My mom bought a similar one several years ago and I've been wanting something like this ever since...so glad I came across this site so I can proudly say I built it myself whenever someone asks!

I would like to purchase something like this, but I cannot find it any where. I actually want to make it into a laundry hamper where it is deep enough to fit two tall thin laundry baskets. Can anyone help me on this?

Absolutely adore how yours turned out. Such an elegant look. Please share the color you used. Can't really tell if it's black or a very dark brown. Thanks and congrats on the gorgeous result!

Is that beadboard trim on the front door? I'd also like to know the color you used. Very beautifully done!
Hi Everyone,
I decided to make this table for my growing family. Total length is around 7ft, perfect for family dinners or entertaining

Hi all, this is my first build. It's loosely based on the farmhouse table plans without the breadboard ends but with dowelling down the joins to prevent warping
This is a 5x5ft square farmhouse table that I built for my dining room. It's all kiln dried construction lumber. I bought a thickness planer to get this right. I got tired of the twists in the boards that made it impossible to get the table top flat and consistent. It's completely worth it. I cut all the boards down from 2x12 lumber to 10 inch width. I routered the edge of each plank with 1/8 bit to give it a small crack in between the planks. I sprayed the new varathane poly, water-based, and it came out perfect. I ended up with 4 coats.
Hello everyone, today I’m sharing details on something I built recently: a Bailey Chair for dogs suffering from Megaesophagus.
Dogs with megaesophagus have an enlarged esophagus. This makes swallowing food difficult. Eating while in an upright position helps and the task of keeping the dog vertical is easier when the dog is sitting in a Bailey chair.
This blog post is less of a detailed how to and more of showing in progress photos. Adam, over at Lazy Guy DIY, has put together a great tutorial on how to build the Bailey Dog Chair. I followed his instructions with very few modifications.
Stunning Fireplace Built in by Emily.
My laundry room is really small and laundry baskets were always in the way. I needed a way to organize it better. I thought it would be really cool to have a way have the baskets more accessable and take up as little space as possible. I started thinking up a plan when I decide to check and see what might be here and found the perfect project. My husband and I modified it just a little. Instead of building 2 smaller units and stacking them we decided to build it all in one unit. We added a shelf in the middle to help stablize it more. We also made wood side supports and only used them for the top 2 baskets in each section leaving the other two baskets to sit on the shelf and the bottom peice. We built it in just a few hours but because I used oil based paint to finish it, it too a while longer for it to dry.
Made 2 of these for my daughters. Then had a request for one from a teacher for a homebound student awaiting a liver transplant. I love that this site has given me the opportunity and means to help serve others. Thank you Ana!!!
The goal of this project was to create a buffet / serving table to compliment the large farmhouse table I made a while back. We have been using a folding table for a buffet line at large family gatherings and that just didnt seem right when placed next to the giant 10' table. (info for the table: http://www.ana-white.com/2014/07/big-farmhouse-table)
The build is similar to the farmhouse table, but the materials are a bit smaller due to the size of the table. The legs are 2x3's and the table top itself is made of 2x6's outlining a 2' x 5' section of tile. All of the other materials (stretchers and apron) are made from 1x3s. The tile is set so it sits about 1/8" higher than the wood. This is to allow hot pans and plates to be placed directly on the tile without a trivet or other separator. The tile sets on a 3/4" piece of MDF supported by small 1x2 slats underneath.
All of the joinery is accomplished with glue and Kreg Jig / Screws.
https://m.imgur.com/gallery/e9J96Q2 Good build, certainly had its challenges. Overall totally worth it to see how much my wife liked the end product.
Queen size distressed farmhouse bed and nightstand with expanded metal inserts in door and headboard that we made rusty and then clear coated.
I made this yard sign just in time for Halloween. I FINALLY found a use for some of my scrap wood. This was a fun project, start to finish in one day. I used stain and paint to add bold color. Details are on my blog.
Made this for my granddaughter Reagan's American Girl doll. I made the bed and my wife made the sheets and blanket and pillow. Your plans were awesome!
Made it taller and added a shelf
Loved building these planter boxes!
I was able to use my laser to addd some personalization.
I also added small wedges at two levels in all four corners. This not only made it very sturdy but with a half lap “x” it creates two levels to pick from for different size pots
I had an idea in my head of what I wanted for deck seating/lounging in my mind but just couldn't seem to get to the "nitty gritty" of creating workable plans. Then, while googling through images of double loungers I stumbled onto Ana's site. Wow! I felt like a fish that had just found the water! With the detailed plans generously provided for a double lounger I was able to create my "vision" with just slight modifications. The loungers are actually two chairs and two ottomans that fit together or come apart depending on how much "togetherness" the situation calls for. And best of all - almost all the materials were left overs and cut pieces from another deck and fencing project. For cushions (not in this photo) I used two inexpensive "Hide A Mats" folding beds from Costco that I covered with waterproof duck fabric. I can't thank you enough, Ana, for taking the time to share your talent so freely. I'm truly grateful. As is Jake, the Redbone Coonhound, who insisted on being in the photo!

Beautiful job! I really need to create these for our backyard too, and Buck, our treeing walker coonhound :) lol. Jake is a cutie!

I would have never thought to break it up into a chair and ottoman. Brillant! I love that idea!
We made this for our sons 5th Birthday. We adjusted the measurements for a twin/XL hoping it will last him until college!
I had loved the king size panel headboard so I knew I wanted to build that, I also built the platform and remainder of the frame from the farmhouse king bed plan. It took me a while to get this built but was totally worth it.
Loft bed over perpendicular twin base. Added puck led lighting for about $10.
Resized the sectional to fit on our patio for my husband’s man cave! Also built the table and bar area using Ana White’s wood ordering system.
I built a couple trestle play tables for a friend of mine a few weeks ago and she needed some seating, but didn't want stools. So I used the stools as a jumping off point for a small bench for these tables.
I used the height and width of the stool, but then made it long for a bench. Used 10 degree angle cuts for legs (not double bevel), added apron and stretcher, then nailed on the top.
