Kids Desk

I modified the plan to allow for wider shelves on the legs. I also made the width of the desk 22” instead of 24” to accommodate the size of the repurposed coffee table I used for the desktop.

This planter was made from all reclaimed woods from a door, book shelf, a pallet, and a fence that was being thrown away. I like to try to keep the landfill from overflowing by reducing as much waste as I can. Every piece of trash counts you know! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Reclaim! Me go eco....you go too!

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day! =)

I followed the project for the most part but did not want the dowels as it makes for less space for the giant Costco sized spices! my dimensions are 23 x 39. From start to finish it took about 5 hours but with 2 children learning how to do a project like this. We could have easily completed it in half that time. I will be adding onto it for the bottom soon to accommodate foils, bags, etc.

This bedside table is sooo easy to do. My husband and I made this table in about 1 1/2 hours. Of course, this doesnt include the time it took to paint and stain. When the cutting and nailing is done, so is my husband. Finishing the projects is up to me! lol Following the plan precisely makes this easy to build! The only thing we did differently is that we added an outside stretcher across the bottom front. I love love LOVE this table! I purchased the drawer pulls from Lowes on clearance for $1.19 each.
Made these for my nephews for Christmas. Only issue I had was the screws stuck out a little bit of the 1/2" pocket holes. I even tried the pan head type that were designed for the 1/2" holes.
Beautiful bed build. shared by Leslie.
Here is my step stool that I've wanted to make for quite some time, but didn't think I'd need it....until the other day when I couldn't reach something in my garage. This will give me just enough height to reach items in my taller cupboards in my kitchen as well. I think it turned out pretty cute. I cut out a stencil design with my Cricut and used black acrylic paint with a dry brush.
Tomorrow I will give it a light coat of poly just to protect my stencil work mainly.
I used 2x2's intead of 1x2s because I had lots of scraps of those lying around from other projects I've made off of Ana's website!
This bench was so easy to build! It's the first project that I've built completely with the nail gun. Wow does that speed up the process! Thanks again for the great plans, Ana!
Everyone gets projects from Ana-White plans for Christmas this year.
I can't wait to give them away.
This was incredibly easy to build for a semi-newbie! The shopping list and cut list were a huge help! We love Ana-White.com!!!
I worked on both the kitchen table, the dining table as well as the bench seat and all eight parson chairs together, so it took over a week to make this. I think if you were just doing the table you would be looking at a weekend project. Go hard or go home, unless you are home...
The kitchen table was just a case of shortening Ana's plan to about four feet. I made a quick and dirty table leaf to attach the two tables. For more info see my blog. There is also info on making those Parsons chairs too.

What color did you use for the stain and what was your finishing process?

Your table is absolutely beautiful! May I ask where you got your beautiful tableware??

Very nice! What kind of wood is that and would you mind sharing the stain color?

Love the idea and plan on borrowing it, but we were just curious how do you make the leaf that connects them?
Another question, when you made the breakfast table, did you cut the table top pieces to 48" or did you cut them 36" and made the whole table 4 ft with the end pieces added? Also, for the breakfast table, would it seat 6 people comfortably? Thanks and what a wonderful job!
We adapted the original barn beam ledge plans on a much larger scale to occupy the bare wall space above our couch. Each ledge was 5 feet in length.
I wanted an easy way for my girls to play with their legos and not have to fight over an area or who had the Lego bin. So I took the plans and tweaked them to have a cutout and storage area for legos. I built this by myself in two days. I had to wait till the kids were asleep since it was a Christmas present. All in all it took maybe 2 hours to build and another 2 for sanding and painting.

Great job! I love the space for separate builds and storage underneath.
I have just finished this project one thing I recommend is the pneumatic lifts for the lids they are 10 dollars a piece and make a huge difference
This is made from Pecan. Its the first dining room table I made. It is finished with Teak oil.
Table was a little tricky for me and the wood kept splitting and the legs didn't seem very sturdy. The wood I have isn't the straightest so that gave me some trouble. Changed the dimensions of the table to 24" x 36" and used a lodge pole pine board so the top is a solid piece instead of the 1x8's keep the junk from collecting between the slats. The chair was pretty easy to build and my kids just love it. Thinking I will paint the table and chairs a high gloss white so it is scrub able and look good in our house.

I lost my stackable chairs plan and I can't find it on your website now. Can you repost? Thanks!
We needed a couple of sturdy step stools for the bathrooms. My boys are not tall enough to reach the sink for hand washing and teeth brushing. Wally wanted $8 for a plastic thing. So I headed to the big orange store and bought a few 2X4's. $12 for both stools, plus the paint and screws which I already had.
I used the plans from the Skipper's Stool for some of my cuts. But I used 3-2X4 pieces for the top and shortened the legs to 10 inches. I was going to put on the side stretchers but it was super sturdy with the pocket holes and 2.5 inch pocket hole screws. So I left them off. A few coats of paint and they are good to go. Two of my boys can stand on one so that makes them a hit.

Fantastic Art Table!
Love everything about this table from the repurposed top to the color choice! Thanks for sharing.
