Easy outdoor planter made from piece of scrap fencing.
I built these chairs last summer, they came out amazing! Everybody loves them! Thank you Ana. I also built the sofa for my sun room. Pictures to come.

My husband made 4 of these with some slight modifications like rounded arms and back.
However the best function he added were 2 wooden wheels he attached to the back legs, we now can move these chairs easily on our deck.
Our goal was to make them look like well worn beach chairs, we used milk paint for that effect. It still lets the grain show through.
Made this out of just 2 x 6 boards.
Take a deep breath in... then out. Relax as the warm water soothes your muscles. Then look at this freaking amazing end table I made! And this was only my third project ever! Great plans and easy to make.
***Only necessary change to plans was for the decorative Xs. The 2x2s must for the decorative Xs on the small version of the end table must be AT LEAST 25" not 22" as the plans call for. The 22" 2x2 did not reach diagonally (especially when making miter cuts).
I used pre-conditioner on the pine/douglas fir wood before applying the stain.
This bed was built using Ana White’s Haily plan. I used 2X10’s in place of the 2X 8’s. I chose not to build the headboard.
In addition to my brag post regarding DVD stand (posted here: http://ana-white.com/2012/09/simpliest-shelf-stand) I would like to suggest you the project of TVset and other multimedia stand.

Made a smaller version of the fire truck bed for our two boys. The youngest will move "downstairs" when he gets out of the crib. It was fun, but lots of work! It took me about 5 weeks of weekend/late evening work.
Thanks for the great plans and inspiration.
Executive office desk withmatching hutch. Hanging file drawers on the bottom and pull out paper trays included on the top drawers. Adjustable paper tray in the hutch. Custom gray washed finish
I used cedar and added the extra boards so the cushions would stay put. We also made the arms 2x6 boards so we wouldn’t need end tables for the couch. The plans were super easy to follow. I mostly used pocket holes so the screws wouldn’t be visible. Love how it came out! Thank you for the plans, Ana!!
Made this patio set out of old lumber from a deck we replaced. I saved a lot of the 2x10 joists. I ripped them all into 2x4s, then had to sand off 25 years of grime. Built two chairs and a loveseat. Just added additional seat support for the loveseat. Then stained them. Very happy with how they turned out. Was nice to be and to repurpose that old wood.
I made a simple queen platform bed from the Hailey plan by omitting the term pieces. See more details at my blog post.
Our old kitchen table was a bargain buy from a nearby outlet store and while I hate to say it...you get what you pay for. This was my second project ever so I was pretty nervous about building a table. My first project was storage daybeds for my girls. They were a lot more forgiving than a table. This project took me approximately 2 weeks of working off and on but only because I'm a bit of a perfectionist and finishing it drove nuts. But it's finished and I am in love! The plans for the rustic table were modified to make a shorter version to fit out kitchen. The bench plans were kept the same but the pesky cross supports were omitted due to lack of functionality and difficulty of cutting angles. End length on tabletop is 6ft. That's the perfect size for the bench to fit under.
Made this for the mud room. Been wanting a place to sit while we put our shoes on and take them off. This was a mod on the 63" version of the Fancy Farmhouse bench. I saw a mod similar to this but even more reinforced supports. I used Pocket holes for this first time with the project. from a distance you can't see the covered up screws on the top. I dunno if this was the best way but I wanted a solid connection for the bench and it's legs. instead of a bottom support beam I went with 20" diagonal 2x4's so we could put our shoes underneath the bench.
Just finished this console table for my granddaughter the angels on the cross piece were quite challenging.
This is the large modern porch swing, scaled down to 24" x 36" and made with 1x4 for the frame and 2x2 for the legs. It's put together with the Kreg jig, which I now use to build everything. I may add a photo of the bare bench, once the cat gets off it.

It looks wonderful! Cute kitty. Maybe you'll get a chance to sit on it eventually. ;)
I built this for my daughter to go under her loft bed at the time. It was my very first time upholstering anything before!
This 2 X 4 truss end table is a fun build. I'm going to make a pair and finish them with a farmhouse finish to use as night tables at the cottage!
Just began to build items after creating a workshop in my basement. Started with small planters and just built the large stand up planter pictured here. Ready to plant the Tomatoes!

This was a fun project and my daughter loves her bed. She is the envy of all of her friends.
Great quick project, but painting on the other hand was very time consuming. This bed has one cost of latex Kills and 3 costs of Sherwin Williams interior eggshell.
To make the bed fit between the wall and window i had to shrink the stair width.

Ah Mums!
I love fall! I think I'm going to have to make this for my Mom. Her yard should be in a magazine, it's that awesome.
