2 that I trimmed down on the table saw, it finished out at 7/8"x1-1/16"
Lots of glue, more sanding and it was complete
Added 3 hillman heavy duty hangers to it and hung it over the living room window.
pine jelly cabinet
Built these two adirondack chairs from pallet wood that I had at home. Made the perfect seating area for my fire pit. Can't wait to enjoy the fall evenings in my $0 chairs!
What I really liked about this plan is its versatility. Relatively easy with pocket hole joinery and inexpensive materials, I used paint to match existing furniture and solid wood tops and drawer fronts to add just a touch of elegance.
We had to change to a slightly different size wood as the sizing of the original plan would have been very expensive in the UK.
We also had to adjust to a different mattress size (90x190cm).
We also had to work around a radiator. We left no gaps on the platform.
Huge hit and very pleased with the result.
Absolutely love this desk. We changed the shelf heights just a bit and made the center ladder more to my height needs. We burned the wood before staining.
