I built my new sofa!
I am so happy how it turned out. I had to translate all the instuctions in french, and modify the dimensions to adapt them to the lumbers I found in my country (France)
I had to change inches in centimeters too.
It was just a little difficult but I built it!!!
Thank you so much Ana, I am one of your fan.

First time I designed a piece of furniture.  Made out of pine.  Slat top and bottom with book shelves on both ends.  Joints held with glue and pocket screws.  Minwax pre-stain conditioner.  Two coats of Minwax Provincial stain.  Three coats of polyurethane.  

I just finished my first project with upholstery!  I built a bench following Ana's plans from a couple of 2x4s and used this gorgeous fabric from Minted.  Minted is November's sponsor for the Fab Furniture Flippin Contest.  The paint color is Behr's Island Aqua.  I used 3" thick upholstery foam (and WOW that stuff is super expensive).  I love diamond tufting and followed a tutorial from Addicted 2 Decorating.  

The bench is super compfy.  I love it and I love the bright cheery colors.  

Building a workbench seems to be a rite of passage for most serious woodworkers. The Entry Level Workbench shown here is a collaboration between myself and Kevin at Kev's Woodworks. I've detailed the design while Kevin and his son built the workbench as a father/son project.

All details including dimensions, parts list, tool list, and a full cost breakdown are included in the link if you would like to build your own bench.

Had to build something to go with our brand new OLED TV. Combined Ana's 'Grandy Sliding Door Console' with a modified version of these modern barn door plans found at https://howdoesshe.com/build-a-fixer-upper-style-modern-barn-door/ from @angelarosehome to make the finished product shown here. My wife loves it (the pup doesn't mind it either)! 

Used the frame portion of the plans and the window/door layout, skinned in plywood, then skinned in insulating foam board, carved and sculpted to look like stone. Then painted with a combo of 5 different colors. My daughter loves it. 

Love how this turned out! Great build, added a back to the table. It looks awesome in our living room.

We had so much fun making this sofa and chair for our daughter as a last minute Christmas gift. It went together quickly and we are so pleased with the end result. Thanks for sharing your plans just in time for a last minute gift. My daughter was so pleased!

I made these for my two nieces and soon to be born daughter for Xmas. I used 1" hobby foam for the mattress.

This is another one if your popular loft bed houses. Thanks very much for the plans! I changed a few things, but not as dramatic as others have done. Was a fun project and my daughter actually helped. One spur of the moment idea was to allow her to paint a mural on the backside so that in few years when she out grows it we'll be able to look back and remember how we built it together.

Modified slightly for increased height, slightly larger gap between shelves and more underneath clearance (for Roomba Vacuum).

Very easy to make, used Google Sketchup to calculate new angles for X's based on the modified size of the console.

Most time consuming part was repeated sanding and final poly-whey coats.

I built this a bit larger for a older child or adult. Measures 5'3 high by 5'10 long. This is my first Anna White project. I am a 44 year old woman who just last year never held a saw. I am finding my calling. I never knew how much I would love doing this!! I may also add, as my money is super tight, I made this completely from pallets. I don't have but a few tools, but found with a drill and miter saw that was the only tools that I needed.
