Great site and projects! I had to add glass doors after I thought I was finshed. Then it was strongly suggested to add doors to keep gglassware safe from our four cats.

This is a simple and fun project to make.  The black set are 3" x 1.5".  The xlarge pieces are 8" x 4".

This project was wonderfully easy to build and it is a sturdy step stool I feel will last for a long time.  I was able to build it very quickly, with minimal assistance. Painting and finishing adds to the time but it's beautiful.

My take on the Grandy Sliding Door Console. I adjusted the size to fit under our 70inch TV and used old wooden windows as my door. I also added wooden furniture feet. Approximate dimensions are 66LX38HX23D.

This was a fun project. We couldn't find the exact table that we wanted in the stores. I took the standard farm table on Ana's website and added 1/4 corner trim which finished off the edges nicely. I finished it with minwax cedar stain and we have been enjoying it ever since.

My first project using Ana-white drawings, and also my first project of furniture. I am really happy with the results ! Thanks Ana !

Created my own version out this plan. 

Very easy, looks great anywhere!

This was built from the rustic storage bed plans i just tweeked it a tiny bit

Love this bed plan and design! Spend Friday evening cutting wood (about an hour) and most of Saturday sanding, adding pocket holes and assembling. It looks HUGE when you put it in the room, my hubby was like....ummmm..... ;-) but once everything was put away its perfect. My 4 year old I think said "its so amazing mom" about a dozen times. She ASKED to sleep in. HA! Parent win.

I loved the look of the Planked Wood Sideboard, but it was waaay too big for my small dining room. I scaled the piece down, so it was proportionate to my room. I finished it dark knobs and a dark "IKEA" like finish. No one believes I built this from 2x4s and 2x6s!

I built this table for our kitchen.  Slightly modified the top for 3 - 2x8 and 2- 2x10 ripped down on each side to make the planks sit flush.  Breadboard ends are 2x10 to give more room on the ends and the stretcher supports are on the inside to give more room as well.  Notching was difficult, not the cleanest but they worked.

Final dimensions are 84.5 x 37 x 31

So I had a bunch of wood lying around so I tried the flower storage table and made two stools from Ana's plans with a few modifications. The plans were great though I didn't quite catch at first to miter my stool legs at 10 degrees BOTH ways on my miter saw. After putting them together the tops didn't sit flush or the legs so I had to take them apart and recut them or sand them down to the proper angle. I guess I was able to fix it easily enough though it would have taken me only a day or two to complete the project had I not made this mistake! I finished the table and stools with two coats each of Minwax Dark Mahogany stain and Fast Drying Satin Polyurethane. My little man LOVES it and it'll grow with him for quite a few more years I think. Thanks for such great plans Ana!! The table is a great size and it can handle two more stools so I think I'm going to get busy again! The whole project only cost me $25 for stain, polyurethane and screws. I was able to complete it without buying the expensive kreg jig and used the $15 mini kreg jig kit instead. 2" clamps were a must with the jig though to hold everything securely while drilling.

I decided on the Fillman Platform bed, for my daughter. It was a basic and simple style, the plans were well thought out, and the shopping list was a godsend. My daughter picked out a dark stain as well, which made the wood look really pretty. We broke up the platform and the headboard into two different days (so the stain would dry).

Love the bed!

We love the outcome! Took us a while to get the roof angles and glue everything together, but enjoyed the process.
