Did this project over the span of two weekends.

only tough part really was the X sides. Had to source from a friend.

Farmhouse Desk

Built desk for larger room but in hindsight should have shortened the length by about a foot. Great solid sturdy desk and easy to build.

For my son's 7th birthday, I promised him a new lofted bed. I poured over different designs, drooled over all of the different things I could make, worried about whether or not I could actually do it. Nothing in the market fit my requirements or my budget... I was determined to make this for my son.

Over the long weekend, this bed was constructed... a little "Loft Bed", a little "Claire", a little "Cabin" and a little inspired innovation and ta-da: The Fred-enstien Bed :)

Claire guardrails and bookshelf supports
Modified Claire Desk (work in progress)
Cabin Headboard
Custom built storage shelf stairs (he didn't want a ladder)

Next weekend will be touching up the paint and installing the remaining bookshelves

I was in mood for a while and made a few wall decor pieces this was one I put in my room

I made this extendable triple pedestal table based on Ana's orginal plans.  I had to "engineer" the extension system - which was fun - and it worked out nicely.  I also added a threaded rod through the pedestals (towards the top) to give added support in addition to the pegs through the centerboard.

Thanks for the inspiration and the plans, Ana!

Our very first project. Both Ana White projects. Loving it! Thank you so much for free plans!

I found the William Vanity on Pottery Barn and loved the look, just not the price. I recreated it with a top sink and a drawer for a fraction of the cost.

I made the locker cabinet and resized it to 80 inches to provide a little more locker height, and changed the depth to 16 inches. I haven't installed the last coat hook because I'd like to make a charging station on the top shelf using the outlet under the cabinet. Went really well!

This is my first project. It was very fun and quite a learning process. Thanks Ana for the great site and inspiring me to start a new phase in my life. I was missing a couple of shelf pins

This hall tree started life out as a pair of ceder pallets.

This isn't based on a plan but could easily have been modified from the single locker cabinet plan here on Ana White.

The whole thing was screwed and glued together using 7/8" drywall screws and Elmers all purpose white glue.

I have no money into this unit that wasn't already spent. I got the wood for free. The screws glue and misc. tools I already had laying around.

The lady that bought it from me intended to put coat hooks in it and use the space below for shoes.

Christmas gifts my wife and I have been working on. These are great projects Anna, thank you!!!

I had already bought these rolling & stackable baskets from Target for my 5 kids (http://tinyurl.com/72be9cn - 2.37 Cu. In., 10.75 " H x 16.38 " W x 20.0 " L) and I knew I wanted a countertop for sorting clothes. I thought I had an idea of shelves to put these on under the counter (which would have been attached to the wall) and somehow have a space for the litter box too, but then I found the "Laundry basket dresser" here. I was so excited because this was exactly what I was looking for.

I modified the plan first by making these countertop depth, then making the base of the cabinet (at the floor) not as deep and cutting a trim shape out of the side panels so the cabinet would slide all the way back against the wall without having to remove the trim. Then, I added a 1x2 on the left side of the left cabinet and the right side of the right cabinet with the same trim cut out so I could get it against the wall on either side. I didn't want to have these sitting with gaps at the back & sides like a freestanding cabinet, but I wanted it to look built-in. Finally, the counter could sit right on top against all 3 walls only screwed to the cabinets underneath without having to be attached to the walls. So, it's a freestanding cabinet with counter.

I attached the plans I used for building this. I was able to take this to Home Depot and have all the major cuts done before even bringing it home. Then it was easy to put together. I added the curtain to cover the area where my litter box goes between the two cabinets. It would also be an excellent place for a laundry hamper.

*NOTE: One thing I've noticed is many of these laundry basket dressers have their 1x2 (that holds the baskets) align with the front (on each side). I think it looks better to push back the 1x2 1" so it's not so noticeable from the front view. That's how I did mine.

I was super duper lucky and i had someone give me....yes give me 100 year old barn wood. I had been wanting a farmhouse table but couldn't afford the ones I had seen in PB or other stores. After i was given the barn wood, I came immediatly to Ana's site and found the plans. I could have made the table entirely out of the barnwood, but i wanted an old looking white base, so i bought pine 2x4's. It's all i ever wanted an then some!

Built for our cabin!
