I made this sink from a sink that I saw on here one time and can't find now. Just improvised didn't follow a plan. I have it in my garage and plan to stain it and add some touchs soon.

I needed to make the dresser in three pieces so that I could get it into my attic bed room. and I used pine for the "quilt" like pattern on the top and fronts. I would use hardwood if I did it again. But I love the small drawers on top. It is finished in teak oil.

Wow, that is really neat, I really like the quilt like pattern!
We shortened the length of the table to 5 1/2 feet. Took me bits and pieces of 3 weeks to build working around rain days and napping children.
Around $80 in materials, not counting the new orbital sander (which I wanted for a while).
Looking forward to building 2 benches next month. A sturdy table for my family of 7. (Including 3 boys!!!)
This was my first project. I see the flaws, but overall, I'm very happy. I built mostly myself, but hubby had to help with the hauling indoors/outdoors, kids held wood while I used the saw, stood on boards while I attached. It was fun for all of us and we are thrilled with the results. Even the scratch in the tabletop photo below was done by my 2 yr old and I call that his little touch!
I made the Farmhouse Storage bed for my son's room, which also has to double as the guest room. It has a planked headbord and footboard. I made the slats in removable sections under the mattress to access the storage between the drawer boxes. Also modified the drawers somewhat to use less wood (basically they don't have a double-thickness front). I also used 1/2" plywood to cut down on the weight of the drawers, and they seem to work great! I used iron-on veneer to cover up the raw edges of the plywood on the drawer boxes.

My daughter wanted this for her first bed. I loved how it turned out to match her room!! The plans were super easy to follow. I am so grateful for the time and thought process that went into making these plans. Thank you so much!!
I made this simple but elegant projects for a last minute Christmas gift.

Looks great, I'm sure the recipient loved it! Thank you for sharing:)
I loved the idea of the magnet wall, but I knew that something smaller would be perfect for this 12 year old girl's room redo- so we just framed it out in painted 1x2's.
I was searching online for plans for Bunk Beds and came across Ana-White.com. I found the Sweet Pea Bunk Bed and my wife and I both fell in love. My daughters are very "into" princesses right now, so I took the elements of the Sweet Pea Bunk Bed and modified it slightly to create a castle look, so that my oldest could "climb to the highest tower of the castle". They both love playing with their beds!

I love the castle twist! When the neighbor kids come over, they say the same thing about the top bunk- it is amazing what stairs can do! Your little castle is truly fit for a princess!
I could not find a big enough, awesome enough trellis in stores, so I built my own out of cull lumber [the stuff on super-clearance no one else wants] for about $12 and a left-over post pocket. Thanks for the inspiration!!
I wanted to do something special for Christmas for my 4 year old daughter. I have no real experience so this was one big lesson. The site and the photos from others made it feel so doable... I got it done in time and we finally painted it. My daughter picked all the colors and we painted it together the last few cold weekend days. What a great experience. Thank you for making DIY feel so doable... now I’m completely hooked and her twin brother told me he wants to build a chair with me.. but a big one ... uh oh.
When we became accidental chicken owners, we had to build a coop fast. I found the plans for Ana’s replica of the Williams Sonoma chicken coop and got to work. They were very easy to follow and easy to modify to fit our own needs and aesthetic. We decided to enlarge the coop and remove the planter in the original plans do we could accommodate more chickens while keeping the original footprint. Instead of plywood, we used cedar reclaimed from an old fence we had recently replaced. We also enlarged the rear door to make clean out as easy as possible. I cut pieces of corrugated plastic that fit inside the door and windows to winterize the coop when temps drop below freezing. The run is designed to follow the shape of the coop and is large enough to give our 5 chickens plenty of space. The planter box runs the length of the chicken run, providing some plants to munch on inside and shady vines that will eventually cover the outside. Thanks for the awesome plans!
I made these two pallet shelves to go in my living room to hold all of our magazines, coasters, and remote controls that were constantly getting left all over the place. They've been there for almost a year now, and they work so well!
I did this project as a Father's Day gift for my dad who is a photographer and has lots of pictures! I plan on making another one for my house because I like it so much. Mine took longer than it should have because I made a few mistakes, like not making sure the pocket holes were facing the right way before I screwed the main frame together. I also accidentally measured and drilled in the twine screws on the wrong side and had to fix that. So if i had done everything right the first time, this project would have only taken a few hours to complete. Fun and easy to do!
Inspired by the ryobi dream workshop. Shelving unit and the feed carts are complete. Still working on the the organization of all our stuff!
This was my second project. My Wife asked me for a desk and gave me a pintrest link, except that they had no dimensions, cut list or even material list. I found some youtube vids that covered same type desk and made my own plans.
Again, the whole thing was made with table saw and battery powered drill. Well, not counting the sander and hand plane.
I was initially going to provide the plans, material list, cut list etc but a lot of the cuts were done by eyeball and I don't wish the pain of doing this project without a miter saw on my worst enemy...
Overall it came out a lot better then I thought it would considering my lack of experience and "know how". Table top is held together using pocket holes and wood glue, the article on Ana's website about table tops helped me a ton!
As for stains its cherry on the bottom and aged white on the top. The 4x4's that I used for the base were of some red hued wood so the cherry color blended them with the white wood 2x4's that make up the decoration supports.
If you have any questions feel free to ask, this was my second project and I learned a lot of do's and dont's.
Total cost ~$200.
Total time, for me it was about 30 hours over two weeks, if you know what you doing and got the right tools probably half of that.
I made this for my son's second birthday last year.
I made a few changes to the plans. Instead of a shelf in the oven, I put in a wire cooling rack to resemble a oven rack. I put knobs on the back of the stovetop instead of the lower front. I added doors to the lower half on the sink.
The sink is a 9" loaf pan. The stove knobs and faucet were salvaged.
Toy food and realistic pots and pans are from IKEA.
Built this coffee bar with the diy barn door hardware. Wife loves it. This is made of about 80% reused / repurposed wood. Thank you Ana for the great videos and simple to follow plans.

WOW, love the mods and the finish! Wonderful, wonderful job and thank you for sharing.:)
After moving to Miami from a Log Cabin in Western Pennsylvania, I wanted to have a bedroom that was decorated very "Miami." The best option was to build a bed and finish it myself. The body of the headboard is whitewashed and the trim is a cactus gel stain. Thanks Ana!
My wife wanted me to make this. The frame was meant to be coated in polyurethane but as the wood did not look the best, i painted it. I think the colours work quite well.
The stairs are different, i wanted something unique for those.
My daughter loved it as it was a birthday present for her.
The project took about 3 weeks in the evenings after work for a couple of hours most days.
