2 Shelf Plant Stand
The foldable plant table with some modification to make it stationary instead! Freaking loved this challenge. Gave the 1st one away as a gift. Now selling one!

I wanted to do floating shelves in my bathroom but I have very limited space so I decided I was going to do floating shelves in a corner where I did have space. This is not going to be the only shelf, I will make another one to go above it. I was tired of having no storage space for things like toilet paper and towels so now we can use these floating shelves to do that for us :) Tomorrow I'm going to build the second one to go above this one. Making it for a corner is really no different than making it straight. The sleeve fit right over the frame I built and it looks beautiful I think :)
I'm still pretty new to woodworking so this cabinet took a little longer than it probably should have. I made the drawers a little deeper than the plans originally called for, which changed the height of the cabinet doors, but otherwise, all the other dimensions are the same. The laminated glass would have added another $100 to the cost so I used a chicken wire mesh that I dry brushed with the white I used on the interior. The knobs are from Anthropologie and I added a little trim piece around the top. I really love how much this cabinet holds. It is very versatile.

Thank you for the kind comments! I am excited to build another one of these for my mom.

love it! Did you have any issues getting the drawer in when the slides are installed? We installed the slides on the drawer box and then the slides on the case and we had to loosen some to actually get the drawer in, because the little wheels of the slides were basically blocking us from pivoting it in. Thanks!
We started this project with Ana's hanging outdoor bed frame, added a vintage door as a back/headboard, and some panels from an old barn shed as arms. Finished it off with some homemade pillows and outdoor mattress cover, and voila! Our family's new favourite spot to relax and read :)
This was the fourth plan we've used from the site, and every single time have been wowed by how easy it is to follow the plans, buy the material, and how well the projects come together. Thank you so much for your generosity in sharing them, Ana. We are so apprecitiative of your creativity, talent, and kindness.
Kindest Regards,

I am brand new at building but my big boys requested desks in their room for distance learning. One fell in love with the flip down wall art desk and this is our take on it. The other wanted a bigger surface, so we used an IKEA desk top and built our own brackets. The boys loved being part of the building. I put all the right angles together with a Kreg jig, and attached everything directly to studs in the wall (I don’t trust my boys not to be rough on them).
What do you think ? I painted mine to match the tiles as I didn't want it to stand out too much. It's a useful item for sure, but I wanted the mirror and wallpaper from @thepureedit to be the focal points.
But what a great little storage unit from scrap wood. - shabby.ie on Instagram
We wanted some tall planters and found some tall teak planters that we love, but one problem $820 on the Casual Country website. The ones online were angled but I couldn't get the angle right so I made mine straight.
The tallest one is 42" x 23" then 29" x 21" and the small one is 20" x 18".
They will look much better when I get something planted in them this spring.
Built the frame with 2"x2" cedar boards and used 4"x1" cedar boards for the planks.
Made mine exactly like the layout except I used an old piece of glass from a different project that didn't work out so well. This 1 turned out really nice. Going to make a couple end tables next with a hidden compartments in them next...
This is the 3rd wagon I've made. It makes an excellent 'heirloom' gift that you can personalize for each recipient that will last for years to come and can be handed down through generations. I decided to go with 5" wheels on my wagons.
Am a big fan of Ana's work, and have used several of her plans in prior builds including the more traditional Adirondack chairs. Those stayed with my old house, and I wanted something different for my new house. Really liked her Modern Adirondack design with the floating arm rest. However, plans are like recipes to me--a guideline. I wanted the back boards to run up and down, and I am a bit more robust than the lovely and petite Ms. White, so they would need to be wider after I built the first one at 19 1/2" wide per plan. The next three I made 22" wide and that worked well without throwing off the geometry and angles of the other parts. Since I ran the backboards up and down, I needed some cross beams for stability and to give an attachment point for the middle of the boards. Cut some 2x4s at 15" wide, drilled pocket holes in both ends, and attached in between the back supports with the pockets facing up to be hidden by the back boards. All of the 2x4s were leftover cut-offs from the houses being built in my neighborhood. Since the frames were free, I splurged and went with cedar boards for the backs and bottoms. With the wider frames, I had to use 1x12s ripped down to 10 3/4" to get the right look (about a board's width in between). Needed some color, so I painted the frames Teal Seaglass from Menards. Cedar was stained with a natural deck stain from Sherwin Williams. I experimented with salt paint (mixing unsanded grout with the paint) to give a heavily textured and weathered finish but this was unecessary--the wood was distressed enough and I am a terrible painter. It also toned down the color so I skipped that step and just went with 2 coats of plain paint. It looks like outdoor furniture should up close. As always, am pleased with Ana's plans. Thank you for doing all the hard work!

I absolutely love how the back was done!! Thank you so much for sharing!
40"x34" oak cookie. I tried some metal legs but couldn't get them wide enough to be stable at the requested 24" height, unless I had some custom made for $$$. I found these plans and changed the dimensions to fit the table and made the legs out of oak. Very pleased with the results.

I was looking for my next project for woodshop my junior year of high school. I happened to run into this website while looking for plans and found Ana's farmhouse queen bed and was inspired to make something similar. Now that I have accomplished this task, I want to share it with the community that inspired the build. Let me know what you think! Thanks.
Corner cabinet project based on Ana's plans and adjusted to my own decor and measurements.
These plans make it very simple to make.
This was the 2nd table I built. I made this one for my daughter. The table I built for my wife is 10 inches wider.
Finally decided to do this wall and I’m obsessed 😍 -Kaity
My fiance and I built this media console from Ana's plans to replace the UGLY black plastic/glass tv stand we had previously. It was pretty easy to do. The only thing I recommend is waiting to cut the doors after the box is put together. Our doors did not fit exactly and we had to cut them again to fit. I'm sure that our measurements were off somewhere along the way. We love the way this piece of furniture looks in our family room now, for about $150!!!

Awesome! I've been eyeing this plan for a while but couldn't decide if I wanted to paint or stain it. This is great, thanks for sharing!
Bunnings had cheap cedar lining boards so I grabbed a few packets and figured I would find something to do with them later.
After buying the Ana White book I fell in love with the hutch and console table combo. I thought this would look great with the cedar lining boards.
I love how this turned out.
I built this table for a client that found me through Pine and Main. I apologize for the images being in the wrong orientation. I tried to fix it without success.
Ana White's Plans were for 70" by 33" -- I changed dimensions to 60" long by 35" wide at the client's request. This table will be getting a lot of love in the client's kitchen and I didn't want the crumbs living in the cracks. All of the 2 x 6 were ripped to remove the rounded edges allowing for a smooth table top.
I have a passion for building thanks to Ana White and other bloggers like Jen Woodhouse and the Shanty 2 Chic sisters I am able to follow my dreams and I love.
I am both honored and proud to serve the local south Florida community through contacts established through Pine and Main.

I'm so happy to hear you are finding customers!!!
This is a beautiful table! Lucky customers!
Super easy to follow your plans. Had to modify a bit as lumber yard was out of 1x10s.
The potting bench I made for my brother. The console table/ desk is for my grandson.
