Been loving our Ana White plans!! The table and shelves turned out exactly how we wanted them to & they were SO much cheaper than paying for lesser quality furniture store finds. We’ve received so many compliments!
Here is my version of the modern farmhouse end table and coffee table. I used a 4/4 slab of live edge red oak for the tops and put a drawer in each end table.

I originally wanted the Hudson Dresser from Pottery Barn but I wanted it a little more feminine. I also really liked the Madison Dresser plans posted on this website so I combined the two and this is what I got. It took me a weekend to build and a week to stain (a layer of stain after work a day). I got the drawer pulls from World Market and I got the bunn feet on ebay. I'm overall very pleased with it.

Nice job! It's gorgeous. What are the dimensions? (just curious).
So my son needed a bunk bed and we came upon the sweet pea bed. It was too girly for him so we decided to go with a theme that would be timeless, something he wouldn't mind having when he is 18 (or older, he is 10 now). What is better than Mario! (We are a house full of gamers, my 17 year old is super jealous of this bed lol). The build was fairly easy and the plans were straight forward enough, the time consuming part was the painting (without all the painting we could have probably build this in a long weekend). We changed a few things, like not arching the top windows, adding the 4 inch 2x4 squares to the top to give the castle look and stairs are made to look like stairs from the side so we stepped out the banister instead of angling it.

This is the coolest bed I have ever seen! I wish I could make this for my youngest. I could probably build it, but I 'm pretty sure it would go downhill when I started painting it. You did an amazing job and your son is a very lucky boy!

You can totally do it! I am a horrible painter (I'm too impatient) and you can't tell with this because of how forgiving the design ends up being. There is so much going on it's hard to pinpoint the mistakes. :)

Super creative. I can't think of a word to say just how cool this is! Wow!
Wed, 01/01/2014 - 06:58
That is the most spectacular bed I've ever seen. I have a 5 year old son. :) You are a genius.

Thanks so much! This was the first thing we ever built (although my husband did a lot of building stuff in his youth we have never done anything together and I was a total beginner) so we are very happy with it. :D I appreciate all the kind words.
Wed, 01/01/2014 - 18:27
Wow! I'm super impressed, your version is awesome! The stairs are very cool- well done!

This looks amazing! :o The kid version of myself would adore this. (haha no the adult version would too)

We are super excited to build this for our 9 year old son. To make this a Full size bed am I correct in thinking that I only need to alter the side panels by adding 15inches? I am paranoid about building it and the mattress not fitting. Thanks so much!
Child sized table. Used a 24" project-style top (all-in-one), 1x2s for the supports, and 2x2s for the legs.
Modern outdoor chairs and loveseat with a slightly modified loveseat for my husband who insisted on having a backrest.
A friend needed an entry table, so I went with the Cheap and Easy Console plan and found the baskets at Ross. I modified to include lower shelf and did a single board top because I was trying to avoid buying more wood.
Men come in crates - who knew?
My crate is a gift for a friend, to be filled with manly foodstuffs, but in the mean time, the little 'un loved trying it out.
I didn't follow the plans rigidly, but I absolutely loved the idea and was inspired by all the great photos on this site. Mine looks the same from above and below, but the front and back side slats are attached to the lid while the left and right ones are attached to the box. Also, everything uses the same 18mm ply (what I had available!) which means you can easily lift it using the side slats, but lift the lid off with the front and back slats.
Enjoyed this project - will more than likely make others in the future. Maybe even spend a bit of time on the finish next time - the 'rough 'n' ready' look works well enough for this kind of project though, so it plays to my strengths!

