Rosie's Baby Doll Bed
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?

Answer to kad050209
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.
Bedside Table
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.

My version, cheater style
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.
Baby Boy Nursery Dresser
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.
Farmhouse Media Console
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.

Wall Mounted Doll House
I made this dollhouse as a cute way to store my daughters Shopkins collection. It went together really quickly!
Wanted to show off our version of your American Girls bunk bed!
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
Fall Console Table
Beautiful fall decor console table.
Double loft / desk combo with storage ladder
Our den is an awkward spot and we wanted to have a usable double bed as well as desk space for two people, but putting in two desks and a futon made it really cluttered and took up a lot of space, plus we were always having to move one of the desks in order to use the futon as a bed. So we combined all three items!
I changed the dimensions of the loft to accomodate the futon frame (I actually just dropped the futon bed support into the top of the loft) and then I used a long counter I already had as a desktop. The desk is sitting on large shelf brackets that are attached to the uprights of the loft, and then at the front there are shelves to hold up the front part of the desk.
It's ideal because most of the time we are not both working and so we can take advantage of the other person's space, but if we are both there there is enough room as well.
The plan I used below is awesome because everything is really firm but you can still take apart the key parts to get it out of the room. So I built it outside but put it together in the room itself.
We call it the sky bed and my friends love it. I also ditched the ladder and built the shelving unit you see that is both a ladder and shelves, and takes advantage of the shape of the room.
Bookcase with large drawer beneath for my son's nursery
I built a bookcase with a large drawer beneath for my son's nursery. This build was based on Ana's plans for the Cube Drawer Bench and Hutch, but I changed a few things to make it my own. This was my first real attempt at making any kind of furniture, or anything else, really, and I'm fairly happy with the way it turned out. More importantly, my wife loves it.
I learned a TON from all the resources on this website. Thanks Ana!

Looks Great
It looks really great! One question, how did you attach the hutch to the bench?

Thank you! I attached the
Thank you!
I attached the hutch to the drawer by drilling 4 pocket holes on the inside of the bookcase where the bottom meets the top of the drawer. I also used wood glue. I was concerned about the hutch moving around, and the possibility of it tipping over, so I decided to go ahead and build the two components as one piece, essentially.
Also, in order to add some additional strength and stability, I combined the frames on both components so that I would have vertical 1x2's going down the entire length of the backside of the piece. I also added horizontal 1x2's on the backside of each shelf. All these things combined really gave it a lot of extra strength.
Rhyan Coffee Table with painted drawers
Ended up skipping the drawer slides as I made the drawers too wide. Not as tricky a project as I expected, and we’re thrilled with result!

Finally I Finished My Bench
It is a great storage bench. It took me a while to finish it because I made the decision to make the storage area deeper to 4.5 inches without thinking about how that would change the side panels. So I had some adjusting to do. I took my medicine and moved on. I was going to use the bench in the garage to store tools but it came out so well that now I may find a place in the house. Great bench and very sturdy. I was going to paint it entirely black but the idea of the flip top being a different color hit me and I kinda like it. If I do it over I would go with black hinges, which I can still do.

Looks AWESOME! I did
Looks AWESOME! I did something similar with the wood on white, I just posted the build :) I am going to have to copy this though!!!
Rustic X Living Room Set (Console, End, Coffee Tables)
We made some minor changes to the overall finish from the plans for the coffee and end tables, I had a hard time matching the stain color, as well as omitting the hardware (I painted it but we never got around to attaching it).
We had a console table that we were replacing (we bought it when we first moved in and I've never been overly thrilled with how it looked in the room) and hubby did a GREAT job incorporting the fireplace from that unit into the console table.
Over all, a fun and inexpensive set of living room furniture. Can't wait for our next preoject!! We're planning an "X" inspired dinning room table for 10. I'll be sure to post pictures!

Apothecary Shoe Dresser
I have been planning to build the apothecary media console, but my desire for a new hall table and shoe storage won out. So...I transferred the look, and I love it! I wanted a vintage feel so I added legs, apothecary drawer fronts and knobs, a 2x10 top, and a distressed finish.

Desk for my little girl's room.
I was very excited to make this for my daughter. I made the tops and shelves from MDF. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying construction-grade 2 x 2s, instead of select pine, as I didn't know there was a difference at the time. DON'T do this! The select pine looks much better, with crisper edges and cleaner lines.
The assembly was a bit tricky on my own, but I managed to get it done. I really like the general looks of this desk, but I made a few mistakes along the way so I'm probably going to build another, without the mistakes.
