Bunk bed shelf
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!

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!
Thanks, Ana for the plan! We were remodeling a nearly 60 year old bathroom and a store bought vanity would absolutely not fit. Using your awesome plans, we were able to get a vanity that would fit, and be one of a kind.

Love the look of this cabinet, stunning! Thanks for sharing:)
When I got it all put together it just seemed to be missing something,so I went back and routed the name of the name of the bnb that I made it for.It was still missing character so I took the torch to it and finally stained it.I think it has character now maybe?
Finished our tidy up table! A couple of tweaks: I didn't want to kreg jig the boards together because I have a tendency to split 1x's when using a lot of joins. I tried drilling from below, but the 2x2 furring strips were so soft that I couldn't get my warped 1x6's to suck down without the screws popping through, even when changing to 1 1/4" ones. So, I countersunk two holes on each end of each board, and used 3/8" buttons to fill them to provide a decorative element. I LOVE THEM! Not only are all my boards flush, but the top is now so pretty. I secured the middle by screwing in from below with 2" screws, but since I didn't need to make them so tight to get my boards flush they no longer popped out. I hope that makes sense.
Also, the sides are pretty wobbly without the trundle in there, so my husband suggested adding L brackets to each corner. Success! It's now solid as a rock. We screwed in from the outside and filled with more buttons. For those of you who don't like the raised look, they also have flat button hole plugs. They take stain so much better than wood putty.
Lastly, I chose 1 5/8" casters that move in all directions. Bad idea. It gives the proper 2" height, but makes the trundle difficult to maneuver. Going to try and find some fixed-side one-way casters to replace them. Other than that, it's fantastic!

Here's the link to the product: http://www.homedepot.com/buy/paint/paint-sprayers/husky/gravity-feed-hv… . It's $50, and comes with 2 sprayers and 4 tanks (2 large, 2 small). You can use paint or stain. The coverage is nice and even. It was so much more fun to stain that way than with rags and brushes!