Your man crate looks great! You can definitely say your little guy has "man tested" it as well! (super cute pictures with him, by the way) The idea of using the top side trims for handles is super! Thanks for sharing this build! :)

Ana sized her plan for 2-6 year olds, but a friend asked me to build this for her 9-year-old granddaughter as an art table that would live outside, on their covered patio. I made the table top 28x48, and set the top at 28 inches off the ground. The bookcase part is 42 inches tall, in keeping with the "rule of thirds."
In light of the larger size, I decided the legs needed some braces, so I added a cross brace at the bottom and some curvy side braces.
I considered adding some cupboard doors to keep the dust out, but decided to leave it open so it wouldn't become a haven for spiders. Doors don't really keep dust out anyway, the way the wind blows around here.
As shown, the birch ply top has natural stain on it. I'm going to finish the top with spar varnish. For the rest, I'm going to primer it, and deliver it with a few pint cans of water-based outdoor paint in basic colors so the girl can paint the rest of it herself.
Thank you, Ana, for another enjoyable project!
Added some storage to the garage. Wife got some more room for her canning. Looks much better than older metal shelving. Thanks for the ideas, again!

I designed and built this canopy bed without knowing Ana had already done a toddler canopy bed! Talk about reinventing the wheel. I should have known she already had plans up. ;)
Full plans are on my site, but I thought I'd add this as a brag post instead of a project plan since Ana's plans are already here. They're different, but the end result is very similar!
Our extra long living/dining room was just begging for a little definition. So I scoured all of Ana White's plans for some inspiration for the perfect-for-us table. I have never built anything, so I enlisted the help of my genius dad and we got to work!
We ended up using elements of the Modern Outdoor Patio Table and the Farmhouse Table. We sized the patio table down to six feet long and used the board layout from the farmhouse table for the table top. We also changed up the table legs a bit to add some visual interest.
After tackling the table, we built the banquette and beadboard wall. I never thought I would learn so much about power tools. Ha! This project was so much fun. Thank you for the free plans!! I can't wait to work on our next project!

The fabulous thing about DIY is how you can modify a plan to suit your needs. You and your dad have built a one-of-a-kind that can be handed down to future generations. Love the style and finish. Keep up the good work!

can you share the cut list and measurements for your beautiful TABLE?
BIG STEVE
Followed the plans exactly and all worked out perfectly. I designed my own ladder and rails. Kids love this bed. Took about 1 gallon of valspare 2000 paint to paint everything.
Built this toy grill for my nephews first birthday. Went together without many hiccups. I will say these plans seemed less detailed than other Ana White plans I have worked on...but for the better I guess, as it forced me to figure somethings out on my own. I opted to add the drawer behind the grill plate, like the blogger who also made this grill did. Kept the same color scheme as well. Pretty proud of how it turned out.
My hubby and I took the weekend to remove the loft and twin bed that was squeezed underneath it to give our boys more space in and around their beds. Thanks for the idea Ana, we like wood, but we also like color so the beds where stained two colors one for the frame and one for the slats. The boys chose red and blue, and green and black. We decided to hang the beds with chain from a stud in the ceiling. They were so exicited to sleep in their new beds that i believe bedtime will be much easier! Thanks Ana
This was such a fun project. I had been shopping for a corner cabinet for months before I decided I either couldn't afford what I liked and didn't like what I could afford. So I built it! I added the top doors... I didn't need one more thing to dust.
My mom moved into an apartment and had a bar that needed some bar stools so I made two of these bar stools that she loves.
I made this stroller to donate to a charity fundraiser. I'm very pleased with how it turned out! I routered the edges with a small round over bit, which I think makes it a bit safer for little ones. I attached the 1x2's of the handle 3" above the stroller bottom, which gives it a height similar to other doll strollers. I also decide to change the way the wheels were attached. In the picture, the wheels are attached as the plan shows. I decided I would use (2) 3/8" metal rods as axles, washers for spacers, and an axle cap on each end. This works really well, and the axle caps look nicer than the painted bolts. Unfortunately, I donated the stroller without taking updated pictures!

I could draw you plans...
If you are OK with waiting a few days, I could draw you plans based off of the images.

Here are plans for you.
I modified the design slightly, by adding feet and a 1x4 board accent (that makes it easier to build). I'm assuming the overall height is 29.5" and the length is 48". If you want these to be different, feel free to reach out to me and I can help you adjust.
