I built this chicken coop a few years ago for my cousin. I was happy with the plans, and the ease of the build, and she was happy at how easy it was to move. **This picture does not show the wheels installed.
I built this L shape desk based on Ana White's rustic X desk plan. I would not have attempted this without her guidance. Love how this turned out, probably the nicest project I've ever done. Thanks Ana!

This is awesome! My son and I are looking to build an L shaped desk for him and this looks to be the one. Any thoughts on how I would mount a computer tray beneath? Think there is enough clearance below the 2x4 without hitting knees?
Thanks!
Modified to have storage boxes on only one side since it was being placed next to a wall.

Love everything about this room! Great job on the bed!
I switched out my fall pumpkin decor for Christmas decor!

I like your design. Finally made an account and will be making matching ones. Thanks for the inspiration. If the better half doesn't like the first one I will have a new stool for my workbench

by adjusting circular saw depth and using chisel and hammer and lots of sanding :)
We had pool toys and nerf guns all over our porch! I decided to build a locker system for all of it! I already had the bench, so I modified the plans a bit to fit around it. I also added extra hooks for wet towels and goggles to be hung up to dry. Some of the hooks are large bolts that we had laying around the tool shed. They actually hold wet towels in place better than store bought hooks ;)
We followed the Essential Entryway Bench plan and modified it slightly to fit our home. We used a 35 degree miter cut at the corners of the trim, and finished the top with a dark walnut wood stain. The accent between the two colors is our favorite part!
Found the plans for the sawhorse table on Ana and knew it would be perfect as my new sewing table. Such a lovely piece that will be very universal throughout the house!
Became a weekend project only because of the stain and painting that had to be done.
My cousin recently got married and wanted a beer wall at her wedding. I quickly searched Ana's site for the perfect plan and chose the Tall Panel Headboard for my starting point. With a few modifications it became a beer wall in no time at all. I love how Ana's plans can be easily modified to make a totally different project.
No fancy wood was used here. Just regular wood from the big box store. A jockey box was attached to the back side of the wall. It worked awesome!
Since I discovered this site in January, I've made close to 30 items from her plans. I'm ridiculously addicted and not just with Ana's site but also with her blog friends. For Valentine's Day I asked for a Air Strike gun and got it. It was better than jewelry and chocolates! I'm well on my way to collecting my own tools and learning how to save money by making it myself. Oh, and I can't even begin to tell you how impressed everyone is with my finished products.
I needed a new hobby and missed going out on date nights with my husband. So we decided to take on a new hobby that we could do together while filling in our new home. (We moved from Florida to Illinois a year ago) I came across the farmhouse coffee table plans and just loved how it looked. With it being a beginner project I was pretty optimistic about how it would come out. I watched videos on how to stain and use polyurethane on YouTube to complete the project. I love that my husband and I built these together and that we can finish furnishing our new house with things we built.
Our cost was higher cause I added in everything it took to get to the end result.
I've always wanted a wooden outdoor table for our patio. This site has inspired my husband and I to finally make our own. We combined the 4x4 Truss beam table design with the Providence table design, and created this cedar table that can seat 10. My husband built it and I stained it with Behr transparent cedar naturaltone stain. It only took about 6 hours for my husband to build despite all our measurements are different than the original designs due to change in table size and the wood size purchased. Sanding took about hour to 2 and then follow by a wash. Staining took 3 hours since I did double layers. It turned out amazing and we can't wait to put it to use! Thanks Ana for making these plans available.
I used wood from an older Ana white project of a loft bed my daughter had out grown. I liked the look of Ana's Mom bed but wanted storage so I modified the plans slightly. I will add drawers later.
I made a workbench for my garage it was pretty easy. I also made an instructional youtube video if you want to learn how to make it. #diy #workbench #bench
This was my second project (first was a work bench) and it came out great.

Customized version of the clubhouse bed that is so popular! We went the extra mile on the finishing touches to ensure an awesome bed for our little guy! We made the bed taller for more space underneath and polished up the finished product to create a higher end look. Care was taken to precisely sand all areas of the bed for a smooth finish and polished look. All pocket-holes are filled with plugs and sanded smooth on the inside of the bed for an overall finished product. No shortcuts taken! We went the extra mile and painted the carriage bolts so they would blend in with the whitewash finish and also recessed the nut on the back of the legs for safety and added a cap so they are not visible. Top of the bed, above the door, is filled in and a custom ladder finishes off the look. We went with smaller lumber to build the ladder and it is perfect!! We are over the moon with this project and will be building more items as fast as we can. Also, the sign, under-bed shelves, and industrial shelves were built by my husband. He did an epic job creating this room!! We used better grade wood and spent a lot of time sanding to ensure a great bed in the end. We also went with a Benjamin Moore stain that was a little more expensive and took the time to finish the slats under the bed.

I love this bed! I was looking at the BM site and was wondering what exact stain did you use? there are 5 different opacities & I want to make sure I get the right one. Thanks!!

Did you ever figure out what stain was used on this particular bed? I love it.
Thank you for the plans, shed turned out great! My association required me to match the siding color, roof color, and anchor to a concrete slab. So I poured 25 bags of 80lbs concrete to make a 9x5 slab. Redid the plans for an 8x4 shed, built the frame with 2x4s and not 2x2's, installed flashing, ice/water shield + felt + matching shingles since I'm near Chicago, and used a flexio finishing sprayer to paint the shed. Saved some $ by using 2 Redwood Grain Fiber siding panels for $22 each at HD.
All in all very happy with my shed and all my dangerous yard tools and woodworking tools can be put away from my toddler.
I’ve built the greenhouse for your plans, but I love it.

Had to make modifications for size, errors, and personal preference, but we love this table! Still deciding on all white paint or a 2-tone finish. Also- first time using a Kreg jig. What an amazing tool.
Thank you Ana for the excellent plans. We have been talking about this for months and are excited finally have a greenhouse. We live in the mountains and this will help extend our growing season. Please tell Ram thank you from the Wranglerlerstar family.

Did you extend the base height? I want a greenhouse to enclose trees that do not do well in the winter and I think I would like to raise the base height a foot or so.
This was one of my favorite DIY projects. It's so much more affordable than buying patio furniture, and the building instructions make it sturdy as ever.
I built this with my fiance, who you'll see in the image of the in-progress bench. It was a snap for us, since we have a fair amount of experience building our own furniture. With the right tools, this project can take only two days, including wait time in between coats of paint and varnish.
We made our sofa to fit the cushions we found, and thus, the sofa is actually 84" wide, instead of 72" wide. By doing this, we also eliminated the need for a love seat, and instead are in the process of making two chairs to match this sofa. All in all, our patio will seat 6, which is what we were aiming for.
TOOLS
The most important part of making this an easy, fun project is having the right tools. I highly recommend you purchase or borrow:
- Compound miter saw
- Kreg jig
- Square head screws (stripping these is nearly impossible)
