This was my first Ana White project and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out! I didn't change any measurements. I did add trim along the top and bottom.

I was going to paint it white with blue trim but my white paint didn't look usable anymore. So I went all blue and I'm happy the way it turned out. I decided to leave the trim natural. I really like the blue pop in the laundry room!

Adapted from plans for Bedside charging table. Made it taller and wider to accommodate a hidden litter box inside. Cut out a cat silhouette for entry through the side. Cabinet is big enough for litter box and extra litter and scoop. Antique painted white finish distressed by sanding and used a coffee glaze over it. 

Used the grandy sliding door console plans but modified due to space. Shortened it to a 5 foot length. Wanted rustic feeling so did a custom stain using a golden pecan mixed with golden mahogany. Being mindful of cost and used pine with bead board on the back.  Super pleased with the result! Thanks for the ability to use your plans!

For this project, we followed the plans for the Firetruck Bed and also modified them a bit to fit our needs in the room. From start to finish, this project took two weeks to complete and cost us roughly $200 to build and $100 to paint. We were lucky though in that nearly everything we needed to purchase was on special or sale.

Thanks for the easy tutorial...Made that last night with my two oldest kids (7 and 9) and we love it! 

This was the first thing I have ever built, and I loved making the playhouse! I took pictures of every step I did! It was very rewarding to see the look on my girls faces with it was done!! They absolutely love it!!! Thank you for posting the plans.

Repurposed twin headboard to shelf for a granddaughter's birthday present. I added a shelf from a repurposed bed rail leaving the supports and attaching it to the headboard with glue and nail gun. I painted it with Ace Royal neon blue, and Ace fluorescent pink and green on the knobs which I found on sale at a local building center. 

We used library catalog handles that I found cheap on Amazon. We adjusted depth reducing 3 inches and did an routered edge wood overlay on top. I also had my husband router all 1x2 and 1x3 except short edges of 1x2's. My favorite project yet but it took a couple week so to finish between job and kids. I used honey stain and 3-5 coats of poly until I was happy. Thanks for the guidance and giving me a plan to work from.

Santa decided to get come to Ana this year for some help with a train table instead of getting one from (insert big box toy store here). It ended up being pretty easy and a lot of fun, and our boys loved it! Santa decided he needed as much room on top as possible to put train and didn't need it to hide away so we skipped the cutting the top piece of plywood in half and left out the middle peice. We then added a track set and a few extras and painted the top. Thanks for the plans Ana! -(Santa)

My husband and I built this to place our huge white board on for homeschooling. We altered it a bit by adjusting the length to 7 ft. It was painted lavender ( my favorite color). I may have to add another easel to prevent the white board from sliding off. Thank you Ana for your awesome plans.

This was a fun project... i really enjoyed it! It was my first time staining, so I learned some things, and it got a lot of compliments from customers!

We needed extra garden space this year and I thought adding one of these planters would be a great addition. So far it has. It allows me to easily weed, which is my most despised gardening job. Added bonus that the dog can't dig it up, and bunnies can't nibble on my plants. It also makes a great art canvas for my son's chalk drawings.

Instead of the double handles I went for a center handle. Little darker stain than what's posted.
