Built this fire place using Ana’s plans and bought the same insert she had. Loved the way it turned out! I added the cabinets and shelving to each side.

The cover is a tonneau cover for a pickup truck. It's for a 6.5' truck bed so if you notice, I had to ad a 2x4 and one more picket on top to accommodate the extra length.
The cover would add a ridiculous amount of money to the project but it was repurposed. I found it on a truck that was in an accident and going to the scrap yard. I think it it came out great and my grandson loves it.

I took a woodworking course through the community college and built this cedar bench for my front porch. I learned so much throughout this process and am proud of how it came out. I am now building up my own arsenal of tools and supplies. I can’t wait to choose my next project!

Such a great first project, thank you for sharing. Can't wait to see your next project!
My hubby took the plans from the Triple Pedestal Farmhouse Table and altered it to make it just over six feet. It is perfect and accommodates our smaller dining area space.

Hi. I went to martha.anna blog. This is the comment she posted on the dimensions.
From martha.anna:
I've had many emails and inquiries about the dimensions of this table. So, here's what I've been sharing with everyone...
Our dining room is 11 x 10 and there is a lot of room around it to fit in a hutch and still walk around easily. (Just for size reference.)
The overall length of the table is 6' 4.5". It is such an odd measurement so that the strips of board (1x6) on the tabletop would look in proportion. They are 33" long (the 1x6).
The beam across the bottom is 55.5" from outside edge to outside edge and my husband left 1/2" showing.
The pedestals are 10.5" from the end of the table.
Phew! I hope all of the information helps everyone out there! :)

Oh my. After several months I'm able to get all the material needed to do this table. I did the legs a couple of months ago. Now it's time to complete the rest. Hopefully, I can do it in a day's time - hopefully :).

Ill be making this table whcih is in the same design as the original triple pedestal table but Ill be making it smaller. Are you able to give me the measurements for this modified table? Do I make my top first and then the pedestals? I feel like if I make the same pedestals, then Im forced to make this a 40" wide table, and I only want it about 35-37".
Thanks!
Simple desk made from maple veneer paint grade plywood. It's very sturdy and looks great. The last photo shows a matching dresser that I made as well. So far I've made two of these identical desks and another with 3 large drawers underneath to one side. You don't have to have alot of fancy tools and expensive wood to make great looking, sturdy, and functional furniture. As always, sketchup plans available!
Just finished up my Murphy Bed project. Hope you like.

Amazing. I’ve seen these and have been looking for plans. May just have to dive in and interpret from pictures. You did a really great job, nice work.

The plans are for a different bed than the one in the picture.
I told the love of my life about how Ana had a really cool laundry basket shelf, and asked her if she wanted one. Of course she said yes, so I made her one! I added a few twists to mine as you can tell, but the actual shelf itself is completely from her design!
This was my seventh outdoor couch but my first sectional. My very first couches were all inspired by Ana White's plans and I have gotten so much better with my skills that I building other things as well. Thanks Ana for all your inspiration!
I made this bed over a weekend while I “room crashed” my oldest’s bedroom.
I’m so happy with the result. I experimented with stains mixing two, well layering colors.
That was a lot of fun!
I hope to write a blog post about it one day. I will add it to my ever-growing To Do List.
Let me know if you have questions. I love talking about building and all things DIY!

It had come time to renovate our powder room bathroom. We were on a tight budget so we decided to build our own vanity & add a little twist to it! We splurged on the granite countertop, vessel sink and faucet. Thanks to Ana White we built our vanity for less than $10! The plans were easy to follow . . . .we are so proud of our wood vanity! link to our blog: http://www.houseofrumours.com/shiplap-powder-room-diy-vanity/
This was the second building project I've ever completed. I had to make a few adjustments to make it fit the size of ray's closet, but it was totally worth it. most of the work was in the measuring, sanding, and sealing of the wood. Ftting the frames can be a little tricky if your planks aren't perfectly straight. Otherwise, this project was pretty straight forward and can be done in just a few days depending on how much time you have to dedicate to it. Thanks Ana!
Our 6 month old is crawling now and we had to hurry up and baby proof the house. As an added bonus this dog proofs the down stairs at our house as well. The "barn door" side is made from 1x6 and the back is 1x3. The stain is called Gunstock which my wife is obsessed with. She is talking about staining every piece of wood in the house with the stain which I will NOT be doing. It took me around 4 days to finish it completely and put it together. I built the frame in about an hour. I let the wood glue set for a day, then stained one side. I gave that stain 24 hours to dry and stained the other side. Then I followed the same process to clear coat it. I clear coated it three times and sanded between each coat. I had bought a latch kit and installed it. I am very happy with how it came out.

What a great piece, nice job! I love how you put this inside the house, I have been wanting to do a gate like this. Now it's on my list for sure after I see yours.

I live in a smaller rental with limited garage space, so I needed a place for my kids bikes. This is what I came up with. It required minimal screw holes in the treated fence posts and I attached a rail system(rubbermaid fasttrak) for the bikes to hang from. I used Ana's easy shelves plan for the upright supports and then just added some corrugated roofing and cedar fence pickets (which I had on hand) to finish off the top.
I wanted a bunk bed for our daughters, it needed to be easily moveable like the "classic bunk beds." I also wanted stairs like the "Sweet Pea Garden" bunk bed because we have toddlers in the house. I modified the classic bunk bed to put the ladder on the end, then built the Sweet Pea stairs to fit to the opening (I think the only difference in dimensions was a 20" top stair. I didn't want the unfinished ends of plywood so I got 4'x16"x3/4" pine boards from lowes which happens to be the width of the stairs in the plan. Instead of using the 1x2's as trim on the ends of the shelves I put two of them together, one all of the way down the front of each stair and one resting on the top of the stair (screwed together) so I wouldn't lose lateral stability. I then spaced 2x2's in between to keep it "simple" looking instead of the heart shaped decorations from the sweet pea bed. I used some 1/4" paintable composite board to provide a backing to the stairs. I bolted the stairs on to the bed with some flat bar stock cut to size and 3/8' in hex bolts cut to length. I used pocket hole joints wherever possible and countersunk all other screws and used 3/8" dots from lowes to fill the holes. I painted it with a coat of primer and a coat of Glidden Trim and Door paint in antique white from the Easy Vintage Step Stool project.

This is absolutely beautiful! Did you modify the size for toddler mattresses?
I would love to do the same for my kiddos - is there any way you could send me your version of the plans? [email protected]
Thanks so much!
Our old screen door wasn't cutting it anymore, so I built a new one, and to kill two birds with one stone, I included a built-in dog door. Now I just need to find the motivation to close off the old dog door.
I have the plans to build this screen door with a built-in dog door posted via the blog link below for anyone interested.
Love these plans! Made a modification and added backs to the chairs. Also, built ottomans to match the chairs which can also be used as additional seating.
Many compliments on the set. Thanks Ana!
We built this desk over Christmas break with my son for his bedroom.
Ran all wood through a planer and used pocket hole screws and Tite bond 3 glue. Black stain and satin polyurethane (3 coats) for the frame and my own stain concoction for the shelves and top treated with 2 coats of Odies oil.
He was very pleased and we enjoyed our time working on this project

Built this over the weekend for my girlfriends sister. It was a great project and the whole family was able to work together on it, sanding and waterproofing it before assembling. The loveseat plans need a little tweaking. We ran ran the slats the same direction as the chair plans call for so we added a middle support for extra stability. We also pitched the seating down towards the back by 5* to make a more natural sitting position.
