Just completed this to make the most of the little hot weather we get in the UK. Great plans to follow thank you. Built around a cushion set for a rattan corner sofa which was then filled with 3" firm upholstery foam

I built this project with a friend and it took me longer than I wanted, only because I'm new to woodworking and don't know hardly anything about it. After what I thought should only take a couple of hours, I finally completed the Buffet Table for my wife. I thought I was going to complete the whole thing under $250 but I soon learned that things are little more expensive in the small town of Delta Junction Alaska. I think my total cost was $450 but it was well worth it to complete this and finally my wife can put it to some good use.

I'd love to build this buffet table for my house. Could you direct me to some plans you used to build this? Thanks!

Any chance you have plans to make this? I see someone else has something similar to this and I love the style and everything about it, but I don't know how to make plans. Could you please contact me with the plans if you have them? I would LOVE them. Thanks so much.

My husband built our daybed and I upholstered it. I made 3 large pillows and the mattress was covered by sewing the fabric as if it were a fitted sheet. This way it can easily be removed for cleaning or swapped out for a regular sheet if our daughter needs to sleep here. We cut the legs off an old table for the front legs of the daybed. We love reading on it and we are so pleaded with how it came out.
My wife saw your post for this shelf and knew it would be perfect for our half-bathroom. She showed it to me and I agreed. I built it in a few hours one afternoon. Stained and sealed a few days later and it fits perfectly. Now we just need to wait (impatiently) for everything to cure so we can actually begin to use it. We'll try and share another final photo when in full use.
I have built a number of Ana White projects and I just love this one. It was a COVID 19 self isolation project.
Thanks Ana!!

Ana, I love the back of these chairs with the seemingly floating armrests. What a clever and beautiful design!!

Hi JennB,
These chairs were built out of cedar and stained with Minwax Wood Stain - Ebony color. Due to the whole COVID 19 situation I wasn't able to get 1 x 10s so I used 1 x 6s for the seat and back. I think they turned out pretty great!
Made this for my dry closet. Super easy to construct and it works perfect. I just wish there was something similar to use for paper towels.
This is my first try at building furniture. I've built larger things in the past like decks and a fort for my nephews, but never furniture. Even though I used the plans to build the main box, I did change up the bottom and added some new stuff. I added wheels to the bottom my wife could easily move it around her classroom. I didn't want to put a square base on it because I thought it might hit her ankles when she was standing close to it. So I sort-of notched it out to give an opening for her feet and I used some scraps to create a short shelf at the bottom. I also added more trim that the plans call for. I cut strips of the pine plywood for the base molding and topped it with quarter round. I used corner trim for the front corners, the self inside and the bottom notched shelf. I also used screen trim for the back of it. I think it came out nice and I've very pleased with it. I used 2 coats of Minwax PolyShades American Chestnut on it.
My husband took oak from my grandma's farm from rough cut lumber to the finished product. We started with Crab and Fish's modification of the Hailey Platform Bed plan for a king sized bed, then modified the plan further to meet our needs. Our bedframe splits in half for moveability. We designed the headboard. I think our bed turned out amazing!
I made this design based on some pictures I'd seen online that I liked and the entry bench with drawers. There is one large large drawer for my kiddos to hide their stuff. The back is framed with 1x4s and 1x2s and the horizontal boards are 1/4" tongue and groove. I put lower hooks for the little ones to hang their stuff. I love how it turned out and it really helps contain clutter.
Used the Cyndi media console plans but changed the doors, and made 2 fold out doors in the middle that drop down for use as a shelf when your going through your dvd's. Used many screws & glue. Think I going to include a trim around the top later, to give it depth.
After finding Ana's plans on how to make these outdoor chairs we decided to give it ago one long weekend. The plans are easy to follow and the end result is the most comfortable chairs, we've spent hours relaxing in them. It took 4 hours to make two chairs and the rest of the weekend painting them. The only thing that I would have done differently is to paint the wood prior to assembling the chairs. My partner then decided to use the left over wood to make a matching table (not shown)

I hand made the cushions, had to dust off the sewing machine. The foam and the fabric were more expensive to buy than all the wood. We're going to make the two seater sofa next and I'm going to buy pre-made, it's not the same but we live in an isolated area with limited shopping..
I bought a piece of remnant silestone for the top. It was a pretty simple build but the hardware was the hardest part. Use wheels with bearings and 1/4" flat bar. Otherwise it was not moving smoothly. Love the finished product!
Modified with 1x6 for seat and seat-back. Need to purchase 4 - 8ft 1x6s for mod.

I built this project using driftwood I had collected from the beach and using the Gaby Kitchen Island plans. The only thing I altered from the plans was instead of putting in drawers I put up a hand towel rail using a driftwood stick.
This was a really good starter project! I loved building this and have gotten tons of compliments on it! I spent about 5 hours on it, from when I came home with the wood, until the paint was drying. Including a coffee break! Estimated cost for wood + paint was 300 SEK which is about 47 dollars with todays currency. I have written down more info on how I did it and more images on my blog post. Thanks Ana for this great design!

This is gorgeous! I love the white paint and how you used it at the bottom of the bed. I can't believe I didn't see this one sooner!
While staging my most recent flip house, I needed some accent tables for the living room. I picked up a butcherblock countertop at IKEA, then created two end tables and 1 coffee table. I loved Ana's simple design, and I thought it was a great balance to the warm butcherblock top. Thank you Ana for a great plan as always!

We had to shorten the length to 57" for this project to fit our space of 60", due to baseboards and shoe molding. It was just a few inches too large to fit through our doorway, which we also could have adjusted if we'd have thought ahead! I was worried that the 3 small baskets wouldn't fit with our plan but they fit perfectly, Especially if you push them back from the edge a bit.
Overall cost was around $120, the screws were around $20 b/c you have to get a box each of 2" and 3" length. We weren't able to get any "untreated" 4x4's at our Lowe's so we opted for the 2x4's sandwiched together- worked just fine.
Due to such a tight space, we only faced the front of the pedestal with the plywood, but I would have liked to do the whole thing- it would've made the molding much easier to square up!
I'm a much happier Homemaker with this in place! No more moving baskets around to open the dryer door! Thanks so much for sharing this with us, now onto the loft bed!
