I built a slightly smaller version of the full sized dollhouse. I used MDF for the house with the roof and pine for the and windows.
I just built this chair but I think I will be adding a back support for a larger cushion. The stain is a semi translucent white with a touch of grey.

Congrats on a wonderful first project! Looks beautiful and very professional. And I love the inscription you did underneath. That is so sweet! :)

Welcome to the community. You did a beautiful job and I love the idea of the personalization underneath. Very sweet indeed.
Our master closet had been empty for a long time due to "analysis paralysis", couldn't decide what to do... until I saw this plan. My husband was gone for a week and I was able to surprise him with an almost finished closet when he got home! I stuck with closet rods instead of galvanized pipes because I knew that would be his preference. I love it! Now to build something for all our shoes...

Thank you and thanks for the plans!
Another amazing Ana White design! This was a hit with family and friends!
Enjoyed making the potting bench
Thanks for the plans.

Our first Ana white project! My husband and I are both really excited with the results. We plan on making the table too. I followed the plan and added comments/details/changes we made on my blog http://thehuth.blogspot.com/2012/09/diy-pottery-barn-bench.html I added pictures to follow along the steps from the tutorial.
Coffe table for our living room. Really fit our style. I had problem cutting the plywood but i turned out great. I love the colour: Varathane early american.
My daughter wanted to have a bed that she could consider her own. She always wanted a loft bed and that way still have room to do her art and a place to do her homework. While the camp bed was great I had to modify the plans in order to not only have it fit in her room, but also have enough space for her to sit at her desk underneath it.
This was my first major project, and it will always be a special one because it is my daughter's bed. She loves sleeping on her bed, and when her friends come over to visit they make sure to compliment her on it!! I'm very proud of it, and hopefully it will serve her when she goes to college, as I assembled it in such a way that it is modular to put together and take apart.
This was a modification to an Ana White design and another brag.
Designed on sketchup. It holds 4 laundry baskets sideways. Because I wanted it to be counter height I have a 6 inch shelf.
3/4 reconditioned plywood for the base assembled using Kreg pocket screws.
The top is a low cost pine 11.5 wide.
I jointed them using a 14 inch hand plane. First time for that. Cut the top to 22 inches wide.
Prestain conditioner. Minwax dark walnut stain and 6 coats of minwax poly wipe on.
Attached using Kreg screws.

This was my first project. It was relatively easy but I did make some mistakes that are now design features
Very cool plans! Lots of fun!!!
I'm pretty proud of my first project even though it does have some flaws. I learned a lot. I made every cut with a handsaw! Don't do this unless you want to have some seriously sore arms. I'm ready to graduate to a circular saw. I also used a hammer and nails instead of a nailer, so this project took me a little longer than it should have. Thanks so much, Ana, for the opportunities!

Using only hand tools? You did a great job. Ana offers great suggestions on what you need to start but here are my comments on some tools for Christmas or sooner:
Choose the miter saw over the circular saw. So much more useful and safer. For those times you need to cut sheet plywood invest in an inexpensive small circular saw. Lighter and easier to handle.
Orbital sander
Basic Kreg jig kit with drills , clamp etc.
Several lengths of pocket hole screws. You will use hundreds of them.
Square
Power drill
Clamps (Harbor Freight clamps are great and inexpensive) Get a lot of them and none less than 12" capacity. Miminum of six to start.
Eye and hearing protection
Titebond II or III glue

Thanks, Grandpa Jake. :) (I'm just going to call you that since so many of your projects are for your grandkids!) I was sorry to read about your problems today but glad you are so persistent. You weren't kidding when you said that checking for square is super important! I'm currently in the middle of my second project (the step up table, plans here on Ana White--actually done building but need to finish), and I took it apart/redid it twice to make sure it was square.
Thanks for building my Christmas list for me! I'm definitely itching for a fancy kreg jig, but I really need to get those clamps.
Super easy and done in 1/2 a day
The chairs were my first project ever and they came out great! I even made the ottoman/side table because the chairs looked so good. Ana, your plans were fantastic and easy for a beginner. I learned so much from this first project and I'm already working on another project from your site! The cushions were definitely the most expensive part of the chair.
