This was my first Ana White plan after lurking for awhile! I’ve dabbled with other DIY furniture and woodworking plans but this my first one for indoors that required some more meticulous finishing. Super happy with how it turned out!
My husband whipped this up in one day using Ana’s plan. This is my new favorite spot to relax.
These were inspired from a few different projects of Ana’s, great fun to build and have transformed our patio area
Quick build for the garden swing.
Your potting table is/was a hit and is used weekly with great love.

I used some flashings from Lee Valley to make these rustic tables really pop. The corners and the big brad nails really make them pop! These are also STURDY pieces of furniture as the Monster Husband has stood on them both without a wobble.

I know this post was awhile ago, but I am looking to create somthing similar. Where were you able to find a white oil based stain? I have called all of my local hardware stores and they all carry just water base? Did you put the dark mix stains on then, go over with white water base stain? Any clarification or assistance would be great! Thanks.
I started on the project when I went home for Thanksgiving and finished up the drawers when I was home for Christmas. I live about 7 hours from my family. I took a few tools with me (kreg jig and drill) but borrowed a circular saw and miter saw for all the cuts. It was difficult working on it because it was fairly cold and my dad only has a carport. Which is why it took longer. My step-mom says she wants to paint it maybe with some milk paint. She also did not want the center shelf as she wanted a place for taller items.
The butcher block top was $299. It comes from lumber liquidators in 25" by 96". My dad had about 2 feet cut off the length. Ikea also sells butcher block tops for roughly half the price I think, but they were out of stock in both Atlanta and Charlotte.
I also made the small kitchen island before and this one went much more smoothly. Having the extra set of hands was awesome and made for a wonderful memory as I built it with my father:-)

This is amazing Stephanie!!!! I can't believe I didn't see this sooner.
We are going to feature your photo with the plans - thank you so much for sharing a brag post! Hope you are well!
Fun project. Quite easy, but extremely sturdy. Gonna work great for kids.
The plan is great, I followed the instructions exactly. Then altered the plan to build a second rack that would fit the bottom of the door, with foil, saran and bag storage at the bottom. Consequently it was heavy and I was very skeptical of the hollow core door anchors, but I installed 3 at the top and 2 at the bottom of both pieces. It's very solid and secure....would probably have worked fine with even less. This door is only 32" wide but has plenty of room for this project. Thank you, looking forward to trying more of your plans.
Our family decided to raise chickens but needed a place to keep them safe at night. We used your shed plan and adapted it to create necessary venting for the chicks.
Since we had 16 chickens we knew one coop would not be enough space so we built two. We created a vented tunnel between the two coops so the hens could go back and forth between them as they wished while still being protected. The girls are very happy in their new space!
Thank you for your great plans.

Just finished this tonight. Decided to make it a little wider than the plans. Added bead board on the back. I also made the top shelf a little larger so I can come back later and add some LED lights on it. Because I made the top shelf bigger I wanted to add the angled supports. That’s why I didn’t do an “x” on the bottom so the shelf support would mimick the slanted piece in the bottom.
My wife and I are very happy with this piece. It was challenging but not too difficult. The plans were very easy to follow.

This was one of my first bigger builds. I am so happy with the way it turned out!

This bookcase wouldn't be out of place amongst the Pottery Barn's bookcases. In fact, it inspired me to go out this afternoon and buy some cedar boards so I can start building my own version first thing tomorrow. Thank you, Becky.
Our reclaimed beam wood tables are built of beautifully finished, solid reclaimed fir timbers from 50+ year old barns in the Fraser Valley.
With the arrival of our first baby in 10 days, the wife wanted a changing table. My only vision of a changing table was the ones in public restrooms. With the help of Google, I came across all the great diy ideas on this site. I combined 3 plans into 1 and came up with this. The project took 2 days to build. Next step is to prime and paint.

I live this changing table. I made the "Simple Changing Table" but would like to make this one. Are there plans for this one? Thanks!
This is the fourth time I have made these to give as gifts. They are just so cute, easy, inexpensive, and versatile. Now that the growing season is among us, Im sure Ill be making even more.
I am a beginner diy'er and this was one of my first projects. Also it was my first time using the Kreg jig and I loved it! My shelving system was around 8 feet tall, 12 feet wide and 30 inches deep. I added some extra cleats to support my deeper shelves (30") and also used thicker (5/8") plywood. This was a fun and easy project to do! Thanks so much!
Amazing what some basic lumber can make! Read the comments included with the instructions ... the 1 x 4 cut list was especially helpful. All told it was under $30 for a very comfortable sturdy Adi !! Some modifications I did for mine ... I used pocket screws to attach the seat slats and arm rests ... no splinters :) I found it easier to attache the middle back support loosely to the arm supports, then attach to the back slats in the correct position Paint was Clark & Kensington All-In-One from Ace in Fairfield Manor -- it's a beautiful watery green ... perfect!! Thanks Again Ana!!
This was a fun build. I let my daughter design the slats on the headboard, and as long as all slats are either 90 or 45 degrees, the cuts and application are simple. Thanks, Ana!
My 2nd ever build! Made to match farmhouse beginner coffee table. This is the smaller size posted. So Easy! Thank you for the plan and for the videos. I love them and am learning so much!
