I fell in love with the simplicity of this table. I had been wanting a new table for a good while and when I stumbled on Ana’s YouTube video of this table, I knew this one was easy enough for my husband and I to tackle! Thank you, Ana!!!!

First project

The Ana White corn hole board plans were straightforward and easy to understand. Building was a breeze. Our boards turned out great!

We needed a bed for our girls but had very little time to build one. My husband found Anna's site and we were excited to give this project a try. In today's market it's easy to spend a lot and not get much with regards to quality or longevity. At least, if we build it, we know the quality of the material, the workmanship and the love that go into whatever it is we are making. Without the encouragement and easy to follow plans and instruction I doubt we'd have been able to accomplish so much. Our girls just love their new bed.. THANKS ANNA! Now... on to the next project. The folks at our local hardware stores are getting to know us by name! ;-)

I built this coffee table after my father-in-law accidentally broke my Rooms-to-Go coffee table by sitting on it. It ended up working out pretty well in the end because now I have a place to store all the excess blankets my kids use that were piled up "neatly" in the corner behind the end table. The plans were very helpful in getting all the measurements just right but don't go into any detail on how to actually go about assembling the table. My biggest regret would be how I connected the two tabletop ends. I used wood dowels and glue. It is holding up very well and looks nice but I didn't get as snug of a fit as I would have liked. I definitely recommend using a different joining technique. This was my first project using the plans on this website and I am looking forward to my next project.

Shortened by 4". Changed all 1" to 2" and used 2x4 instead of 2x2! Used 2x6 for the seat. Used pocket holes and screws. Love them!

I've done a couple of things from plans on this site but this turned out awesome. We had some old weathered rocking chairs that I dismantled and was able to use some of the wood for these Adirondack chairs.

Could have gone with a dark stain but the gray really worked well on this. Pretty simple build and very sturdy chairs. I loved this project and will certainly be making more of these.

I modified the original design to make this unit suitable for my son's room. It has basically the same dimensions as the original "Dress Up Tower." I also created a version that can be used as a bookshelf which will have 3-5 shelves (see bottom picture).

So far I have completed the SketchUp rendering and hardboard router template and am in the process of building the whole unit. I will post completed pics when finished.

If you'd like the SketchUp templates, just email I'll send them to you. Printing out the paper template at 1:1 will allow you to get the radius correct on the surfboard sides.

My friend's daughter's both love American Girl Dolls. I have made them the bunk beds and the Farmhouse bed. But they really wanted a couch. I made them one using some of the elements from the Farmhouse Bed. I used a blue paint with a pickling whitewash stain on top.

I did have a hard time getting a good photo of the finished project.

This was so quick and easy. I finished the couch with white chalk paint. I bought 2 fat quarters to make the cushions from.

I made the large rustic bench to go at the bottom of my bed. I am so happy at the finish product, now I'm going to build the whole table and bench set.

Built to be used for my coffee bar.

My space was really small (28" wide and 14" deep), so wanted to use the space to its capacity. Sorry, about the pictures being not of the full thing, not enough room for a full length picture.

When I saw the plans for the flower storage table, I realized it was just what we needed for homework time.... Except our only child is a boy, so I just made the top a square instead of a flower. Also because I bought the least expensive plywood, it was too rough for a homework surface so we bought very thin plexiglass to go over it. The thick plexiglass would have cost $60 for a sheet, but the thin option was around $14.00. My son loves it so much he eats his breakfast and dinner at the table. It sits in the corner of our livingroom and is just the right size.

Our "Grand-cousins" made this as a gift for our three girls this Christmas. We are very excited to receive it! I know our three girls will get a lot of fun, pretend playtime out of it! I especially love how they customized it for our girls. They did a TV news station instead of a puppet theater. They also added some wooden mail for the girls to play with.

great project to do with the kids
