This project took a day to build and about four days to stain with a day of drying in between each coat. Great plans! I love my new couches!

I changed the dimensions and design slightly but used the grandy plans as a starting point. Some changes had to be made due to wood choices. I had to flip the rollers behind the doors as they came out too thick, but I like the look of seeing the whole door. Overall, I’m very pleased with how this turned out.

This is our take on the Farmhouse Bedside Table made from beautiful beetle kill wood.  :D

My wife and I had another baby girl and Avery was moving out of her crib into a big girl bed. Definitely didn't want to buy cheap so after seeing some amazing plans on Ana-White.com, I had to build it myself. I loved the storage this bed had to offer and the simple look of the large headboard and footboard. I got started, and because of my scheduling i had this built in two weekends but total of about 10-12 hours. Very glad I did it. My daughter loves it, wife was impressed and now one crib free for little baby Vida!

Just added my own twist to awesome project!

Built in an afternoon. I built them from a picture on Ana White website and modified a bit with both planes. Roll Tide was routed into a piece of wood and glued to the sides of the plane. The "A" was cut out on the band saw and finished on the scroll saw. The "T" on the orange plane was painted on The tri plane is the favorite. Roll Tide !

End Table

I modified the Clara table and a few of the chair plans to come up with Marlee's new set. I had scrap 2x2s, 1x6s and 1x3s from the Lydia Toddler Bed and so I modified the dimensions a bit and used 3 boards 1x6 and 2 1x3 to make up the table top. The chairs are a combination of the Four Dollar Stackable Chair and the Classic Chairs Made Simple. I kept splitting the wood on the legs for the Four Dollar chair, so I modified the plan to have the legs 2x2 like the table and bed. It was a lot of trial and error but I finally got it right... The only thing was I had already cut the seat slats to size so I used them as the seat supports and so I only had to purchase two 2x3x6, other wise every thing else was scrap.

She was so excited to see it... we already had 3 tea parties!! Thanks to you Ana for your inspiration. I so can't wait to start the doll high chair for Marlee's next surprise!!!

When I saw this project on Ana's site I had to make it. It turned out great and get's compliments from all my friends.

The only modifications I made were to the top. I used 2x6 boards and did breadboards on each end.

I documented my build with photos and did a 10 minute video tutorial showing the whole process of building Ana's table.

This bed is built out of reclaimed barn wood. I added two full extension drawers on either side.  

This oversized reclaimed barn wood dining table measures a whopping 96″ by 54″ – that’s quite a dining room table, with seating options to easily fit ten people.  You can comfortably sit three adults on each side of the table, while also accommodating two adults on each end.  In a pinch, you could actually fit four adults on each side of this table while having the two still sit at the ends; having four kids on the sides would not be a problem at all.

This table top was constructed from 2×6 and 2×8 beams, while the base was built out of 4×6 and 4×4 posts. I believe “behemoth” may be a proper word to describe it, as I even had to deliver the top in multiple pieces and assemble it on site.  The benches were also constructed mostly from 2×6 beams harvested from the same barn as the material used in the table itself.  We added a light coat of Provinicial stain to help bring out some uniformity in the color, and finished with a few coats of liquid wax to help protect the table.  We informed the client of the trade offs of using a wax instead of a polyurethane, but they really preferred the “softness” of the wax finish and understood that they will have to reapply every year.

We needed a prep area for our BBQ, so I decided to use the plans for the Simple Kitchen Island. I made it a little bit narrower (20 inches rather than 24), and added drawer pulls to hang up our BBQ tools. It's coming in very handy!

I used Ana's changing table plans to build this for my new granddaughter. I modified it to be more like a dresser that she will be able to use for many years.

Here's a round top side table I built.  The top is made from reclaimed red oak barn wood, sourced from a barn right here in Charlotte, NC.  The base is made from standard 2x6s and trim.
