Greenhouse
We made some modifications to the greenhouse to include a bench with three levels, a working bench and a square foot garden. We also put it on concrete to keep all the weeds out from the bottom as well.

Why not treat your furry best friend like part of the family with a high end custom dog crate. This is an easy way to hide those ugly wire crates while providing another table space. Also has a top that opens up for easy access cleaning. More pictures of my work is available at:

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!
After looking at some terribly overpriced particle board vanities, I found the lovely Rustic Farmhouse Double Bath Vanity plans and decided to go for it. I think this vanity turned out much better than anything I could have bought with the same amount of money, and it will last much longer too!! Thanks Ana!!

Absolutely stunning, thank you for sharing your beautiful createion!
Built a full size loft bed for my kids but wanted something safer than having them climb up and down a ladder so used the Camp Loft Bed plans to add the platform and stairs. It is much easier for the kids. Going to finish by covering the platform and stairs with carpet.

I really like how the platform is only half way so the stairs are inset, this is very smart and good use of space.
Shortened by 4". Changed all 1" to 2" and used 2x4 instead of 2x2! Used 2x6 for the seat. Used pocket holes and screws. Love them!
This is one of my favorite pieces because the white contrasts perfectly with the walnut hardwood. The base of the table is all standard 2x4 and 4x4s, and the tabletop is 100% walnut.

Would you be able to provide the dimensions of the top of the table? Also, how tall are the stools? Thank you!
I built this for my daughter after Christmas sinse she had the living room covered in toys. The dimensions are 37" x 18" x 20"

HI Anna,
Can you provide more pictures or instructions on how you assembled this toy box? i want to make one just like it!
Thanks!

Looking at the wall panels they look like the long edge of each panel has a small bevel cut on it. This gives each panel edge a more pronounced or well-defined edge? Is this true? Was it done with a router?
This project took a week to build. Working during my boys' nap time and late nights, I was able to complete everything in about 7 days. I used cedar, and sealed with Cabots Bleaching Oil. The cost of wood for the beds and stairs and drawers came to about $700. The extra cost came from the additional side rails on the top bunk and the stairs and drawers. Still comes in about $500 less than if bought commercially. The famiy loves the bed and as my kids are 2 and 3, I expect to get many years out of the bunk bed. Side note: I had to add quite a few brackets and angle joists to secure and minimize wobble due to the additional weight of the top bunk. (2 2x4s from the 4x4 to the side of the cleat and side rail of the bottom bunk, on the back side only, made a world of difference)
My Niece is 13 and into homemade hair bows, ribbons and jewelry. When I asked her mom what I could make for Colleen for her birthday? We settled upon three of Anna's $10 buck shelves and as a surprise a Jewelry cabinet with Elastic ribbons across front for her bows to be place on.
It was a big hit!
Thank you for your inspiration!
Best Regards,

Modified the design a bit to be lift up lids instead of tilt out.

Can you post the specific plans for the lift up trash and recycle bin??
Sun, 05/26/2019 - 18:28
If you could post the plans for this, It would be nice. Great job!

I just love this and would love to have the specific plans for this project!!!
Fri, 01/17/2020 - 20:23
Thank you for the great idea. I’m going to add a third bin and use it for laundry in my bedroom.

I’d be grateful for details, plans, measurements for this project. This is an amazing build, nicely done.With green top looks fantastic and complements the white very well.

To everyone asking for the plans, it's a modified tilt out. It states right there under the pics that it was modified and the original plans are there in red, under "Built from plans"
My husband made these fabulous tall planters based on your plans and video. We painted them the same color as the trim on our home. We live in Florida so instead of filling the entire planter with potting soil my husband put screening about 1/4 from the top so the plants can drain easily, especially in the rainy season. He made the planters with pressure treated wood which is perfect in south Florida.
Thank you so much for providing us with such a beautiful idea for unique and custom planters. My husband had a great time with this project and the results are just fabulous.

We are remodeling our 3 bedroom house into a 4 bedroom. In doing so, my youngest is getting the smaller room. We decided to go with a Murphy bed to allow more play time space. I do not particularly like the fact that this bed doesn’t sit off the ground but overall love the simplicity of making it. We turned it horizontal and just love the overall product. I can mot wait to make something else from this site!

