My first ever woodwork project! Thank you Ana white!
This is my second bed built it was build for my daughter. I enjoyed building it Great Plains I added a border around the headboard. For the paint we used chalked paint aged gray we also painted the nightstands to match the bed. Thanks to my wife for helping on the painting.

Love the finish choice, beautiful build, thank you for sharing!
Tryde Console Table. First project undertaken. Decided to make a bottom shelf. Used 4 1x4s and notched the middle two to fit around legs. Being that is was out first project, we had a few problems with keeping everything square and level but with a few minor tweeks it ended up looking really good.
We are a foster family which means we have a large family. The Mrs. wanted a large table to fit 8-10 people, so off to ana-white.com i went.
Plans were perfect! Made one long 96" bench and two 42" benches from the same plans. I changed it up a bit by adding a perpendicular plank on the ends and trimmed it with 1x2's for look and strength. 2 coats of stain and 2 coats of polyurethane. Just in time for the holidays! Thank you again for the plans, this is the third thing I have built.
I needed a larger table so we increased the size to 48 X 58. Used premium grade pine and finished with Valspar Cabinet paint for durability. I had a piece of glass cut for the top. This table is used for many types of projects. I have a large room and this table fits perfectly!!
My husband and I have enjoyed building this coffee table together. This is our 2nd Ana white build together. So glad we found this website. Thank you for creating these step by step plans, we're excited to build more beautiful furniture for our home.

Amazing! So excited to see your coffee table build!
I started with the Rustic X Hall Tree plan and modified it to 43" width to fix the space. All X's are half laps cut on the miter saw.

Thank you for sharing! If you uploaded a brag post of 2 end tables, I was working on fixing the sideways photo and accidentally deleted it. If that was yours please reupload!:) Sorry!
This is my first DIY furniture project inspired by Martha Inspired Craft Space Table posted by Ry. I built it for my combination of console table and craft space. I will be using the shelves in the middle to put my wicker baskets(that is why it was not nicely stained:-)) for quicker access of some of my craft stuff. Thanks for the plan!

The plan that you linked to was actually posted by Ry at The Design Confidential! I'm sure she would LOVE it if you would hop on over to her site and post a brag blog there!
Great Job!

Could you please post the modifications/measurements you made to this plan? I love your changes and would love to make something similar for my foyer.

Console measures 43" long X 13-1/2"depth X 33" tall. The decorative sides were made from 1/4" x 1-1/2" x 8' Stain Grade Pine Lattice I got from lowes.
I had a great time builidng a shorter version of the Rustic X console table. Total length is 41inches.
This is my first outdoor furniture project, learned much from Ana's plan and my own mistakes. Used Cedar as material which total to ~$500 and ~$200 on cushions found as discontinued items from AtHome.

WOW, you did amazing, thank you so much for sharing!
Had to resize length to 64" so it could fit in the room. Took me a little longer than 20 hours. Also distressed the wood to make it look rustic. Plans were great! Thank you!

I love your version of this sideboard! The weathered-looking finish looks great.
easy project to make
We took the farmhouse bed with drawers plan and made it into a twin bed instead of a queen for my six year old son. He wanted it to be Batman blue, and we even got his own bat signal on the headboard!
I used the plans for the fire station loft bed (http://ana-white.com/2011/11/fire-station-loft-bed), but added the stairs from the camp loft bed (http://ana-white.com/2012/07/plans/camp-loft-bed-stair-junior-height) since my son is young. I was afraid of him climbing down the ladder at night if he wakes up. The stairs are not attached and can be removed when he is older. They were designed so he can climb through the space where the lower rungs of the ladder were and use underneath the stairs as a fort, etc. The project took quite a bit of time and cost about $500 (not including the Kreg Jig or mattress).
I built this for our family room TV and all the components. We wanted to hide all of the TV cords from view when we walked down the stairs - this was perfect! I'm so proud of it! Since this was going to be used where you were able to see the profile, I inset the planked back of the hutch and had to shave off 3/4" for the hutch shelves. I used pocket holes to hold the planks together for the back of the hutch. I decided to add cabinet doors to the console so that I could hide away all of the gaming supplies and unsightly necessitates. I used pine wainscoting and trim with a lip to hide the edges from view.
My granddaughter wanted a lemonade stand and it had to be easily portable. I used Ana White’s plans, made it a little taller (30” counter height, 65” total height), added hinges so the top drops down, and wheels on the back side so you can tilt and pull it behind you like a suitcase. Added a hook for a cutting board and hooks for a bungee strap to hold the cooler, pitchers and supplies inside while you haul it. A sign for her and sissy, some painted wood decor and we’re all set. Just add lemons!

So many great additions, I'm sure your granddaughter is thrilled!!! I'd love to see photos of her working it, if you'd like to share! [email protected]
Thank you for sharing!
This is my FIRST ana-white project and the first furniture I have ever built.
I made a few modifications to the original plan. Rather than using plexi-glass for the doors, I chose to use plywood panels to hide the electronics (Then I will use a rf repeater so the remotes still work). The doors are assembled using half-lap joints cut using a tenoning jig and a slot bit using a router with 1/4" plywood set into the slot during assembly.
I also chose to put a 1/8" roundover to most of the edges with the router to add a little interest and mounted the top doors from the top so they "flip up" rather than down.
Finishing was my biggest challenge but after fixing many mistakes, I finally am satisfied with the result. I used 4 coats of oil-varnish blend on top of a water borne stain.
I really enjoyed this project and it definitely gave me the addiction. I'm pleased with the final product and it's a huge step up from the IKEA thing we had before. I just bought a new table saw and can't wait to start my next one.
Thanks for looking!

I really love how you attached the top doors! And the doors in general look great!

This is absolutely beautiful. What a timeless piece, your hard work has certainly paid off.

Very very nice - especially love that this is your first project!

Thank you sooo much for the comments. This website truly was my sole inspiration for getting into woodworking. I've learned a lot and am humbled by the talent in this community. Thank you.
This was a particularly fun build for me since it was for my little guys' room! Hope Santa fills it with tech goodies on Christmas!! Please check out the details on my website! Happy Holidays!!! :D

Great job. The molding looks perfect too!! I love the name of your site. I live on an island and when I'm working on stuff I like to wear my cowgirl boots :) my friends all tease me for them...but I love getting 'sawdust on my boots'! Again, great job!!
Made this little chalkboard shelf/key holder for my niece. She is building a new house and I thought it would look nice in her kitchen or entry way. It was inspired by Ana's "easiest chalkboard shelf from scraps," but I routed the edges of the 1x12 and add different hooks for keys.
Build this 4x4 Truss Beam Table for my wife's Birthday. For this table however, I did change the top and used the Fancy X Farmhouse Table top shortened to 7' (84"). I also used Whitney's plans on where to put the pocket holes (link provided in 4x4 Truss Beam Table Plans). This is my first wood project and with that first time using an Ana White plan. The plans are awesome and very easy to follow, we can not wait to build the matching benches! Biggest tip I have is do not wait to long after buying the boards to start the build, the wood sat for about 3 weeks(due to work travel) and some warped a lot.
