We built and designed this as we went while working within the existing closet.

I found a picture of a mail organizer (URL below) on Ana's website and my wife really wanted one similar to it. So we took that idea, added some antique accessories to the side and name plate on the front.

Fun quick project!

I made the boxes a little wider than the plans called for but still came out great. I'm very happy. Thanks Ana for the inspiration.

Simple workbench using 2x4's and a 3/4" 24"x48" top and 2.5" screws.

Added an extra board to the bottom for more storage space. Actually built 2 of these to have a longer work station for the miter saw and to assist in ripping larger boards with my circular saw since I do not have space in my garage for a table saw.

This was my very first project. I wanted to jump right in and start with a Storage Farm House bed but my husband was convinced that I would start a project and just leave it hanging and insisted that I start with something smaller. He was sooo impressed with these stools! I originally had planned to upholster the top as in the plan but we preferred the look with out it! The plans were very easy to follow.

Pretty easy just followed the plans 

We made these chairs following easy instructions from AnaWhite!

My almost 3 year old son was getting really into playing pretend and would always bring me and my husband little toys and he would say "here's your pancakes I made you". So when I seen Grace's kitchen I knew I needed to make my boys one. I had limited time to work on it as I work full-time and it's winter here so the garage isnt the funnest place for them to hang out. It was so fun and easy (Thanks to your plans) to build and they love it! I made the burners out of wood with my jig saw as I couldn't find anything else I liked. The sink is just an old mixing bowl that fit perfectly. The faucet is from the Orange store and was only $10. I had the hardest time with hinges I initially went with the ones that Anna had done. I found that my littlest guy (1.5 years old) was having a hard time pulling the doors open though so I switched to regular hinges and a cheap magnetic closer. I saved the other hinges though so when he gets a bit older I can switch back. One of the best parts of my build is my husband bought me a ROUTER!

Needed something I could put together between work in a few weeks to serve thanksgiving on. The base of the table is modified from Ana's build and the table top is a frame I built and filled with log slices and clear epoxy resin

My husband and I bought our first house back in October and wanted to build a table so we could host Thanksgiving dinner at our new place. With the help of my dad and his collection of tools, we were able to use the farmhouse table plans from Ana-White which turned out nicely. We used a dark walnut stain and a couple coats of MInwax Helmsman Spur Urethane.

I saw a stand like this in a catalog for over $250 and knew I could build it instead for way less! I used the hinges so it collapses and both my daughter and I LOVE this stand :-) It is sturdy enough that my 4 yr old daughter and her 7 old brother can both be on it at the same time, wiggling and giggling.

We built this 8 foot long standing work table in trade for a friend. It turned out great! We had some scrap 2'x2' pieces of white maple plywood that we used for the top and framed them out with 1x3's. Then we made a simple base of 4x4s and 2x4s. It is a super simple table but it's so pretty!

I've been eyeing Rustoleum's new wood stain called "Willow" so I decided to give it a try for this project. It is sooo pretty. It lightens the wood almost like a white wash but it has this pearlescent quality to it and I'm swooning for it! Then we put 2 coats of satin poly over the top and legs. I prefer to use wax but he is using the table as a work surface and needed something a little stronger.

This was a fun project for me and my son. Total time was probably a weekend, including finish. I used Douglas Fur, and spent around $100 including finish and nails ect.

I made two. Somehow one turned out just a tad larger than the other. It works though, my kids are 2 and 9. Love all your plans. Thanks.

I wanted my kids to have more space in their shared room, but I did not want to pay a ton of money for a new bunk bed. My husband and I found a plan for this bunk on Ana-White and fell in love with the design. It turned out so great that we will still be using it in our next home whether it's needed or not. We did change a couple of things on the plan that we didn't care for. The first is that we added a side rail for safety. Secondly we also traded the 1x6 boards on the head and foot boards for 1x4s on the top but kept the 1x6s on the bottom.
