I made a few modifications.
I used shiplap instead of tongue and groove, raised the footboard by adding an extra 2 x 6 & used jacobean stain.
Thanks Ana for putting the plans and video on your site.
We had an empty area at the bottom of our stairs that was just calling for a hall tree. I love watching and learning from Anna's videos. I really liked 2 of her plans: the Farmhouse Hall Tree and the Mudroom Bench with Easy Drawers. I decided to combine them to make my own unique hall tree. Our teenage daughter used the "window panes" in the back to paint a Japanese Maple tree. I think it turned out beautifully. This is the first of Anna's plans that I've used, but I plan to use many more! Thank you, Anna for your amazing videos and desire to share your knowledge. We appreciate it so much!

Yes that is glass on the table top. Don't have to stress about spills with my two small kids
What a great project! This is my first Ana White project and definitely won't be my last!
I modified the garage plans to fit our basement. We have two beams the shelves needed to fit between, so I made the length 10' and bought 2x4s at 10'. Otherwise, I didn't do any modifications.
The wood was cut at the store for the lengths needed, making it super easy to come home and assemble! We secured the shelves to the basement supports and along the back wall. It's pretty secure and stable.
Overall this probably took a few hours (we took a break while constructing it). Next time I would make the shelves a bit deeper. 17" was fine, but a few more inches would have made the bins fit a bit better.
I am looking forward to making more!
Had a small bench that the previous owners of our house left. It was all made from 1x. Wanted something a little beefier to match the bed I built. So came up with this bench. Made from all pine.
I kind of came up with this on my own. I used 1 x 3 furring strips for the legs and stops for the shelves. I used 1 x 8 for the shelves. I wanted a semi distressed look so I painted white and then painted the blue very messy making sure I missed certain areas.
I loved making this Ana White's Narrow Cottage End Table plan after seeing it here on a search. I made it for my mother's 83rd birthday. She asked for oak and a light stain (Rust Oleum's Summer Oak Stain). Used three coats of wipe on Poly and one coat of Johnson's paste wax on the top. I bought the blue knob at Cost Plus World Market. The project took me two days. Will difinitely make another one but in pine this time.
Built this table and bench for my wife. She wanted to host Thanksgiving dinner and needed a bigger table. I used the 96” plan, building the bench first and the table second. 3 coats of Danish oil dark walnut, and 2 coats of poly. I get a lot of compliments about this table. The bench is remarkably comfortable and sturdy. And yes, my wife was very pleased, plus I finished on time for dinner.

Thank you. The set up gratitude goes to my wife. She inspires me to complete these builds. And thank you to Ana White for these awesome build plans. I’m running out of house for all the builds so far.
This was my first project, so it took me a while to make since I had to figure out what I was doing. But, it was so much fun and I'm excited to make more!
I designed and built these beds with the help of my husband and daughter. We spent about $350 on the materials and about 4 days in the Texas heat to build it. My kiddos absolutely love them, especially my 7yr. old. His is the loft bed with a ladder system and a bookshelf, and area to play underneath. The bunk bed is for my 18yr. old and my 14yr. old, so it had to be extra sturdy. We built everything out of 2x6s except the bookshelf. It was built from 1x12s and plywood.
We made this storage bed for our teenage daughter. She helped! She picked out the stain, comforter, and went through different plans with me to make it her own. She learned how to use a miter saw, sander, etc. and it was a great bonding experience. It's a few different plans, and we had to make modifications, but it is immensely better quality than store bought furniture we purchased a few years ago (it's falling apart!) and it has sentimental value. We are proud of the furniture, but even more proud of our daughter. :-)
Made our own twist on the leaning ladder shelf. Turn the side boards of the selves around, causing the shelves to looks like thick boards.
6 years into a complete rebuild of a neglected old farm house built in just 1948. Your website was found after looking for 'Modern Farmhouse' stair rails. The look plays off the original brick chimney stack & the Woodstove it serves. It has turned out to be quite the focal point, which was never it's purpose. Thanks for the inspiration!
This was a super easy and quick project. I actually lengthened it to 36 inches. I can't decide whether I need two ledges or not, but it won't take long if I need another one! My only suggestion- VERY straight boards are a must!
I bought two sets of Restoration Hardware cushions on clearance and they worked out great. I had to adjust the measurements a little bit but that went pretty quickly. I came up with a plan for the tables to match the couches.
The tables are both 30x30. This way I can use them as 2 tables, one large table, ottomans or seating.
I LOVE the cushions. They are 6.5 inches thick and were dry 3 hrs after a rainstorm. There was no way I could have sewn something cheaper.
Thanks for the plans Ana!
One of the most rewarding, yet frustrating projects done to date.
A project completed over the course of several weeks challenging the limited tool set available.
In the end, the cost of new tools and frustration of assembly was all worth it!
Girls table was too small, especially when they have friends over. We have a little nook that this will slide right into in the living/dining room. The bottom has drawers, they just were not completed when i took the pictures.
My first indoor furniture project - the Rustic X coffee table. I added a lift top to store remotes etc and use as a laptop table. Fairly easy build I only had trouble aligning the "x's". I used of the shelf dimensional lumber but I might try this one again using different wood and a lighter finish.

Thank you for sharing, this is gorgeous and functional!
I built a smaller version..THank you so much Ana for the plan. This one is only 2 ft tall and 22.5 inches wide..Perfect size for my 2 year old.
I added a hook to hang my daughter's doodle and on the other side, I added an aluminum tin(wrapped in a scrapbook paper sealed with mod podge) so she can put her magnetic letters/numbers on there. Added this little crayon holder as well. :-)
