Weekend project worked out well. Also made the tall bar stools also found on Ana White! Topped with a granite countertop. In the middle, I went with a double trash can sliding cabinet.
I needed a workbench and Ana's easy plans were perfect for what I needed. I have a small one-car garage that I do my projects out of. The garage also provides storage for bikes, kayaks, gardening tools, etc. I customized the dimensions a little, making the bench only 30" deep to better fit the space available, and to add wheels to be able to roll the bench out into the driveway if needed. The lower shelf provides some good storage for me as well.
Floating shelves, used the plans Ana had with a few adjustments. - Sheila
I bought a desk and chair for my daughter on Craigslist awhile back, but it did not include a hutch. I decided to add one and recently completed it...in addition to painting the desk a fresh white and then repairing the chair, painting it, and recovering the seat!
The hutch build was pretty straight forward and I used a Kreg Jig to assemble most of it. I built it to sit on the desk (not attached) but I included a cleat at the top to screw a couple of 3" screws into the wall studs to keep it in its place. It's nice and sturdy. I plan to add some puck lights under the bottom shelf soon.
The Lego house isn't quite up to Momplex standards :)
Great little shelf for a kids room. Love it.
Ana, Thank you so much for the plans for yoru Christmas Tree Shelf. My niece is a huge fan of the Christmas all year round and now that she has her own place it was a perfect fit. I edited the bottom area so it woudl be able to sit on a table, she is currently in an apartment and does not want to attach much to the walls. Added the boards in the back of the two compartments so it can later be hung, and also predrilled holes in the shelf bottoms in order to crew in eye hooks to hang ornaments from if she likes.

Easy to follow plans and make adjustments with materials I already had lying around. Love them! Thanks for the plans Ana!

Great, job. Absolutely love the finish choice and greenery! Thanks for sharing:)
Stuck to the plan as described, but I used my Kreg jig to use pocket holes where I could. I used 1x4s for the shelves and joined them together with pocket holes. This made it much stronger. Without joining these boards, the shelves are kind of flimsy, not sure how much weight they could support without some type of support system. I added an extra 2x4 to the top, this made it overhang about an inch on the front and back. I used 20" drawer glides. Also, I notched out the side supports for the 1x4 shelves 3/4" so the shelves sit flush with the side supports.

Just had someone build this for me, I'm wondering what paint color is on the bottom of yours? It looks great with the stain you chose!

Great table! I'm currently building a similar kitchen island and was debating going the cheaper route of utilizing 2x4s instead of making a butchers block. How did the wood filler between the boards work out for you as a flat surface? Has it cracked at all? Thanks in advance!
Last week I picked up a few pallets while I was at Ace and made these cute stands with some of the wood today. I spray painted a few cans and threw some flowers in them and have a beautiful centerpiece for my Farmhouse table! I built both of these in about 10 minutes.

This is a farmtable that i made from your plans, along with the bench also made from your plans. Turned out pretty good, worked on it mostly on the weekends. Christmas present for my son and daughter-in-law. Your website is full of great ideas and plans, thank you.

Made it a bit wider, added a shelf and wheels.
