started with outdoor sofa, and ending making 4 chairs, loveseat, and 2 coffee tables
I wanted a coffee table with a rustic look...without the weight of 2x boards, so I modified this plan a bit and used 1x's instead. It makes it much easier to move around when I need to vacuum up dog hair or anything tracked in on the kiddos' shoes! lol
I customised the Anirondack stools so they are 600 high to fit under a 900 high desk in my Tiny Home.
Used a kreg jig - all up took about 2 hours on each stool. First ever piece of furniture I've made. Very happy with the outcome. Now to fill and oil them.
(I cannot recommend Ana White designs and Kreg Jig's enough to everyone who asks).
This basement storage room was packed with 10 years of junk and smelled like funk! Divided into 3 piles, burn, donate and keep. Now with sealed and painted walls and epoxy'd floors we hope to use this as a storage/craft room. Next on the list is a craft/storage/wrapping station for the other corner. I also built a small stand that the artificial tree is sitting on. Due to condensation (humid Michigan summers) we don't want anything to sit on the concrete.
Loved this project, it has been on my wish list forever. It was my first time building drawers. We used red-oak wood for the hardwood legs and also for the little trim piece right above the leg. I stained the entire piece with golden oak stain and used red oak stain on top of that for everything except the faux drawer fronts and hardwood. This brought the pine 1x2s to a matching shade with the real red oak. If I did it over again, I would stain the drawer front and chair back pieces prior to assembly because I taped them all off when I applied the different colors, which was a pain. I bought the apothecary drawer pulls on amazon. I am beyond happy at the way it turned out. I even modified the top center drawer so I could put my printer in it. I cut a hole in the drawer box and put the bottom drawer front piece on a hinge so my printer paper could come out. I added a latch to the inside of the drawer to keep that flap shut when not in use. Thanks so much, Ana, for another amazing plan!
There were a few errors to the plan, as follows:
Plan calls for 7 -2x2 @ 8' but you actually need 9.
As for additional cuts, you will need:
4- 2x2 @ 20-1/4, not 2.
4-2x2 @ 23-1/4, not 2.
8 -2x2 @ 14-1/2, not 2.
8- 2x2 @12-3/4, not 2.

I love this, especially your printer modification. That's some ingenuity. Nicely done!
Made the Farmhouse Bed to fit our new adjustable bed. Thanks to Ana White and all her free plans, I’ve been able to build SO many things!

We built this for our daughter's 6th birthday! Love how it turned out :D As you can see we opted to leave the plywood backing off for the time being so she can use it as a doll house and play on both sides. When she grows out of the doll house phase we will either convert it to a book shelf, donate, or sell in a yard sale ... so many options!
i used the full size farmhouse plan for this bed. i added the LED light strips from ebay to the bottom to give the glowing effect. i built the bed for my 3 year old so we use it as a night light. she loves it.

So cool! I love bright colors in the room. Awesome job!
This is my attempt at the 2x4 outdoor sofa. The entire sofa is made out of 2x4 Redwood, so the cost was a little high at $150 for the wood. I'm still waiting on cushions, but I went overboard and bought them custom made so the total for those came out to $520. Overall, I could have easily bought a complete set online but hey, this is more fun!
My one concern is the back support. I'm thinking of building something angled in, but haven't thought of the best approach yet, that will still look good.
I built this table for my mother-in-law. I added a brace/frame for under the top. That helped me with the angled legs. This table takes a beating at their house as she watches kids all day long. The plans produce a very sturdy table. The whole table is Dark Walnut stain and Satin Poly(oil based).
My son kept telling me he didn’t need anything for his birthday, so I asked him what would make him happy!!!! He said a new dresser for my granddaughter because he wanted to burn the one they bought her!!😄
So, I had just seen your post of this new design and it is perfect!!!! My son and granddaughter LOVE it.

My first build! Took me a while to complete, but I was in know hurry and was learning about carpentry/woodworking as I went. Overall it was a great success and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Thanks to ana-white.com!!
Built this bookcase based on the plans for the tall rustic X bookshelf, but made a couple modifications to use one entire sheet of plywood. It made for a monster bookshelf but is perfect for out needs! I also added the cross detail in the middle for extra support, I love how it turned out! I followed the tutorial that mimics restoration hardwares finish applied to originally the farmhouse table plans I think. Combination of weathered oak and special walnut stains with a satin poly.
Turned out looking amazing. My family loves it. Thank you for sharing these design plans!
So Fun!! My first ever wood build!! I’m completely addicted now ha! Thank you so much! I’m learning so much from watching your videos.
My scrap wood storage boxes were overflowing so I decided to try a queen size chevron headboard (with no plans) using teak, rangas , mahogany and other select woods I had used on other projects. I used 2 coats of clear gloss lacquer. I like the way it turned out. Richard - retired
My daughter loves this! And now I have to make one for my youngest! Instead of rope I used 3/8" Bungee Shock Cord. I used one long piece and threaded it through the screw eyes. I put the screw eyes in the top, middle and bottom.
This project is the first of many FUN KIDS rooms by Breckenshear Designs. We started out using the plans for the cottage loft bed and allowed the bed design to evolve to meet the needs of our two children. Our room space was limited to 10x11 so the function of this bed was extremely important. Our daughters LOVE their new space and my partner and I look forward to creating many more fantastic rooms! Thanks Ana White for the cottage loft bed plans!

OH.MY.GOODNESS.GRACIOUS! Will you adopt me??? This is spectacular!
I needed a couple more birdhouses and this plan was perfect! They were super easy and quick to build and the pickets were on sale for $1.18, so it only cost $.59 for each house!
