Great design, easy to follow!

We saw this table here on Ana-White and loved it so much that we decided to take a shot at it. We have done smaller projects with wood before but nothing like this. In all honesty, it was super easy and fun!

Modified lounger, made from 75mm x 38mm (cls) timber, sealed with 3 coats of exterior varnish.

Had great fun making this one, already on with making my second lounger.

This was my first attempt at doing a project with a drawer. It definitely took time to make sure everything was level so that the drawer would side in and out smoothly. You can't see see it in these pictures but I used bead board in place of the plywood on the back and on the sides. I also used 1x8s glued and screwed together instead of the 3/4" plywood. I can't take credit for the finish on the project though. My wife is the one in charge of making my projects look great. She's the one that did the fun antiqued finish on the side table.

I built this for my little brothers living room because he desperatly needed something for his tv to sit on beside his safe (he has a true bachelor pad) i used the plans for the tryde media console and the finish on it was done with a torch. I put 2 coats of clear satin poly. The project too about 6 hours to complete. i love how it turned out !

I did a 15" deep x 36 wall cabinet over the drawers and the rest of the uppers are 12deep x 42"

Lowers are standard 24" deep

Still deciding on countertops

Decided on pour in place concrete for the counter tops

Summer lessons, had my 10 year old and 13 year old build. It was their first project and they did all the work. Great designs and easy to follow. We will do more this summer from Ana White.

I used the Lydia Toddle Bed plans and made the adjustments to be a twin size bed.

I used pallet wood for the head and foot boards and followed Jenny's Hinged Footboard plans at http://www.birdsandsoap.blogspot.com/ with a few modifications for stability so this can withstand my dogs' constant wrestling matches! The balance of the lumber was all house construction leftovers so all I bought were hinges and barrel bolts. I adore ALL the storage! I am in love with this site because it gets you "going" and then your imagination can take over and let you customize. Thank you Anna and Jenny! See my blog for a step by step.

Square Dining Room Table

My first project! it took me longer than it should have but I had never used a jig saw or hinges before. The kids were 2&3 (now 3&4) and they LOVE them!

Thanks to Ana Whites plans, I made this beautiful wall table for our entrance way. My daughter said it looked like it was from Ashley furniture store! Haha! So she made me put an Ashley furniture tag on it! She also helped me and this project.

This is a very simple project. It measures 8' x 8' and is 11" high. I simply used eight 2" x 6" treated pine boards and one 8' 4" x 4" treated pine post. I used an 11" 4 x 4 cross member in each corner and an 11" 4 x 4 in the center to connect the 2 x 6's. I used 2 coats of a water based natural cedar deck stain as a finish. I connected everything using 3 inch deck screws.

I took these plans (http://ana-white.com/2012/01/plans/hailey-platform-bed) and adjusted the size for a king size bed. I beefed up the sides with 2x10's instead of 2x6's and extended the trim to 1x4's instead of 1x3's.

Easy project to build. I added a full board to make chair 4in wider. I also counter sank all screws and used wood plugs to cover screws. I also used 1x4's for all the slats and arm rests. Didn't use 1x3's at all. I added cup holders with some scrap left over wood. Got some plastic cup holder inserts.
