Double laudry table
I combined the features I liked from both of these. I was able to snag some wood table tops at auction ($5.00 ea) that I painted to look like stone.

I did it! Using your plans I made the doll crib. I had to improvise on the drawer as the drawer in the plans was to tall to go under the bed and I had already put it together before checking. Oh well. I also made the mattress, reversible blanket and 2 pillows for the bed. As this was my first woodworking project I am so proud of how well it turned out. Thank you Ana for this site. It is amazing and I am HOOKED.

The drawer isn't out of line, it is just my hearth is uneven. LOL
After looking online for something to make a fireplace to hang my kids stockings, I came across Anna's! WOW her instructions and plans seemed very simple to follow and so I did. I made minor adjustments based on what I had on hand but I followed her plans to the t. Thank you Anna, you inspired me!

You did a great job on this! The paint finish looks beautiful, and I love the scalloped decorations and rosettes!
Modified the plans slightly to make a bigger bench, especially on one end. Added rope lights underneath for a cool effect.
After a laundry area refresh, I was looking for a slim utility cart to fit between the washer and dryer. I couldn't find anything that fit the space appropriately, so after finding the Easiest Industrial Cart plan, I decided to make one for my space. I built it using a 2x6x10 board and aluminum angle.

This is so great, love the simplicity and look!
My first project build from Ana-white.com. My wife had been looking at these towers online for a while until we saw they were upwards of $200 online... So I was like, "I'm sure I could make one.". So I found Ana's website, and here it is... My 19 month old daughter loves it, she climbs in and out of it with no problems, she calls it "uppy". This is my first of many projects to come from this very helpful site. The plans are all so helpful and very detailed. Thanks Ana!
We ended up going with 4 2x12's for the table top and used 2x6's for the bread boards.
This project was a blast to build!!!! I modified the fire truck loft bed by changing a few of the exterior accent pieces. I also built it to fit a full mattress in stead of the planned twin. I did this by adding additional slates for support. I just recently was able to finish it completely when i found someone who could make the decals. Hope you all enjoy and feel free to ask any questions. Also I used cabnet grade plywood so mine cost was a lot more expensive.
I built this bed a while ago but I am finally getting around to submitting a brag post.
It is the largest thing I have ever built and it was a huge labor of love. I made it by myself in the evenings after work and weekends over the course of a few weeks. I modified the plans only slightly. I added an extra 1x6 board which makes the overall height 76 inches tall.
I also changed how the windows were framed and added flower boxes. I got a bit OCD and filled all the pocket holes because I didn’t like the way they looked even though it was quite tedious, I am happy with the way it turned out.
At first, I put the play kitchen I built from Ana’s plans underneath, but that was later replaced with a little tv stand that I made to fit perfectly under the playhouse. I didn’t use any plans for that but it was just a simple bookshelf. I measured the space, cut the wood as I went and used beadboard on the back of the shelf with cutouts for cords. I used leftover paint from the playhouse for the tv stand.

Congrats! Your post was randomly selected for a $100 gift card! Look out for that in your inbox shortly!
This was an Ana White plan. My first outside project. Late husband left me with lots of tools so decided I’d teach myself woodworking. Thanks Ana White for the super easy plans. I tweaked them a little especially the outside look. I put a single fold down door for the pullout tray. Put a hinged ladder for easy clean out attached to clean out tray.

Thank you for sharing, I'm sorry for your loss and happy you were able to pick up your late husbands tools and build.
A Playhouse Under the Stairs for the Grand babies! A really fun space :) A fun project for me to build ... It lets the creative thoughts take shape. I had the perfect space for a playhouse under the stairs in the basement and thought that since we live in a cold climate it might be good to have an indoor play space. Inside I put down carpet to keep that area warmer since it is on the cement floor. I also installed bead board, chair rail and plywood with wall paper on it. I didn't use any plans from this amazing site but did see other plans that inspired me! I will be using some plans on this site soon. Look for a Murphy Bed soon from me :)

