We had issues in Baby Goats' closet, which prompted a big closet re-do! Chose to use the plans for the Closet tower, and I LOVE it! You can read more about it here.
Fun project, ordered the hardware for the rail system itself and the wheels were too big so I made my own rail system.

Beautiful build. Looking forward to building one of my own.
Inspired by the designs from Ana White and Whitney from Shanty2Chic and so thankful for the clear instructions, I built this 4x4 Truss Beam dining table using locally sourced clear Douglas Fir. We are so pleased with the results!

This was a simple coat rack I decided to make with some random scraps of wood I had from previous projects. The only out of pocket costs for me was the hooks!
***update****
I decided to make a kid friendly version as my kids were creating quit the pile of courts and backpacks when they got home from school, mostly because they couldn't reach the adult one! With some left overs, problem solved!!

Exactly what I was looking to make without getting a router involved! What kind of moulding is that?
Surprisingly simple. We used 4x4s for the diagonal supports because I prefered the look.
My son loves his new cabin bed and now my girls are beggin for theirs. I used nuts and bolts to secure together for easy removal once he grows out of it.
We have been a subscriber of Ann White's YouTube channel for quite some time. With our kitchen remodel we needed an idea for our pantry. All I can say is thank you Ann White!

Way to go, thank you for sharing and posting your video!
I am completely redecorating my home, Out is the furniture that no one was allowed to sit on or go near. I wanted furniture that we could use. I have 2 boys so I wanted it casual, fun and durable. Loved the farmhouse style and loved this table. It is made from pine, sanded and stained on top. I used Minwax provincial stain. Bottom is painted with black furniture paint then distressed. We purchased the legs from Osborne Wood Products.
This was the first building project I completed by myself start to finish! I was able to use 2x4s we already had in the garage (sorry husband!) and some scrap wood for the few other pieces it required. The only thing I added to the plans was some trim for the front.
I built this last summer and since then the shelf on the very top has warped a bit. I would recommend adding extra support. It rains a lot here, and I think that contributed to it warping. Other than that, it has held up very well and the shelf can easily be fixed with some brackets.
Overall, this was a great first build for me! The plans were straightforward and easy to follow. And there's just nothing more rewarding than standing back at the end of a day of building and thinking, Hey I made that :)

Thank you!! I loved the red one in the plans and just had to have one of my own!
This is the table I made from your plans, but I changed up some of the dimensions and such to fit my needs...it turned out amazing and my wife, family and friends love it...I have been asked if I take orders, but my wife says no...I can only make one for her...lol
Outdoor coffee table with lift top. Modified the top slightly but went by the plans otherwise. Still need to paint/stain. A fun build and super functional!
The outdoor bench was my first Ana project. It was so easy and rewarding that I immediately set out to build the rest of the set!
See the before/after pic for the difference. My daughter was pulling everything off our open TV stand so it had to go! I designed this to give us the toy storage we need as well. The niche was over two feet deep so I wanted something to utilize all the space. I also wanted the fireplace to stand out so added the board and batten treatment.

Thanks! We just sold our house in under 48 hours and I think they helped. Thanks for all the great plans Ana!
The sectional is based from Anna’s design. The lounger was a combination of different design. I love Anna White designs. As a beginner in woodworking, I find her to be easy to follow.
Anna's (the one on the right) new activity table with rolling carts! Rolling drawers are made of 3/4" MDF with 2" casters underneath. The chalkboard frames (found here) were painted with satin finish pink paint, then two coats of glitter Mod Podge. I love how they turned out!!! We added a piece of 1/8" plexiglass to the top to protect it better. The flat top is made of MDF, sides and frame are made of pine and the legs are poplar. Two coats of primer, three coats of semi-gloss paint and three coats of poly. She is sooooo excited!!! Ana's estimate of $50-$100 on her website is fairly accurate depending on where you live, minus the plexiglass. So adding it all up... 3 - 2" x 2" x 8' stud/strips are $1.29 each at HD (total $3.87) 4 - 1" x 2" x 8' Radiata Pine boards are $4.82 at HD (total $19.28) 1 - 49" x 97" sheet 3/4" MDF was about $40 at HD (they rip cut it for me for free) 8 - 2" casters were about $2.50 each at HD (total $20) That's $83.15 plus tax and doesn't include all of the smaller extras like screws, glue, sandpaper, primer, paint and poly. I had most of those already... but it's items like that would easily push the total over $100. The little extras that I did were pricier poplar legs since I didn't like the look of 2x2 stud/strips and the custom sheet of plexiglass $35 at local plastics company. 2x2 studs/strips are fine, but after using them on my sawhorses and painting them, I wanted something more perfectly square (prettier?) for this table.
I wanted to make floating shelves. As I was making them, I got the idea to decorate them like books.
This is my first large project and I'm very happy with the result. Since I knew we were using regular (thick) mattresses instead of thin bunk-style mattresses, I built the guard rails taller than in the plans. The bunk beds are painted Benjamin Moore Citrus Orange http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/citrusorange. The walls are Benjamin Moore Waterfall http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/waterfall.
Helpful Hint: IKEA's LONSET slatted bed base fits perfectly instead of needing to cut your own bed slats. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80278715/#/30278732
I needed an outdoor table and thought this design would look lovely on my patio. I used 2x8's for the table and bench tops, which meant I couldn't run them through my 6" jointer; so I had to plane them as they came from the store. This resulted in a fair amount of sanding once I assembled the tops with a kreg jig and glue. Plugged the pocketholes and used an outdoor deck stain for protection. The stain over the plugged pocketholes looked interesting enough that I almost used those sides for the exposed tops, but ultimately decided on the cleaner finish. The 4x4 legs and apron are in a black matte exterior paint, and I used a 1 5/8" forstner bit for the umbrella holes. It's a fun project, and assembly doesn't take too long at all. My patio is now a great place for a morning cup of coffee while reading the paper and has already become the spot for neighborhood gatherings.
Built this Hall Tree for my daughter. Saw the Ana White project and found it to be the easiest, most clear plan by far. It turned out great!
