While building this plan, we decided we liked it better with doors on the inside, and shelves on the outside. With some modern paint choices, we made this classic plan fit our style!

my wife tagged me on facebook right before Xmas with the plans and picture of this, so i dusted off my tools and built her one as a present. its not only great for her but it makes the laundry easier for me as well. I had to mofidy the base of mine because my dryer vent comes up through the floor in the corner.
This was a challenge for me, since those 2x6 top boards were slightly twisted and or cupped. I love the X detail and that was fun to put together. I found some "L" brackets and spray painted them for the ends. I stained all the wood first, before assembling.It's a gray/brown stain, one of my favorites. I decided to white wash over the stain doing all of table except for the top. I used a wax finish.
Love it, many times my ukulele, mandolin, banjo and fiddle are all tucked away underneath.
While my vacation property was being built I got hooked on Ana’s plans. Farm table, followed by coffee and end tables and finally a fabulous pub table.
Can’t wait to entertain.

WOW, these are amazing and look fabulous in the space! Thank you for sharing.
My wife wanted an antiqued turquiose headboard for our beach house. Your plans and dimensions worked perfectly. I added the center support to bring the warped boards into compliance. Thank you Ana ...
This my first woodworking project. It is far from perfect but turned out okay!

Love it! This is gorgeous, what a great first project.
Thank you for sharing a brag post, we appreciate it!
Used this app to build a custom nook for shoes and coats. Its been fantastic and super easy to put together!

Great custom solution! Thank you so much for sharing your awesome project.
Used the plans here, but adjusted to fit my own hampers and to use all scraps on hand, including leftover primer and paint. Completly FREE build!

This looks awesome!! Very curious to know how you like it and do you have any problems keeping the washer on the pedestal. Are the washer and dryer mounted to the pedestal, if so how? Have been looking at lots of these plans but none of the comments talk about using it.

As long as the washer has been well levelled with the bottom levellers attached and your floor and pedestal are level, there really shouldn't be a problem. I did make the pedestal larger because I was a little nervous also. So far no problems whatsoever.
A lap desk for each Grandkid. They love using them for watching TV, reading, and a flat surface for building Lego castles...
Just a couple of suggestions. First the holes must be drilled exactly in the middle of the leg and the frame or the leg will not fold properly. I suggest placing the hole about 1/16" off center and then sanding the leg to make it flush when folded. Second the bolt only needs to be 2". I also used my $30 trim router from Harbor Freight to round-over all of the exposed edges.

Did you have any issues with the cap nuts loosening when you raise and lower the legs? I bought 2" bolts (1/4" bolts and drilled 1/4" holes. Now the bolts turn when I raise and lower the legs and the cap nuts loosen. I'd appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks!
I made a simple rolling crate, and put it on its sides. Attached casters on the bottom. I used my scrap 2x4's for the top. Boom! A beautiful rolling side table with storage.
I had a client send me a pic of the bed she wanted. It was very similar to Ana's tall panel bed. She was upsizing from a queen to a king and wanted it to match her previous set.
"It’s screaming creative clutter 🤣😅 but at least I got it built! Thank you so much @anawhitediy for the desk plans 🖤"

Hope you don't mind the modification to make it narrower. Thinking about you getting that roof on asap! Happy Thanksgiving.
This Pergola cost around 200 to build for lumber, concrete (poured around posts) and an additional 50-60 for fabric used to create shade.
It went up in about 8 hours from start to finish with the help of a novice friend.
I omitted some of the column details to save time and money.
This was a lot of fun. Altered it to make it 44" x 44". 4 seater
I came across some 18'x12"x1" (actual size) boards that were milled around 1870. These planks came out of the roof for the building. Rather than cut them down I just built a "double frame"
I used 2x redwood for the frame.
Here is my version of the shiplap fireplace wall finished up!

After seeing the many posts on here about the great laundry basket dresser, my husband and I embarked on our first project. I knew I wanted the double dresser with the counter for folding on top. We love how it turned out! Since this picture, I have added shelves on the far left section. I also chose to use 1x2 for the slats instead of the "L" shaped pieces of steel.

Very nice blog!! I learned how to decorate site amazingly by visiting here. Informative, instructive and as a reader I enjoyed this post. See you on your next updates. :)
We wanted a table but didn't want to pay the ridiculous price of 600-800$ for table then 250$ for one bench.So we made our own table. 6ft long. Along with two matching benches. Think the total project cost us around 200$ for wood.
I fell in love with the truss beam table, but realized that it would be too small for our family of 7. With a little altering and using ideas from the pub/counter table, my husband and I were able to complete this lovely square table!! It stands about 36 inches high and is about 60 inches across. I am in love!
We used Ana White's plans beginner farm table plans to build this table and can't recommend these plans more! Thank you Ana! The build took my husband and I two hours to build. The sanding, sealing, painting, stenciling, and finishing took several days, but the actually build was VERY easy and straightforward. We're total beginners, so we were very happy. The stencils are from Cutting Edge Stencils and are called "Indian Inlay Furniture Stencil Kit by Kim Myles."
