From these plans: http://ana-white.com/2013/05/plans/toy-or-tv-armoire

For my quilting business, I needed an office for the paperwork, etc. that comes with running a business. With no spare room for an office, I built this armoire to hold my computer, business papers, and the bags that contain my quilting samples, forms, etc.

On the inside, I used pegboard for the backing so the electrical equipment would have ventilation. I also thought I might be able to hang stuff from the pegboard as well. If I had to do it again, I would set up the keyboard slide and side drawers a little differently. I used scrap wood for that part. I should have just gotten another piece of 3/4 inch plywood and fixed it right, with pocket holes. I'd intended to put drawer pulls on the drawers, but the doors hit the drawers when they close. So, I will need to cut some holes in the drawers to use as pulls.

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.

In getting my boys (ages 8, 5, and 3) started in woodworking, I decided to try this bench. We had a ton of fun building it together.

As you can see, I beefed it up a lot - using 4x4's for legs and recessing the frame into the legs themselves. The boys did all of the sanding and assembling and 80-90% of the cutting. I was just there as training wheels. It took much longer to build with the 4 of us than if I had done it myself. I estimate I could have done this in 3-4 hours. Group effort made it about 20-22 hours.

My 5 year old was the one who campaigned for the arched backrest. I think that they did a great job, and just wanted to share.

A lot of detail and time spent in painting this, but I am very happy with how it turned out. I used wider boards for the top to accommodate the hand drawn and painted flag. So glad that it is finally done!

Outdoor couch excellent plans, easy to make and result is amazing.

Got the plans from this website and built the table for our family room!

As always, we were super inspired by Ana White designs and wanted to tackle the media console project but add a little bit of our own farmhouse flare.  This project was stained with apple cider & white cider vinegar and topped with ivory spray paint.  Details are up on my blog, Sincerely the Smiths!   Thanks for all your inspiring projects Ana White, we love getting to see all the awesome things you do!   

Such a fun build! Can't wait to start my new project 🤗

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

This is a narrow farmhouse table that I was asked to build for my neighbors. The plan was very easy to follow and didn't take long to do at all. I used 1x12x8' shelving board from the local home improvement center for most of the application. When mating the top together, I used a biscuit joiner, (aside to what the plans called for), for added strength. Also, I remember from years back that you should alternate the "rings" in the lumber to prevent bowing. This gave me a smooth, level table top without using a planer. Using the shelving board made this table very light, I love this table!!

This is my version of the clubhouse bed that i made for my 4yr old son.

Built this garden bench all from recycled fencing materials. I didn't want the wood to go to waste, so I've been reusing all of it on garden and outdoor yard projects.

Thx for the plan Ana. I modified it slightly to make it a bit different but realy loved you plans.

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.

This was my first project ever and I'm so excited how well it turned out!! However, I did modify the length and height for my space. The table is 40" long and 33" tall. The finish is Benjamin Moore Tawny Day Lily (awful name) with their high gloss wood finish. Thank you Ana!! You made this project seem easy and now I'm excited to build more!
