Greenhouse for extended growing.
Greenhouse for extended growing.
Quick build for the garden swing.
This was my first real woodworking project and was so much fun! I use my deck much more now and am excited to build more!
I went a little out of control on the week of the 4th of July - I set out to build a picnic table, 4 sling chairs, a deck and a playhouse - and I did!!!! I owe Ana a great debt of gratitude for these amazing plans and empowering me to do it! I built the picnic table and the sling chairs as I was waiting for primer and paint to dry on the frame, inside and outside of the house. For the shutters - I scrounged around the garage and found some leftover wainscoting, and put a leftover 1x2 on them. The door frame wasn't straight - so I added a piece of leftover trim from my daughters bed I built. My only next step is curtains for the windows. I even moved the full kitchen set I built the kids a few christmas's ago into their. They have only been playing with it for 2 days and I can't drag them out of it!!!
I made these for my 81 year-old Grandma, and I will be making some for my own front yard soon. I followed the plans and ripped the fence boards instead of buying the optional 1x2s. My awesome dad showed me how to use the table saw, but the rest I did all by myself! We decided to leave them unfinished for a natural look. It took me about 7 hours total broken up to make all three, but this is my first project and I was slow. Thanks Ana, for inspiring this working Mom to pick up a hammer and get stuff done!
I really liked the Large Wooden Dog crate but wanted the sides to be lower and wanted to make sure there was no easy chew escape. Not sure if you can see from the photo but the cats have taken over... Will need to make a larger one for the dog!
I followed the plan pretty much other than lowering the panel on the side and replacing the wooden bars with rebar. The rebar was a bit of a learning curve getting the holes lined up perfectly but I figured it out and I think it came out pretty good!
Used all pine 1x3 and 1x2s. Picked up a pine panel for the top and the bottom is a 3/4 plywood. Made our own chalk paint for the finish and sealed it with wax.
Oh, forgot, added tongue and groove pine for the back and finished it and the top with Antiguing wax.
Lots of fun and I think I will make a double one next!
We followed Ana's plans but went 1 ft taller on the pony walls to increase the height. We are so impressed with how it turned out. I'm excited to grow plants in Northwestern Ontario.

Fabulous home gym by Nailgun Nelly!
*Incorporated and modified the grand waterfall console plan
Hi
I am still working on my portico furnitures..but as we have changed the colour of our Home, I have decided to change the colour of sofa ( terrible decision) and than to build the adirondack chair for Home depot of Ana to be part of the ensemble.
Thanks Ana. I love it.
I used the same project just changing two small things ( a small support under the arms and making the arms more similar to the original adirondack chair. I used the oxydizing solution to paint and it is a great stuff!
ciao patty
p.s. I already posted the sofa is always Ana's project.
Turned the sandbox into a pirate ship. The kids love it!

We didn't paint it, but between two newbies, it only took an afternoon. It has freed up a ton of space in the cabinets!

My first Ana White project. Built Ana’s awesome small cedar shed as an outhouse for our many cats. The have access to it from inside the house. Great way to keep litter boxes and the mess out of the house. It is stand alone, and attached to the house, in front of a bedroom window. There are two ‘entrances’ as well as two, one-way, escape hatches, if a cat in the outhouse is interrupted by another cat (I.e. a male cat comes in and the female feels trapped) they can exit to the outside (one way so no critters can come inside!). Ana has easy to build plans, great site! I plan on making the square table just posted today for my newly refurbished deck. Keep in mind, my estimated costs and time reflect a LOT of additional features on the inside. The shed itself, very easy, simple, inexpensive. Very little waste with Ana’s projects as well.

Thank you for sharing, what a cool project!
I added a board on the height of the beds to make it easier for an older person (me!). The plan came together beautifully, and I did all the work myself.
I designed this desk from another desk I built. With this one, I wanted the overall foot-print smaller but still something that was able to organize all our office stuff and be able to close everything to keep it clutter-free. We have a small apartment, and although this desk is about the size of an up-right piano, it works perfectly into our living space!
I made it out of raw hardwood (Ash) and because I knew just the wood alone would make this desk heavy/bulky to move I made the top hutch removable. It's held in place by wood pegs (dominos). All the shelves are adjustable and the drawers are full-extension (something I've never had - wahoo)! The drop-down door is help up by 2 pull-out boards on each side (my first desk had chains). I spend a lot of money on this desk because I knew it was a chance in a lifetime to make and wanted it to be perfect and something that would last generations.
I built the main carcass off of plans/measurements I designed, but then all the insides, drawers, shelves, doors, etc where made as I built (because just a millimeter difference in building changes everything)!
If you want more pictures/descriptions of the building process I wrote about it in a 4-part series on my blog.

Hi there! I'm sorry but I don't have plans put together on it! I designed it in Google Sketchup and have some 'screen shots' I could send you for basic measurements if interested. You can e-mail me at [email protected]

Hi. Do you happen to still have those 'screen shots' or any other info/dimensions from this build? LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!
I was looking for a wooden parking garage plan for my little guy, but couldn't find one! I looked a bunch of the dollhouse plans for inspiration and found a wooden toy garage online that I based my plans on. I still need to add the ramps and a few more parking spots, but my son loves it! It has an elevator (need to refine it) and helicopter landing zone!

What a great idea. This would be a nice gift too. Nicely done.
I built this chair for my son's second birthday this last Saturday! Even though it is not perfect I'm super happy with the outcome. :-)
This project was fun to build with hubby said the shopping list and the cut list was perfect! Love all your designs! King bed is next!

Very well done, thank you for sharing your beautiful space and build!
I used these plans and modified the height to create functional countertop and shelving in my garage. I added a little face framing too. Thank you for the inspiration Ana!
Modifications to the simple outdoor table plan thanks to Finn’s dad.
Thanks for these plans! I was able to complete this planter in one afternoon.
We built this 3x10 feet raised garden bed.
