I used these plans as inspiration and made some changes per my son's request. I made the base out of maple and changed the board dimensions to 1x2" I also used half lap joints instead of pocket hole screws (personal preference). The top is MDF and I edged plywood and MDF in Maple. Fun Project

Had to build this when I saw it. My coworker just had their first newborn baby boy and wanted hanging shelf's so I built one out of some scrap wood.
First of your plans I followed and already have two more projects on the go for different tables. Great plans and ideas!!!
Had a blast building this project. from printing the plan to first coatings of stain was roughly 10 -14 hours including 2 trips to HomeDepot. I opted to use the PineShop Laminated Pine Shelving / Project Wood It has a really great look when done, and as Im in Canada some prices where a little higher than i had hoped. when purchasing the laminated pine panels, i got 3 panels at 48 inch long by 16 wide (for the top bottom and shelf and 2 panels at 36 inch long by 16 inch wide for the sides. these are actually 16 inch wide so if you need to make them narrower run them through your table saw or have the home depot team trim them to the width you prefer or buy the narrower 12 inch panel . Again it was a blast to build, between the kreg screws needed and the panels and lumber and 1/4 plywood back panel and 3 centre mount drawer slides this project came in at $245 Canadian the Stain i used i have plenty of on hand, but if you don't have any on hand add $10 or $20 to your price
My daughter asked me for a shelf near her bunk bed to put books, glasses, pen, etc. on. I found this plan and made it that day. Self cost less than $15!! She loves it. It was super simple to do!
The plastic cover that came with the fan looked cheap and flimsy and really didn't fit in with the vintage style of my bathroom. I searched around to try and find something else that would work but was unsuccessful so I decided that I needed to make something myself.

Thanks lbrown, you just gave me an idea. We are painting our entire upstairs and hate those industrial looking air return vents. This would be a great replacement for them. Thanks for the inspiration.
this project turned out better than I hoped
I used these plans to build a toy chest for my daughter: https://www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/simple-modern-toy-box-lid
I skipped the lid and a few of the extra details, but I think it turned out alright! It was probably my second project ever, and my first at this size. Being so new to woodwork, I was unsure of a lot of my cuts, or even if I could find the proper pieces of wood at the store, but your plans helped me through a lot of it!

Twin farmhouse bed with trundle. Slightly modified to make foot board a bit taller.

Where can I locate plans for the trundle?
Thanks!
My son plays games while sitting on his bed, we love the farmhouse style, but for room sake and looks, making it this way turned out perfect. Took the basic layout added some thicker boards top and bottom and additional surface boards to give it depth. Since there was no footboard I built a free standing frame, and attached it to the headboard.

This is the perfect playroom bed for a boy! I'm looking to build two of them. Every other bed I've searched that is farmhouse style is boarded on three sides. I LOVE this playform style for the same reason you mentioned....they can sit all around on the bed and it's much easier for kids to change bed linens. I love the "chunkyness" and masculine appeal of this bed! You mentioned using thicker boards on the top. Would you mind shag what yo used? Also, what did you use to make your "feet" on the bottom? I would appreciate any tips
We loved the farmhouse table plan and the bench. We modified a bit to make it 6ft. We just loved how it turned out. We used cedar for the legs. We wanted something to contrast a bit. I didn't stain the legs just coated with poly.
Finally built my daughter a chair and she loves it
Thank you Ana for your work and making your plans available for free!
My table is based on your Big Kids Table, modified to use available free scrap wood.

I would like to know where did you get the instructions for the HUTCH on the Madeline changing table plan I can not find it on Ana Whites plans
We built this cart for my mom, and she loved it! Already having other people asking us to build one for them too. We're going to try and modify the design a little and make a cart for the kitchen, should be fun!

Great job! I was pondering whether to do this as my next project. It looks beautiful. What kind of hinges did you use?
This plan was a lot of fun!! I have been wanting a laundry sorter for some time now and this one fits in my laundry room perfectly!!
The pull out works awesome!!
I love Ana's farmhouse doll bed. But I've made a couple beds/cribs, and I know how tedious it can be to make the slats, so I cheated and used a 1x6 across the headboard instead of the slats and a 1x3 (turned lengthwise) for the footboard. :) It was a gift for my daughter's friend who is using it for a stuffed animal, so we made it more narrow as well. Details on the changed dimensions can be found on my blog.
I made this for our kids for Christmas. It was originally meant for their costumes but we loved the size, so we decided to use it for toys and a bench for meals at family gatherings. We're so happy with how it turned out!
