Rustic bench
Love this little bench! My bench is a little bigger than Ana's, and the seat is not as deep, but the plans were super easy to follow. It's just what I needed to finish out my living room!

I know that Ana says not to do this as your first project but I couldn't help myself! We needed shoe storage BAD!! This project was not bad but did take my husband and I about 3 weeks to build. It had nothing to do with the difficulty just scheduling conflicts. We needed somewhere to house all of my husbands shoes and something that would not take up much space because the only spot we had to put it in our bedroom was between the bathroom door and my husbands closet door. We used Ana's plan for the shoe dresser but did had to modify it to fit the 44" spot we had to work with. The 1x8's that we used were only 7 1/4 instead of 7 1/2 but my husbands size 12 shoes fit without a problem! I can't wait to start our next project! Thanks Ana!
This easy project made me the best Aunt ever! I made it for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. It was such a huge hit that one of them threw up all over it from laughing so hard. :)
The garage was freezing cold but they stayed there all evening once they discovered their gift.
Very Easy project, the plans are straight forward. The kids love having a table to play lego's and we love being able to hide everything away. Very Nice Table. When the girls get older and the Plywood cover shows signs of wear from much use, I'll probably replace the cover with one made from pine 1x6's biscuit-joined to give a nice textured look, but still with the storage for games and stuff.
This project was a Christmas present for my girlfriend. I modified these plans a little bit to put the open shelf in the middle and used the pallet wood for this instead of it being white. The pallet wood was such a pain to cut up in to usable strips but after cutting them down, gluing them up, and sanding them down (for ages) I couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out. I used Watco Danish in medium walnut for the finish and I think it brought out the imperfections in the wood beautifully. I just used some pre-made legs from Amazon instead of the base out of laziness.
My brother (the carpenter) hates pocket holes! So to get him to help me with your farmhouse bed no pocket hole bed plan was a dream come true! It took us a few weekends but it came out so awesome. I could never buy a bed of this quality anywhere without spending a fortune. Thanks Ana!

I took the design of the planter and stretched it to accomodate an "Earthbox" (which is 29 x 13.5x 11 inches) to see if I could boost the results of my little garden. Both planters were made the same size so that if I'd like, next season ,I can use two Earthboxes.
The bench was built to keep out bunnies, our Husky, give us a place to put down the bowl when picking from the garden and lastly to give Georgia a place to climb up and get a better view or help. It is made using some treated 2x6's for legs aand support and untreated 2x4's for the actual benchtop.
I'll add a protective finish (and missing trim on both ends) to the bench part later this week when I have some toddler free time at home :)
This was the first project for me and my 15 year old son. He wanted a large, sturdy desk for his room. We loved the plans and we think it turned out pretty well.

Thanks! We were not familiar with black stain so we gave it a shot. To me, black paint is another option to get the same look.
This was my first build from Ana White and my first piece of furniture. It is doable for a determined, handy beginner/ intermediate. I took my time and worked on it when I could, thanks to my wife for letting me take over the garage for several weekends and her great painting skills!
This was my first Ana White build, and I’m hooked. Super simple for a beginner to make.
Made this based on the Oliva's Doll Crib plans with changes to the shape of the top of the ends (to better match my daughter's crib), taller end pieces (about 2 inches), and a shelf under the drawer. To keep the drawer from falling out, I built the crib as usual, then turned the crib upside down, and screwed two rubber stoppers to the front of the underside of the crib bottom. I then put the drawer in place, placed the bottom shelf, and then screwd it in through the bottom (which is on top right now because the whole thing is upside down). I also put in some spacers so that the drawer doesn't get stuck, squished between the bottom of the crib and the shelf.

Can you tell me the measurements of wood you used? Piece by piece?

I really did just follow the plan that Anna made. The ends, the tallest solid pieces of wood that I added length to, are about 21 inches long. Ana had them at 18 or 19 inches long. Everything else was the same.
This is my third build based on the Kentwood Nightstand plan. Added a shelf this time to use as a charging station at night. Customized the height as well so matches the height of the bed.
I believe I found the orignal quick version on the Finding Aloha site with a link back to Ana's original Farmhouse Bed. I made the blanket and bedding from some cheap FQ's. It was a hit for my neice's 7th birthday.
My wife had me build this dresser for our baby boy. She took features from a couple different Ana White dressers and combined it into one. We also added to the height of the drawers, adjusting the overall height of the dresser to serve as a baby changing station.
Chevron table made with Knotty Alder inlay and pine frame.
Since I am in the middle of a divorce, my ex- took my dining room furniture. I decided instead of buying something new, or getting a hand me down, I would build a new table. The wood top was made of 3 wood planks from my sister in laws hardwood flooring leftovers. It was sooo fun to make this. The stain was a mix of Minwax Providence and Ebony 3 to 1 mix appx. I did not add the bottom wood piece, as I did not think it needed it, it is plenty strong without it. I am working on the bench and chairs now. This has been by far my most fulfilling project ever. Enjoy!

I think you came up with a great solution to your dining room problem. As a victim of the "ex furniture snatch" myself, I also decided to build my own instead of buying. It was quite the confidence boost! Love the table with the wider boards. I also didn't use a stretcher for my Farmhouse Table, and it's held up perfectly for over a year now.
In reply to Looks great! What size did by whitney_smith

The finished size is 36x 85x32 high. It may be about 1/2- 1 inch too high, but I custom made the bench for it and am repurposing some bar height swivel chairs to size as well. Thanks for the compliments

I am looking to do the same design with the larger boards in the middle. What size are the boards running vertically on the ends? 1 x 6?
A Farmhouse Media Console built from ana white's plans. This media console was built out of maple plywood and poplar for the face frame, doors, and top. The design at the bottom was a bit of a trick. I used a bucket for the half circle and a very thin piece of wood for the "wavy" design. The center door is known as a barrister door. I would be happy to answer any questions.

I made this dollhouse as a cute way to store my daughters Shopkins collection. It went together really quickly!
We had the mattresses and bed covers made !
We did increase the height to 20" which seemed to add a little extra space between the bunks. My daughter were able to help, she is 10. This was a nice and quick build !
Thanks Ana,
Jesper
