Turned leg farmhouse table
I built this table awhile ago and have been enjoying it with my family.
I used the husky farmhouse legs from Osborne Wood Products, painted them with APC mineral paint in Beach Glass and finished with MMS Hemp oil
The top, I used two project panels 6' long, finished in Minwax Dark Walnut stain and finished with clear, satin polyurethane.

The turquois legs give this a fun look! Nice Job!
Industrial wood closet system
Thanks Ana for this amazing project!
Storage bench
Saw the plans on the site and decided to make it. We had been looking for plans for a bench and my wife really liked this one.
Trunk Side Table
This was one fun project. I needed a functional side table next to my big chair. I took my inspiration from Ana White's Emerson changing table. I love the rustic planked look. Thanks for the inspiration!

Nice! I want to build a coffee table trunk that looks somewhat like this. Ana definitely is inspiring!
Rustic X Console
This was a great project! I didn't use the 2x6's for the top, as one wasn't quite straight. I used some pretty poplar I had in the basement and it worked beautifully. I wouldn't use poplar for a high-use project but this table top won't see much abuse. Used pocket holes to connect them and used finish nails and glue to attach to the apron. Minwax Provincial stain and wipe-on poly in gloss. 5 coats on the top and shelves. 3 on the rest. This is a really sturdy, beautiful piece. And so cheap! Took 2 weekends - a few hours here and there and time in between poly coats.
King Farmhouse BED
This is my DIY for a farmhouse bed. Inspired by Anna white and Pottery Barn. I wanted a sturdy look and used 4 x 4 posts and decided to make a king!

Outdoor sectional
This is built similar to the Reef sofa from Crate and Barrel. The Design Confidential had some plans, but I made my own. My 24" x24" cushions didn't fit their plans so I modified to fit. Plus the base and frame are modified a good bit. Also, I've built a swing too that matches. I'm loving it...and so are the fur babies.
Folding lap desk
This is my first project that I’ve done entirely by myself and I’m so happy with how it turned out. These plans were great! The only thing I did differently was make the legs 1/2 an inch longer and I stained the table instead of personalising. I made this for my mum and she loves it, thank you for these awesome plans ❤️ This only took me an afternoon to build and then just going back and puttying the screws and staining the table was done over a few days. The wood cost around $30 and I already had the putty and stain at home. It would cost more to make if you had to buy the stain and putty.

Range Hood Cover
I have a very ugly, plain old range hood that needed to go. It's not in my budget to get a custom range hood or to buy and insert. So, I decided to cover up the existing one. Turned out great IMHO :) For details and a step by step tutorial including cut list for my project, click over to my blog. Thanks for looking!!
Lofted Kids Bed
I took the Fire Station plans and the Little Cottage plan and came up with this for my grandson. He wanted a slide so I came up with that on my owe
Cabinets for games and piano books!
I’ve been following Ana for almost a decade and this was my first build. I loved this design plan so much I made two versions in a week! It was easy to modify the dimensions for both to accommodate the baseboard heating behind the double cabinet. I wanted a flush alignment along the wall. I love how it turned out! I definitely learned from my mistakes and the second one came out much better than the first. I made both cabinets from one 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. So cost effective!!

APOTHECARY COFFEE TABLE WITH TRUNDLE
My version of the APOTHECARY COFFEE TABLE WITH TRUNDLE, I decided to add a back for added strength and support. It's solid as a rock. I also went back and sanded down the edges after painting and added stain as well as stained directly over the painted panels for a more weathered look. This is my first project from ana-white.com, hopefully there will be more to come.

Priming/Sanding/Painting
Beautiful!! Great job. It looks like you assembled the table before priming, painting, and staining. True??
Flag storage
This is just a simple flag storage for smaller items like jewelry. The frame is 1×4, the stripes are 1×2 and the field of stars is made from 1×12.
84' patio sofa
Wanting nice seating for the patio, I could not afford the sofa I wanted from Restoration Hardware. Since I have more interest and willingness than money, I looked on-line for a DIY design. Fortunately, I found Ana's site and her plan. I lengthened her sofa design to fit the RH cushions and went to work. Thank you Ana for easy to follow plans, especially thanks for the cutting & shopping lists! I had your plan by my side during the entire process. Now, I'm ready to build a footrest bench to place in front of it. (I did order the RH cushions... on sale, but still expensive!) I am 71 years old.... you never have to stop becoming, it is a choice!

Farmhouse table
We were so excited to stumble across your plans on Pinterest for this farmhouse table. We literally seen the same table for 1600.00 on Wayfair's website. We can not wait to tackle another one for outdoors. Thank you.
Coffee Station
An anniversary present for my wife. She loves it!
Patio Seating
Patio Seating I decided on.. Went with the same concept i did as before with the pallet storage table bench, just on a larger scale. Added the back and complete.. Probably should of done 6 supports for the back since its a solid 10 foot bench. Its completely stable but most defiantly would recommend 6 vs 5. I did do the lid in 5 foot sections to make easier for taking on and off.
Loft bed with platform
Modified a plan to fit 200x90cm mattress and added platform with steps from another Ana's plan. Also added LED strip light under mattress base and under the platform. We leave that on at night so it's safer if he would wake up at night :)
In the future I'm planning to build a desk with drawers and a bookcase to fit under the bed.
Thank you Ana, my son loves it :)
2016 update :)
Finally added drawers (from Ana's plan) desk and shelfs. added four cool white LED lights over the desk.
Thank you again for your plans!
