I enjoyed making this outdoor sofa and table combo from Ana's Ryobi series. An inexpensive and easy project that we just love! All construction grade 2x4.
I needed an office and also a guest room so i built a she shed and all the furniture.

I love your murphy bed idea and would love to have plans for it. I too am looking for a guest bedroom and craft area and I know this would work in my space.

I didnt really have a plan when I was building my Murphy bed, I can do a sketchup plan for you if you would like. I used boat chair swivels instead of hinges and there is a YouTube video on how to do this.

Hi Chris! I would love to have a copy of the sketch up of this. I have a small she shed/guest cottage I would live to duplicate this in. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris!
I know I'm coming late to this party but I just found your shed and I adore it. You did an amazing job and I cannot express how impressed I am! I would also like a sketchup plan of both the murphy bed and the adjoining side cabinets. Great job!

I absolutely love everything about this she shed!! I would be interested in a sketch up of the murphy bed as well as the cabinets next to it. I would at least like to know what the dimensions of it all is. You did an amazing job! It's so beautiful!

Me too!! I built a horizontal Murphy bed so I have that part done but I would like to see the plans for the cabinets on either side with the pull out desk!
so very cute!
Thu, 05/14/2020 - 05:53
I would love the plans for all of this please! This is exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you!

Hi Chris
Can you advise how I can receive a copy of the sketchup? I love the entire setup from the bed to the additional shelving.
Thu, 06/20/2024 - 08:24
Hi Chris,
I would also like to receive the plans you did for this project! Thank you!

Hi Chris,
I would also like to receive the plans you did for this project! Thank you!
Built this table and bench for my wife. She wanted to host Thanksgiving dinner and needed a bigger table. I used the 96” plan, building the bench first and the table second. 3 coats of Danish oil dark walnut, and 2 coats of poly. I get a lot of compliments about this table. The bench is remarkably comfortable and sturdy. And yes, my wife was very pleased, plus I finished on time for dinner.

Thank you. The set up gratitude goes to my wife. She inspires me to complete these builds. And thank you to Ana White for these awesome build plans. I’m running out of house for all the builds so far.
The bench was easy to build with great instructions. I had Home Depot make my cuts for this first project and then I went and bought a miter saw and other power tools for future ones. So much fun.

Great work. DId you do anything different to the swing itself? How did you build the frame. I'm looking to do this exact thing for my patio. I don't have anywhere to hang the swing.
Thanks for sharing any info.

Made the chair and then built the glider frame for it just eyeballing the picture. I can't figure out how to upload a photo of my design, but can try to describe it.
I made mine with a 4x4 on the base of each leg, but a 2x4 would work as well, it was just what I had on hand. The base board on each leg I made 48". From there I put two 48" vertical boards. The vertical boards were centered and from the front edge of the first board to the back edge of the second board. Two 16" boards were then used at the top and bottom of the vertical boards to hold them in place. Cap it off with a 30" board on top of the verticals. This is where you'll attach your eye bolts. I put both eye bolts 3 1/2" back from the front (a scrap of 2x4 works well as a guide). To join the two legs, I used two 52" boards on top of the base 4X4 of the verticals (one in front of the legs and one behind).
Since moving and finding Knock Off Wood, we decided now would be a good idea to try some gardening (again...after failed attempts!) These beds are so simple but beautiful out in the yard and for the first time I actually have vegetables growing. We used the cedar fence posts just as Ana suggested.
Took the farmhouse plan and added a Trundle. Was initially going to build two farmhouse beds for my two girls, but thought adding the Trundle would free up some much needed floor space. The girls love it!
Altered the Beginner Farm Table plans to use 2x8s for the top and 4x4s for the legs. I used pocket holes for the table. I followed the bench plans almost exactly, adjusting slightly for the 2x8 tops. I am a beginner and I did it myself! The table and bench are beautiful and sturdy! Thanks Ana!
I built this case for my Grandma when my Grampa died. I wanted to be able to display the shells as well. The design is a combination of a few I saw and like different aspects of.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Are the plans available?
This was a pretty easy project, but I had to adjust the vertical legs to accommodate the sloping garage floor. I drew a horizontal line for the top edge then measured to the floor at the spacing I wanted the vertical legs. I used these measurements to cut the three vertical legs. It’s level and straight, even though my garage is sloped.
built from Ana White plans for my son and daughter in law
Everyone gets projects from Ana-White plans for Christmas this year.
I can't wait to give them away.

Hi all,
I made the wooden egg holder for our brand new kitchen. I altered the size because there's just the two of us here since our son moved out. It was a very easy beginner project and lots of fun to build by myself. If you're a beginner like me it can be overwhelming to start, but if I can do it you can do it too! Just go for it. I'm looking forward to build a next project with one of Ana's plans.

Way to go and love the color choice! Happy building.
I needed a replacement outdoor bench to fit a small space between two door openings. Reduced the length of the Modern Park Bench to about 44". Also reduced the depth by removing one of the seat planks to retain a sense of proportion.
Had some issues with some of my 2x4s being a bit twisted which impacted the overall build quality but I'm happy with the end result considering the price/time invested.
Tip: spend some time in the lumber yard picking out your own wood - I wish I had.
Thanks to you we were able to build my mom a shelf for her kitchen with a combination of two of your plans! My mom loved the top of the “Farmhouse Potting Bench” but also wanted shelves like the “Rustic X Console Table”. We combined the two and adjusted measurements to fit our wall space. We didn’t do a complete X on the side because we wanted it with one slant, but loved how it turned out over all!

Modified roof orientation and extended to 16
Our take on the 10 dollar ledges. We definitely wanted a rustic look. I love them!

Hello, these are gorgeous! What kind of stain/finish and in what color was used on these shelves? Really love it and would like to know how to make them look liek this.

Thank you for the plans! They were easy to follow and my girlfriend and I are very happy how the pergola turned out. I used the 2x6's and 2x4's due to being in Nebraska with heavy snow and high winds often to give it more durability. I can't wait to start on the sectional. Total cost was about 350 dollars...so cheap in comparison to what they sell for.
Fri, 05/11/2012 - 10:16
Beautiful, I love the color you choose too!
PS - for a second, I thought the pergola was on fire! haha! Glad it's just beautiful lights!
Sat, 05/12/2012 - 05:22
Thank you Ana, I have had multiple people say it looks like it is on fire...hilarious :) We will be adding outdoor fabric over the top for shade and gathering outdoor curtains on the posts. Will take another pic when that is complete. This site is awesome and I will continue to support you as much as I am able.
Thanks for the comment Jade!

My husband is DYING to have a pergola. I showed him the plans and he is down to build and is really excited for it! That's our next project as soon as I finish our bed (haha!). Did you paint or stain this?
Fri, 05/25/2012 - 18:54
Great job! I want to build one too! The original plans say advanced, but on this post it says beginner.....watcha think? Can I do it? (so far I've made a picture frame and framed out some trimwork). Thanks for posting....btw, I love the twinkle lights!
Wed, 06/27/2012 - 17:00
You did an awesome job! I'll be showing my husband these pics and hopefully they will inspire him to make us one too! I'd love your modifications to the plans also since we have heavy snow etc.. up here in Quebec too. Thanks for sharing!

We wanted to make a large sandbox for lots of kids. We love that it has an easy cover and two large benches to sit.
