Barn door slider with all 3 shelfs stained dark walnut with a white cabinet
I created this desk using the Fancy X Desk plans, but I used a project panel for top.
Just need to stain it.
I'm pretty impressed with myself, thanks for the plans!

Looks great. I am planning to build the same table, but wasn't sure what wood to use. I noticed you used pine. I am curious where did you find yours because at our big box stores the Pine is really expensive.

It's really just construction lumber. Construction lumber is usually cut out of pine as far as I know. The 2x4 and 2x6 boards are just plain old lumber. Just go through and look for straight ones.
The 1x6 boards were the tricky ones for me. Our Menards regional hardware/lumber store carries cedar also, but that is much different. If you just find the aisle with the 1xanything boards, that's what I used. They came in a 'standard' board and a 'Select' board, I used the standard boards; but you use these 1x6x8ft boards to make the table top and it's kind of difficult to find good, straight ones in the standard pile. If they aren't really straight you get gaps in your table top. But, the Select boards are like 4 times the cost $3 something versus $12 something per board, and you need 6 of them, so that adds up.
So you could just ask for the construction lumber when you get there and see if that works.
Also, I had to go back for one more 2x6x10ft board. The amount you are told to buy vs. the cut list didn't add up.

Right at the top of the page under her name and the date posted there is a little link that says "PDF Version". That's what I used.
For our 5th (Wood) Anniversary I built this A-Frame Wine Rack out of Eastern Red Cedar and Birch. I found the plans on an Australian Websiite so had to convert metric to sae (hardest part of the entire project). It was easy to do and took two days with drying time. If you would like the plans let me know.
Thanks for looking!

I just discovered your web site and I love it.
How do I order plans. I would like the plans for the A framed wine rack .
This project was quite easy and did not require many tools. The plan allowed me to adjust the measurements easily so it could fit in that space. I used regular 2x4’s and treated the wood with Mountain Ash colour in a semi-transparent stain from Sherwin Williams, I just love the colour! I build 2 - 2 seaters exactly the same. The one side has no arm, as I wanted it to look like a lounge chair. I love to sit in the corner and stretch my legs 😊. I bought the cushion covers from IKEA, and got good quality foam.
Found this plan and loved the look. Decided to go for it. I bought all the wood on a Saturday afternoon and started cutting it out on Sunday morning. I was able to get everything done with the exception of stain and poly in 1 day. The longest part was waiting for the polyurethane to dry completely before bringing it inside. Due to the size of this bed, it is best to bring it inside in multiple pieces and complete the final assembly in the room.
This is a fun project and made a great gift for my mom for Christmas last year. Inexpensive and didn't take long to complete. The pull is from Anthropologie (they have some of the cutest pulls!). Thanks Ana!

That is genious! I love the wood finish and the handle! Thanks for sharing.
Loved this table! Didn't want to spend a ton so I asked my husband to make it for me.....I love it. He did an awesome job. We traveled about 3 and a half hours to pick up the live edge top.
This is my first large wood project. I used pine and fastened the pieces with pocket holes and countersinking screws. I also used Elmer's stainable wood glue. I chose a dark cherry stain. I haven't coated it with polycrylic yet, but I plan to soon. Thank you Ana White for this amazing website. I'm going to buy your book for my siblings!
This was the first piece of furniture that I ever built! Plans were very helpful and easy to follow. If I had it to do overagain, I would have painted instead of staining (less sanding required).
Use white maple and maple ply with cedar for the sides and back of the drawers.
Built these two end tables from Ana's nightstand plans. Modified to add a shelf and drawers. I used stair treads to make the tops which give a nice thickness and strength. The shelves are cedar fence pickets. Shelf and tops are stained Jacobean with a semi gloss poly finish. Had to watch Ana's videos several times to get the build right, but spent much more time on the finish than the build. Added electric extension/usb outlet. Really happy with the project. THANKS Ana!

Project for my son. End tables with one and 2 drawers. Shelf and tops stained with poly, frames and drawer primed and painted. Tops made from Stair treads. they are 12" edge glued so just had to trim down and glue together. comes with one bullnose, rounded off the other sides with a 1/2inch roundover router bit.
First project using a kreg jig. It went well. Sanding was the worse part. If you are going to brace the legs you will need more wood than listed in the plans.
This was my first project from this site...and it will not be my last. thank you so much for all the hard work you put into these great plans.
Built a bunch of benches for Christmas/wedding gifts. It was fun to have them all finished in different colors and line them up for pictures.
Thanks for the plans. had fun building this. I made it a little higher and added an additional shelf. I wanted it to be rustic, so I beat it with a chain, hammer, and some screws. Used Early American stain. Used Rustoleum Triple Thick Poly satin finish. Not all straight and perfect, but it works. It matches the farmhouse table I built last year.
I have always been a fan of the Pottery Barn Rustic Bench. I have not always been a fan of the price tag. $149 for the small bench and $249 for the large bench was a bit more than I was comfortable spending on a piece of accent furniture. Luckily, Ana had building plans for the Pottery Barn bench. I built all three benches for around $60! You cannot beat that!
Our kids love this table. Everyone had to put their handprints on it!
I built this bed for my 12 year old daughter. We moved to a smaller house & we needed a way to maximize the use of space in her room. She's also visually impaired, which made the ladder option more dangerous. She could get up a ladder fine, but coming down was an issue. I was thrilled to find a plan with stairs, and I added a handrail for her to help guide her down the stairs. I also put a peel & stick zebra print border around it to tie it in with her bedding & curtains. The rope lights underneath added a cool touch & helped make that dark area more functional.
I love your designs and could spend hours browsing here! But that doesn't get things built! ;)
I used your general plan to build this cute bench as my first project for my new Handywoman Business
I was easily able to adjust and customize it to my customers specifications and it is very sturdy. Also my first adventure in pocket holes and I am in love!
Loved the farmhouse table plan, but didn't love the stretcher and stretcher supports. If you remove those, you have to find other ways to provide support, which I did by way of a stronger apron and the use of pockethole screws.
Also, I shortened the table. It's about 69 inches long, plenty of room for 6 people, and just right for our apartment dining room!
