Outdoor sofa L shape & coffee table
Made a few adjustments - rounded the armrest. Absolutely delighted with it.

My wife and I have couldn't decide where to start our DIY projects, so we picked the Kentwood plans out of a stack and got to work.
Ours are fashioned out of two 1x 12 pine boards, (7/8 x 11 1/4) cut for size. There is a great mom and pop lumber yard about an hour from where we are, and has spectacular prices on just about every kind of wood...saves us about 67% off the box stores.
We had some cedar tongue and grove boards lying around, so I used the cedar for the side and door panels. We also opted to add a shelf to the interior, measuring 13' off the bottom deck.
We did not finish the interior, aside from sanding the shelves, and putting on a top coat.
The top of the nightstands are made with scrap tongue and grove pine wall panels my father-in-law had sitting in his wood shop.
Really fun, enjoyable first foray into the ana-white.com community. Gotta say, having a Kreg jig makes joinery a snap.
Fun project, ordered the hardware for the rail system itself and the wheels were too big so I made my own rail system.

Beautiful build. Looking forward to building one of my own.
Inspired by the designs from Ana White and Whitney from Shanty2Chic and so thankful for the clear instructions, I built this 4x4 Truss Beam dining table using locally sourced clear Douglas Fir. We are so pleased with the results!

I bought a house and couldn't stomach buying something I could probably build myself. This is my first project and first furniture build. Besides buying the drill and screws the table was free. Didn't even buy a skill saw, just used a hand saw. The dimensions were dictated by the length of the pallet boards and width by the two end caps, so there were very few cuts to make.
Found plastic planter boxes for succulents (3 in picture) @ dollar store. I wanted to be able to switch out the center pieces and plan to rotate in herbs, ice, other flowers.
This project was totally made possible and inspired by others posting projects so I thought I should say thanks and post my own creation.
I built this plywood rack for my shop a couple of weeks back. Here is a link to my site with a free set of plans: http://www.lanebroswoodshop.com/2015/02/sheet-goods-rack.html

My son loves his new cabin bed and now my girls are beggin for theirs. I used nuts and bolts to secure together for easy removal once he grows out of it.
We have been a subscriber of Ann White's YouTube channel for quite some time. With our kitchen remodel we needed an idea for our pantry. All I can say is thank you Ann White!

Way to go, thank you for sharing and posting your video!
Built from reclaimed knotty alder
This is the table I made from your plans, but I changed up some of the dimensions and such to fit my needs...it turned out amazing and my wife, family and friends love it...I have been asked if I take orders, but my wife says no...I can only make one for her...lol
Outdoor coffee table with lift top. Modified the top slightly but went by the plans otherwise. Still need to paint/stain. A fun build and super functional!
I had to adjust the height and width of this project to fit on my wall in this corner. But I just LOVE how it came out. It's one of my favorite pieces of furniture in my whole house!
MY FIRST PROJECT
See the before/after pic for the difference. My daughter was pulling everything off our open TV stand so it had to go! I designed this to give us the toy storage we need as well. The niche was over two feet deep so I wanted something to utilize all the space. I also wanted the fireplace to stand out so added the board and batten treatment.

Thanks! We just sold our house in under 48 hours and I think they helped. Thanks for all the great plans Ana!
This was fun and easy. I had some of the wood already so I didn't spend that much. My girls painted it to add a personal touch. I would consider adding a magnet to help the doors stay closed a little better. Its been a couple of years and they are still enjoying this. At the time I had no idea how to make a star. Now I know it woudl be easy with a jig saw.
Custom sized desk to fit between a radiator and wall. Combination of cubby desk with added lower shelving and upper hutch with shelf unit.
Thank you for your doll house plans!
This was a gift for my granddaughters 5th birthday. I altered the stair design a bit to provide a little more durability.
The only part I struggled with was the wallpaper.
All-in-all the project was a success and she LOVED it!
This is my first large project and I'm very happy with the result. Since I knew we were using regular (thick) mattresses instead of thin bunk-style mattresses, I built the guard rails taller than in the plans. The bunk beds are painted Benjamin Moore Citrus Orange http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/citrusorange. The walls are Benjamin Moore Waterfall http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/waterfall.
Helpful Hint: IKEA's LONSET slatted bed base fits perfectly instead of needing to cut your own bed slats. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80278715/#/30278732
So my sister moved back to Southern California from New York. She found a great place but needed a table. I made one table and one bench. My sister then found two chairs for the other side. This is the second or third thing I have made/built from Ana’s site. Thank you for making me feel more manly with great instruction. I also built this pre Covid-19 when lumber was not so expensive.
