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.

I had to convert Ana's plan into metric measurements using 90x35mm timber available in my local hardware shop. Painting was done pre-assembly and was the most time consuming part. It is not perfectly angled but am happy with the final result.

I had built your Farmhouse Potting Bench as a gift for my parents and they just recently finished it with a stain that coordinated with their deck and painting it with a pop of color that worked with some of their outdoor furniture.

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.

PS. Sorry, English is not my native language, but I hope you can understand my post. Blog link leads to russian language page.

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.

I think it looks good adjusted the size to suit worked out well for me. - Ecm

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.

Dad was an avid gardener. After he passed away we wanted to build something in memory of him for our garden. Thanks for the inspiration to build this potters bench.

This was my very first real DIY build project - and I loved every second of it! Ana has made me an addict and now I can't wait to get started on another great project she has provided to us here on the blog.

These ledges were incredibly easy to assemble. I painted them using the trim finish in our home so it looks like that have been here all along - love that!

Thank you Ana for the inspiration!!!

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.

This table is 78 in which is shorter than the plans. I think it turned out great!

Minwax 'dark walnut' supports and minwax 'natural' table and seats; Minwax helmsman polyurethane gloss. 45° angled all corners and quarter round routered all top edges. Countersank screws, and added a bolt here and there on the seat supports (because UNO is a full contact sport in our house...).

The table had 8 adults on it last weekend. Would be a tight squeeze for 8 to eat dinner, but visiting over sweet-tea was perfect.

Two adults on one side only is when the table wants to go opposite of gravity.

First project. Modified ends to be wider so that a chair can fit.

Put some trim on it.  My wife is a professional seamstress.  Thanks for the plans, cause I am not good at woodworking.
