We built Ana’s outdoor sectional in a few hours and it’s made a huge impact on our deck! It saved us so much money but looks like a high end piece! Thank you for the simple and structured plans!

Thank you for this plan! We did a few alterations like the soft close shaker doors. We painted with Navy Blue paint mixed with BBFrosch chalk mix. Love this so much! John + Jina

Really pretty, love the finish choice and soft close doors are so nice! Thanks for sharing.
Simple x bench followed the plans posted below except I shortened it to fit our old table.
Modified slightly to include just two legs and excluded the decorative pieces for a more streamined look.
I started this project by using the mini Farmhouse side tables plan. I added my own herringbone detail on the top that turned out pretty cool. I finished with Italian brass hardware and put a sleek satin Old Masters finish over the whole thing. It's a lovely piece that I really enjoy.
A few alterations to plans….thanks for the inspiration!
I needed some new chairs for my kids play room as the ones that came with a table they received as a gift were cheap and I had reinforced them three different times.
I liked the simple design of them and the cost is right! Mine were a little more as I used 2x2's for the legs and made the body of the chair double-braced as my boys are hard on things!!
My boys picked the colors, which the blue was left over from a room and the red from my older son's desk!
This was a Christmas gift for my youngest grandniece. The doll crib is made from the Fancy Doll Crib plans, slightly modified to be taller and longer. The high chair is made according to plan, except I substituted a 1" x 6" board for the back.
Still need to stain but this was my very first project and it turned out well! The directions are very easy to follow and I am very happy with it!
So...we are 6 people in a 3 bedroom house. We needed more room! Thanks for the inspiration Ana. I think these beds turned out GREAT. And the girls love them!!!

Love what you came up with, plus extra storage! Thanks for sharing.
I made these for my two nieces and soon to be born daughter for Xmas. I used 1" hobby foam for the mattress.

Thanks, I hope so too!! Maybe next year I'll make your bunk beds for them!!
I used Ana's sawhorse plans and painted the sawhorses black. I made up a plan for the desk top inspired by some of the farmhouse table plans. The top looks very thick and chunky, but is mostly made from cheap 1x6 boards put together with glue and pocket holes. The ends of the top are made from 2x2 boards attached with pocket holes. The sides are from 1x2 boards - all attached with glue and pocket holes.
For the finish I used a water based stain from General Finishes - Black Cherry. I started with one coat of poly-acrylic and did not like the look. I sanded it back and bit (distressing the edges a bit) and put on two coats of wax.
Made a round top 61" from 2x6 ripped to 5" wide so I deviated slightly for a wider bottom (42") and top (58") base. Used the cross pattern instead of the decorative supports. Thanks for the inspiration!
looking to whitewash whole thing or gray stain bottom and dark stained top.
I built this for my little girl for Christmas. I think it is one of the cutest $20 presents I have ever gotten her.
Thanks to my sister in law who made the bedding. I also placed felt squares on each corner to make sliding the drawer out of the wood floor a breeze.

What a lucky little girl to have a momma (or dad??) who can build her such a cute gift. Great job.

Sorry it took me so long to get back with you. I got the plans on Ana-white.com all I did was search for doll furniture.
I started with the doll farmhouse bed. Someone made a super cute version as a dog bed- and I loved it as a mini sofa...

Hi Brad- so sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I saw that you'd left a message, and I haven't had a chance to get back into the shed to check- The seat is only about 5 inches off the ground, and the backrest is about 17 inches.
I hope that helps!
I love this table! On cool winter mornings we fill it with warm water. The built in umbrella stand will be essential once the Texas sun comes out.
Hopefully it buys me some free time to finish some projects!
I already have lots of requests to build more of these for friends and family. I have some edits in mind to make it a little faster and easier next time.
Many thanks to Ana and all the contributers for all the inspiration and tips!
Pretty blue painted finish on simple bed
Farmhouse style doll beds modified width one less slat.
When I first saw this project I thought it might make a great looking table for our dining room - however after seemingly endless frustration with the 2x10s (and also 2x4s I tried after giving up on the 2x10s) badly warping I eventually gave up and bought a couple of pre-glued pine board panels to use as the table top. I had my heart set on a nice flat dining table and the construction boards just weren't working for that. The base was still made from basic pine 2x4s as per the original plan however.
I shortened the table by about 2 feet so it would actually fit in our dining room, removed the inner angled boards because getting the angles right after shortening the table was being a pain, and added a couple of support boards that run lengthwise under the table top since it's thinner than originally planned.
This project seriously took me about 2 years to make, between all of the re-starts and so on.
Tools used include circular saw, belt sander, orbital sander, router, power drill with pocket hole jig.
Not counting wasted materials, this project probably cost me about $120 between the lumber, the hardware,the stain, the finish, etc.
After all that work and hair-pulling though, in the end my wife says she loves it, so I guess that's all that matters :)
My wife's cousin builtthis table using your plans and we loved it. I wanted a lager table, so I made a few modification. The table top is 5 8 ft 2x10's. I love the finished product. More importantly, my wife loves it! Thanks for the plans!
