This project cost me approx $160. I added a fire truck wallpaper border across the front and sides, finished the top in chalk board paint, and used torsion hinges from Rockler. Pricey but very nice for a lid. I also added plastic feet to the bottom and felt tabs where the lid touches the four legs. I like finishing details. It took me about a week to complete, mostly because of the time needed for the chalk board paint to set up. Loved the way it came out and hated to part with it! Ana's plans are always easy to follow and turn out great

This plan was so easy to follow. I love my new workbench!

It was after getting to know your website and seeing all your nice craftsgirlship we decided to make our own garden furniture.

We are wery satisfied with the results, thanks a lot for the inspiration!

PS) Time investment = per item.

Table and benches were made to plan, except I shortened the overall length and added another 2x10 to the top to give it some additional width. The benches were also shortened slightly so the legs of the benches slide between the legs of the table; which allows the benches to be pushed further under the table when not in use. Avoid my rookie furniture making mistake and go to a specialty lumber store that sells wood that is already aged (dry). Most everything you find at the big box stores will still be wet and shrink/warp on you if not completely dry first.

No more IKEA for me!

I'd been wanting to add a piece of furniture at the end of my son's bed for awhile, but I had a difficult time deciding on what exactly to do. Not only did I want it to be something he could sit on, but also I wanted to add some extra storage. We had thought of a trunk but the idea of little fingers getting pinched made that idea a little scary. I turned to Ana-white's website for help. I didn't find exactly what I wanted, but I did get some inspiration from the new Kentwood Bookshelf. It's constructed the same way but with some sizing adjustments.

Thanks Ana for your wonderfull website! even in The Netherlands your designs are shown.

Modified the plans from the farmhouse table to add leaves in order to extend it another 15" total. Turned out well with the locking latches.

My princess-loving daughter needed somewhere to keep her collection of dress up outfits, so I made her this 'rolling rack'. Some mods that I made: I routed the edges for some interest and added moulding to the bottom to disguise the casters.

In our living room/sun room we needed a place to lounge as well as a place for guests to sleep. We used the chunky leg bed frame plans with the full size modifications to build 2 of them to make a giant Hawaii style Punee. We were able to build both of these easily in 1 day. We modified the legs and used 4x4's to make them taller and more rustic looking.

My son had been asking if I could build him a desk for months, so I finally decided to get it done! I found this to be a fairly easy build and with some minor changes, will likely build additional ones in the future.

My first real project from your site. This was my first time to use my pocket hole jig. Wow did it work great. The video was great made it very easy to follow the plans
