Built this from the exact plans given. Very easy to build and learned a lot. Built whenever I had time after work 

We modified our plan by use a router on the edges and stenciling the top. We used pine. We left our wheels the original industrial metal .
**This is one sturdy table and easily serves as an ottoman with large groups .

This was my first project ever! I was very happy with the way it came out! I just did a little adjusting to get it the size I wanted =) Cushions for a decent price was very hard to find, I ended up going to walmart and I actually really like them.

It took me a while to complete as I have a little one (turned a yr the wknd I finished) and only worked at night and during naps!

This was an adaption of the Fancy X Farmhouse Table using 4x4s as the base. Please check out my blog article for more details. Thanks for looking!

My first project with raw wood and power tools! All I have is a circular saw and electric sander, but it went really well. It took about 3 days because I couldn't work straight through (silly life and all it's appointments!). Thanks for laying out all the prep work with your instructions, Ana!! My next project is a cubby shelf for towels.

This was a fun easy to do project that can be done in a day.

this was a super fun afternoon project! I used the specs for the Queen size headboard, and they were bang on. no modifications needed. i did reinforce with some screws from the back, as well as I used a 1x3 vertically in the centre of the back of the headboard, which i used to give extra stability to the horizontal pieces. i secured each horizontal board to it using 1" screws from the back, as my boards were not quite flush and I am a bit of a perfectionist! lol

This is my first ana white project and my first woodworking project. I think i like this new hobby i just picked up. 

We love our new coffee table! Thanks for the idea!!

I saw these beds featured in a Sherwin Williams paint mini magazine, fell in love w the idea, and customized them to work for my daughter's room. She loves them! Thx Ana White!!

Used the Clubhouse Plans as the base. Added length to the 2x4's for the second bunk. Made upper and lower railings. Used 2x4's between the legs with 2x2's screwed in for the lower bunk. Hobby Lobby for the nautical swag. So now me and the grandkids have a place to hide!

Gas pump cabinet with bookshelves.

I let my kindergartener  choose the color, so we have a pink sandbox! I live that this has a full lid, as the sand generated a lot of interest from our chickens! Plan egg followed as written, with a few minor detail changes, love it! Note, 320 pounds of sand was a just right amount for this sandbox!

I finally did it! I purchased mattresses for our two girls (2 & 4) which have been just sitting on the floor for a while. Wanting to build some simple frames just to get them off the floor I ran across Ana's site. Oh boy! This site is amazing! We have a small house with very little storage so when I saw the storage daybeds I was smitten! The extent of my power tool comfort zone is dimensional lumber and a compound miter saw. Not plywood and definitely not the table saw, so I was a little leery about starting this project. In the end, I tackled it and am so glad I did! Even used the circular saw! Full disclosure, there's probably nothing square about the thing (see additional photos), but like mulch in your garden, trim covers a multitude of sins! I learned a lot and will take my time measuring and squaring for the next one. Also, as some readers commented, I would prime and do at least one coat of paint prior to assembly (that part was definitely time consuming). I also wanted the storage to go all the way back to the wall so I didn't include the center piece of plywood but instead trimmed down a 2x4 to a ~2.5" width and glue/screwed in into the plywood at the top center under the top piece. So far so good! On the finish, I wanted a distressed finish and started using a dark walnut stain but did not like how much it adhered to the paint as well as the sanded down edges. When I picked my daughter up from pre-school that day they had been doing flower rub pictures. I saw that the centers of the black-eyed susan’s and cone flowers came out a beautiful brown color. So when I got home my daughter and I went out and cut some old flower stems and we finished the other two cubby cubes that way. I think it turned out really well! I didn't end up top coating it with anything, I liked the scuffed up paint look. A big THANK YOU to Ana for doing all this work so we can too!

After finishing the farmhouse queen bed, I was eager to start another project. I needed bedside tables and I came across plans for the mini farmhouse bedside tables. After the building the first one, the second one went much quicker. Very happy with the results :)

Thank you so much for the plans! Very excited for how it turned out!
