My parent's helped us re-roof our home this summer and we wanted to build them something as a thank you gift. They went out of town this weekend so we busted out this little headboard, finished it and snuck it into their bedroom. They get home tomorrow and they're going to be so surprised! I really hope they love it!

We built this from our experience with Ana's site but it isn't one of her plans. It is a piece of purebond plywood we had leftover measuring 25" by 48" so we framed it out in 2x4s and topped it with a 2x6" and 4x4 legs. It was super simple and cheap to make. I finished it with Watco Danish oil in Dark walnut and did 2 coats.

I love it and it really looks good with the rest of their furniture and their beautiful bedding!

Fun build for my wife. Added back boards to the shelves. They were routed and set flush to the cabinet

learning woodworking. this is only my 2nd project. We.are going.to use to place our 6 bottle wine chiller.on. Going to stain dark to match living room. I added some decorative molding as you.can. I.still can't believe I am actually making real furniture. Thanks Ana, I finally.found a hobby I enjoy after 30 years since wood shop in 7th.grade.

We followed the plan and were able to successfully create a picnic table for our own "big kids". It's a great size for school-aged children and allows us to have a space for them and their friends to eat and do messy artwork.

It was fun to create this smaller version of the table

Yea! I made this for my second boy for Christmas. He wanted yet another art set. When I saw the plans I knew I had to make it! Ana I love you and your site and your amazing ideas! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

After reading all the comments I decided to make the desk part a little wider on each side to make room for the hinges. It worked great. The hinges did rub so I just got out a pocket knife and put some notches where they were rubbing...problem solved! My son loves it and I love that he has somewhere to hide his stuff!

I built this nightstand for a 7 year old girls birthday.

These storage step stools are super easy to build. I've built several over the couple of years. The first was for my daughter and then several more since, including one for the Make Two Challenge.
The functionality of these little stools is what really makes them great. My daughter is able to carry it from room to room with her toys stowed away in the little hidden storage area.

I modified the length to fit my dining room. Very easy to build and finished in a weekend. Total cost for wood was about $105. Best project I've built yet! Working on the matching bench this weekend.

Custom sized bed for our son's room.

My husband and I modified the lovely Miss Ana White's dollhouse bookshelf plans to create this awesome Barbie Dollhouse for our 2 and 4 year old daughters to Christmas. They love it, and I love that it will last for years! Thank you Ana, for your amazing talents and your giving heart...your sharing your talents means the world to me and my family!!

I needed a desk for in the finished basement. It's not the nicest of spaces but I am trying to class it up a bit while saving money. This desk was pretty easy to build and is one SOLID piece of furniture. This is something that will last a lifetime (or two, or three). Couldn't be happier with how this turned out. I followed the plans to the letter. The shopping list on the plans was one 2x4 short but other than that it was spot on. Love your site Ana! Thanks for all you share!

This coffee table was a weekend project that turned out quite well.