That is an amazing play space for your grand babies! Makes me wish I had stairs so I could build one for me! LOL
Mon, 01/23/2012 - 13:51
Not a single detail was overlooked. What a great use of the space! I'm sure the grandbabies are thrilled

Very cool, makes me wish that I had a house with stairs!! Just so I could build it for me!! LOL My kids are too old anyway right?! (13, 14 & 15)

We are never to old to enjoy girl stuff and imagination. I made this for my grand babies but had so much fun with it myself. I am so glad that you enjoyed it.
Hugs,

This modification of the Rustic X Console uses 4x4's for legs. The top is one extra 2x6 wide, and the horizontal cross-pieces are 2x4's. The whole thing is 72" wide. More photos on my blog: http://redhenhome.blogspot.com/2013/12/grand-rustic-x-buffet.html
Nothing was bought for this table. I allocated $5 as cost for the screws and sandpaper. 2 x 6 legs & 2 x 4 rails used wood recycled from material removed during alterations to our 1930's barn. Supports were extracted from the woodpile. Nails were removed where possible, or cut off and punched below the surface where they were not removable. Because the wood was very old and splintery an enormous amount of time was spent sanding.
The top is an Ikea counter thrown out from a kitchen remodel and rescued from the roadside, still in its cardboard box. Score!
I am very pleased with the design and plan to make another using better lumber. The table is very sturdy and will be used as a sewing/crafts table.
I made this toy box for a couple that I worked with. They like it so much, that they asked me to make them two more
We needed space, display space as well as gadget space. The Workbench Console and Rustic Hutch fit in well with the dinner table I modified from Ana's Farmhouse table. Instead of adding the 2x6 on the front and towel bar, I opted to leave the face clean with just a 2x4 and add some reclaimed antique drawer pulls on the side for decoration.
Instead of plywood or 1x4's for the back of the hutch I used the ever handy bead board. Same feel, but cut to size. We also raised the shelf up 12" from the bottom so that I could easily vacuum under it and it would be a great place for a basket or 2 just to hide linens.
Thank you Ana...my house is transforming one project at a time...

I like this a lot! You did a fabulous job! I can see a ton of applications where I could use something like this around the house.
We adjusted the plans slightly to better fit our room. Rather than an angled set of stairs leading to the platform, we replaced it with a short vertical ladder. We also increased the height of the bed to allow for another bunk in the lower section for when Callaghan outgrows his crib. Plus, we added handles to the bed which made it easier for Luke to get up and down.

This looks great! Love the mods and the play area underneath.
I was looking for a bed for my daughters room. She does not have much storage or room so this plan worked perfect. Took about two days so a great weekend project. Built with love unlike from a store.
When we moved into our house, there was an empty breakfast nook. I built in the banquette seating, and then built the table out of oak. This was inspired by the Triple Pedestal Table (http://ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/triple-pedestal-farmhouse-tab…)
rustic bench, modified length and omitted x detail, painted numbers

Sometime I wish I hadn't been handed down such a nice dining table and chair (plus coordinating antique buffet!)set from my parents. I read about this project at your site and would love to build this for my family. We are expecting baby #6 and two benches with 1, 2, and 3 on one and 4, 5, and 6 on the other would be too cute.
I keep hoping my parents will build again, this time in the style that matches their previous set and I can "generously" give them back the heirloom set ;-).
I really wanted a new entertainment center but could not find one in the stores that I liked and looked to be made of good quality. I liked the Apothecary Console but needed to make a few adjustments to the plan, which is why I marked my project at an intermediate level.
I built this about a year ago and love it as much today as I did the day I finished it. I have had a ton of compliments on it and many are impressed when I tell them I made it myself.
I love this plan! It's so versatile. I made this bench for my daughter's entry. First I painted it with an all in one paint/primer in light grey, then I sanded it down to reveal some of the wood grain and roughed up the edges a bit. Next, I brushed a dark ebony stain over the entire bench, one section at a time, and wiped it away. I thought I would get less stain, but really enjoy the end results. Thanks Ana!