Fatbike rack! Ten minute project for the beginner. Heavy enough to keep your bike standing upright even in windy conditions. Great if you are short on space.
(2) 14" treated 2x4
(2) 28" fence posts
(8) 3 1/2" outdoor screws
6" space between the fence posts
Alter width, if needed, for your bike tire.
No part of the bike hits the wood except the tire.'

Hi Ana!
My husband used your plans to build the 2x4 outdoor cedar sectional :) He did it in 1 day and it couldn't have been easier! He even tried first time working with pallets to make a small table and it came out perfectly too! Can't wait to enjoy family time on our new back porch.
Thanks Again & Love From Austin ❤️

Hi, your furniture is beautiful. May I ask: Where did you find your cushions? And what color/ brand stain did you use? Lovely job.
I began by first making 3 cubes of shoe shelves out of 3/4 oak plywood. After assembling I coated with joint compound and sanded smooth to get rid of grooves and grain. The hutch was assembled in 2 sections. I used a router to slide the shelves in so there were no screws visible. I applied primer/paint/ poly in these 5 large sections. The sections were then but in place in my mudroom and connected for installation. The bench top was custom measured to fit as the walls were not perfectly square. The bench top was stained/poly before the hutch was set into place. Paneling was attached to the back of the hutch unit before lifting in place. Barnwood was also installed where the hooks were attached for an added detail. I used 3/4 x 1/4 trim to finish the sides of the plywood and trimmed down mulion for the 1.5 inch sections needed for the bench trim and sides connecting to the wall to hide gaps left from un square walls.
I used red mahogany 225 minimax stain along with 3 coats of diamond wood finish I gave it a very quick sanding with 600 grit sand paper right before the last coat of the diamond finish and it came out silky smooth and the color really pops. I am just a beginner and I thought this project was gonna be quick and easy because I'm used to having to plain all my wood and get it all ready before putting it together I slapped this together in no time but finishing it without a spray gun after it was all together was a very lengthy process.
With the help of friends and family, we managed to build this greenhouse rather easily. We had to start with the foundation since the spot we chose was not an even grade. We did this by filling sono tubes with cement and leveling each off so the greenhouse would have a solid place to sit. We then built out a frame around the outside of the cement tubes with some reclaimed 6x6's. After that, we filled the space with 5 tons of river rock and then got to work! After the foundation was ready putting the rest of the house together was a piece of cake. The frame was so easy to put together. We had a few minor kinks to work out here and there, I won't say this house came out 100% perfectly, BUT I am so happy with the end results. We chose to paint it a deep green color as a final touch. So far we just moved a few potted plants from our deck to the greenhouse for the winter. It has been working very well to keep the plants cozy during the colder days we've had. Eventually, I plan to build a potting station, shelving, and most likely a garden bed for winter harvests.

The foundation looks great the greenhouse looks amazing! I'm sure fun was had building it too:) Thanks for sharing.
We used the shoe dresser instructions with some modifications to make it longer
This was born out of the need for more counter space in our galley kitchen. We don't have the space to add an island. Especially around the holidays, it would be great to have extra space for making cookies, serving big meals, etc. I used Ana's Small Kitchen Island Prep Cart plans for inspiration. I adapted the dimensions to fit at the end of our counters when not in use and added a drop leaf to give us almost 4 additional feet of butcher block counter top when we need it. I used scrap lumber that I had for the cabinet and had an extra drawer handle that matches our kitchen cabinets but bought the butcher block, locking casters, drawer slide and hardware for the legs. Also, the weight of the butcher block makes it want to tip when it's away from the cabinet with the drop leaf down so I added a lead counter weight inside the drawer.

I am so interested in doing this, but would like more details on how the drop leaf was constructed. Would it be possible to get more information?
In reply to I am so interested in doing… by haartd

Sure! I used a 4 foot butcher block and cut it down. The horizontal part is 13 1/2" and the drop leaf part is 32 1/8" attached with a piano hinge. The legs need to be cut and hinged to fit when folded up. This one is made so that the drop leaf fits right under the overhang of the kitchen countertop that it is next to so it's snug against the cabinet and not an issue but, if you want it to be freestanding, the weight of the butcher block will pull it over if you don't weight the cabinet down with something as well. I got a 5 pound lead bar from Amazon in case we need to use it somewhere else. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
i followed the instructions for the DIY Greenhouse and even though there are a few warts and freckles neither the wife nor the flowers are complaining
