This was an easy build...until I got to the drawers. This was my first time building drawers and they took FOREVER to get right. I did not account for the extra width that the paint would add, so my drawers that once fit did not after I had it painted. Ended up sanding it all down and starting over. Now I know to put the slides on, then paint around them. I added height to the are with the baskets to accommodate their size as well as clear an outlet behind the dresser. The plans do not have the top cover the back panel, so I moved it back slightly to cover the edge. This made the front look too shallow, so I added 1/2 round to the upper edge.

We used the plans to create a basic bedframe.  I have used the farmhouse bed plans before and really liked the way this frame went together.  It is cheap, easy, and nicer than a metal frame. 

One of the adriondack chairs you have shared...made with wood scraps so it cost nothing only the time to make. It's comfortable and sturdy.....and I loved making it

These outdoor wooden coolers are a real treat to have at any BBQ, tailgating event, or get together! Available for order contact for details on shipping and prices.

I make and sell kids picnic tables on craigslist and a buyer asked about making one of these. I took it on and found the plans on here very easy! I now list these on craigslist also and hope to sell more before the summer is over.

I love this bed and it was really easy to build! 

A friend asked for a corner sink\stovetop cabinet for his tiny home . Made from sinker cypress.

This is the very first thing I've ever built! I would never have thought it could be so easy! Thanks so much Ana - your my hero!!!

This was my first project and I hit quite a few bumps along the way but I am super happy with how it turned out! I rounded the edges with a sander but otherwise went just followed the instructions exactly.

THRILLED with how this turned out. Functional and cute!

I always wanted to try building something and wanted to actually build some cabinets for the dining room to use basically for china and a buffet. I found the plans on here and went to town. I made the smaller cabinet first just to see if i can make it and well it worked fine. So I took the plan and made a second cabinet but made it slightly bigger because I decided to place the cabinets together and put them in our kitchen. It was also an anniversary present for the wife since we cant redo the kitchen and we need some more counter space I made these to fit under a window and replace a set of metal shelves. The doors I just made them no real plan just tried something and it worked. So happy wife, happy wife and I had a good time. As a firefighter/emt this is a nice get away from the stresses of my life and as long as the wife is happy then she will let me continue to work on this stuff. Thanks Ana for the plans I have a few more planned for the future.

I was in the process of making the fancy farmhouse x dining table to spec based on the plans provided. Then I came across a restoration Hardware table that had a similar base but a concrete top and decided to mimic the concrete top with plywood. 

I decided to make the camp loft bed into a bunk bed for the kids. The room is really small so I had to make it toddler length (about 62") and the stairs are only about 13.5" wide. It turned out great and the kids love it!

This bed was picked out by my daughter. Built straight from the plans and she loves it. Now if I can get her to pick a color.

I was in love with the West Elm slat collection but knew I could never afford it let alone live in a spot that would have the outdoor space for it. Luckily as fate would have it, I stumbled across the perfect townhouse with a huge rooftop patio in downtown Vancouver last year right at the same time I discovered Ana White - with no experience in this kind of project, but a love for DIY and alot of determination I'm proud to say I finally finished my dream patio set, and it looks even better than I could have imagined! Thanks Ana :)

One day I was considering buying a wine cabinet for a friend. However, once I did a little bit of research, I found that the cabinets that were reasonably priced, were made of low grade material. That is when I took to the internet and immediately searched Ana's site. I have been on the site in the past and hadn't made anything yet. Once, I found the plan on here to make it, I grabbed a little bit of graph paper and worked it to the proportions I needed and added a few extras. It took me a while to finish the project as I only had weekends and occasionally weeknights to work on it. Also, the staining and finishing obviously took some time.

P.S. This project allowed me to use a Kreg Jig for the first time. I can't believe that I haven't used one before and have since built a few other projects using it.
