Simple Changing Table
Wanted to make our friends who were expecting a nice gift that would serve them for many years to come. Used a Kreg Jig (greatest tool ever for amateur carpenter or wood worker!!) for most of the joinery. Wanted it to have a bit of an older look to it.
Workbench console
We built this after getting a new tv. We love it.
4x4 Truss Harvest Table
I began with the plans for the 4x4 truss table and modified the plans to include notched joints to make the table stronger. Finished the 4x4 pine base with paint to match our dining chairs and finished the 2x10 top with 1 coat of dark walnut stain and 5 coats of verathane. Added hardware under the legs to level the table. This was my very first woodworking project and everyone says how well it turned out! Next is a headboard and then maybe a dresser. Thanks for these awesome resources!
Adirondack Chairs
I wanted to buy Adirondack for comfortable lounge chairs but they are so expensive! Came across these plans and it took a little bit of trial and error but they turned out great! Completed 6 chairs total and they are super comfortable and look great!

Numbered Cubby Desk Organizer
Here's my version of Ana's 'Numbered Cubbies on the Wall'. Mine is made from a 6' long 1/2" x 3" craft board and a 6' long 1" x 4". I followed Ana's plan, adjusting mine for a smaller size and proportion. I used a finish nailer with 1" nails. The numbers were drawn on with black Sharpie following Ana's method. First print out a 3" number in your choice of font, cut it out and tape to the cubby, press HARD to outline the number with a ball-point pen, then remove the stencil and fill in with paint or marker.
This is an easy and fun project. It's very versatile and cute and looks store bought and expensive.
Black and Brown Simple Outdoor Table
I built the simple outdoor table using a black frame and Brown boards on top.
We Did It! We Made The Farmhouse Table and Bench!
My sister and I made The Farmhouse Table and Bench (with pocket holes) for my daughter and son-in-love. She was so surprised, she cried! I think she loved it!! It was my first project and now I'm getting requests from my oldest daughter to make one for her after her closing the end of next month.
Thank you Ana White for sharing your plans and making it so easy to follow!
Family File System
I fell in love with this project when it was first posted...which was quite a while ago. I am so happy to have it hanging in my home making my life SO much easier! I modified it to fit the needs of my family and I LOVE it! Check out my blog for more details!

Plant Corner
This was my first piece of furniture to make all on my own and the Corner Cupboard plans were soooo helpful! I needed more space for plants and had already built shelves in every window of my house, so I decided it was time to make a larger space to house my plants and add supplemental lighting so I could put it anywhere I wanted. This corner was dark and I don't love lamp light, so I thought a pop of color + plants + daylight grow lights would be perfect for the space! I've been taking on more carpentry projects and also wanted something that was a bit more challenging. This plan was perfect! I'm more of a napkin planner myself, so it was nice having the structure provided in Ana's plans and the cut list was super helpful. I had to make some modifications to fit things into my car, but it all came together nicely! This being a plant hutch with grow lights was the plan all along, but I gotta tell ya, when it came to having to drill 3/4" holes in the back of my newly built beautiful hutch, it took me a minute to work up the courage! I really love how it all came together - thanks for sharing your plans, Ana!

Perfect solution!
Wonderful job, love the finish and multi functionality of the piece!
Train Table
I made this train table for my nieces for Christmas. They LOVED it!
I used pre-primed MDF boards and plywood. I skipped the bottom shelf since I knew it would never actually be used as a coffee table and cut half circles out of the top for access so that it wouldn't need hardware.
14' dining room table
followed Ana's plan to a T!! took 2 full days of cutting and assembling. Then stain and many, many coats of poly. 14 foot dining room table seats the entire family together!!
Office desk
This was a great experience. Thank you Ana White for all your hard work and great woodworking plans. This did take me a lot to build considering this was my first project ever but I am very happy and encouraged by this experience. Being a beginner I was not sure about the X support on the side so instead i customized it to my level of experience.
Hope you all enjoy it.

Wonderful Job!
This is the best modification I have seen thus far! Great work! :)
Mobile Kitchen Pantry
I made a version of the "DIY Rolling Pantry - Classy Clutter" project, but I sized my shelves differently than in the original photo. This is an easy starter project for just about anybody. It is full of counter-sunk butt joints and can be constructed in a single afternoon or evening.
We couldn't apply any finish because it is too damn cold.
The frame is 59"x26" to match the size of my fridge (minus the door). Add in the casters on the bottom and it matches my fridge perfectly.
Materials Used:
- 4, 1x4" select Pine boards
- 1, 4'x8' sheet of Red Oak plywood
- A bunch of 1 1/2" wood screws
- A bunch of nails

Thank you!
To be perfectly honest, other than some stuff in shop class in middle school and the quick work table in my garage, I hadn't done any woodworking in my life. I have the tools, but I never just sat down and did it. It was a learning experience. I can't wait for my next project.
Counter stools for our breakfast bar
I made these to use as counter stools for our breakfast bar. They're shown in the pics at our outdoor grill island but that's only until the finish dries completely. I built the set of three in "assembly line" fashion - in other worlds I built 12 leg assemblies, 3 seats, etc and then assembled it all. Total it took me around 8 -10 hours to build all three. My 11 year old daughter even helped. I taught her how to use the drill press and had her drill and countersink all of the pilot holes on the legs. I used pocket holes to attach the cross braces and the seats are attached with just wood glue. A pretty easy project and we ended up with a nice, simple set of counter stools.
American Girl doll house with stable and carport
Really good plans helped make these.
