Tall Loft Bed
My husband, Daughter and I built this loft bunkbed for our seven-year-old granddaughter‘s birthday. It turned out wonderful and she squealed when she saw it! Thanks so much for your online plans.

We decided to build the Farmhouse Table after our 30 year old dining table began to crack and just wasn't working so well for our family of 5. This was our first project, so we made a lot of mistakes but also learned a lot. One of the hardest things was finding decent lumber that wasn't warped or split. We also made two Farmhouse Benches but they aren't included in this photo.
Thank you soo much for the apron plans. I've used a sewing machine about 5 times in my life, and I didn't know what "stitch in the ditch" or bias tape or trim was, but with the plans and some web searching, I was actually able to sew this apron. It took me considerably longer than others, especially because I don't have an iron, pins, or a seam ripper (ripping a seam took me over an hour). Again, thank you sooo much! I hope to never lose my pen and tape measure at the lumber yard again with this handy creation :)

Great job on the work apron, Yvonne! Congrats on conquering the sewing machine!

Thank you, Joanne. :) There is so much I want to learn, and for some reason, I feel like I need to learn it all now, when my life is busier than ever. Hah!

Thank you so much. It reminded me of using a jigsaw, and vice versa. :)
Needed a big desk. Made mine at 8' long.

The desk came out great. I made the same desk, I went with the 2x12x6 dual board top. I like the look of the solid piece on top...will have to try it on the next one.
I used the wall jewelry cabinet plan and modified it a bit to fit the materials that I already had in the garage. The whole project was built using salvaged barn wood and siding that was built in the 1800's. It took a little longer to square up the boards and sand them to a friendly feel but I had little to no finishing time in the end. The plans were so spot on that used them almost exactly.! I just added another cross support to the door and used old barn wood tongue and groove for the back. I also fastened a little piece of wood at the top of the door with one brad nail. I did this to keep the door shut in a more attractive way then a clasp or hasp. The little piece swings out of the way with ease. I bought the knob at hobby lobby for 2 dollars and the hinges were less than 2 dollars. The hardware cloth came in a roll that was 24 inches by 25 feet long for 10 dollars. Basic wood working knowledge and tools are super helpful with this project and as is stated in the original plans... a kreg jig makes it so much faster and easier.! Thanks so much for sharing!!
I saw a post on Fixthisbuildthat.com about making wall art. It looked super cool so I thought i would give it a shot. My wife loved the first one so I made two more per her request. These are pretty easy to do if you have a table saw and a miter saw.
I did not edit this project, except the original project plan called for the bed to be turned sideways, I made this with the bed facing the right original way. The longest part of this project was waiting for the stain. It is not included in the estimated build time.
I used the plans to build my island, but I'm using it more like an extra counter. I reduced the depth by about 4 inches so it would fit in the space better. I did all my cuts with a circular saw, and I can recommend using a table saw and/or chop saw to get straighter cuts. The gem of the island is the concrete countertop. I poured 2 bags of concrete reinforced by rebar, darkened with a charcoal colorant. This was an experiment to see if concrete countertops would work for our whole kitchen. Success!
Some super quick and rustic DIY End Tables dipped in homemade Chalk Paint!
Saw this video and shared it with my fiancé. She loves plants and really wanted something like this. It took me a couple of hour to build. I stained it and sealed it over two days to be nice and weather resistant. She loved it. I added some suppor on the top because she wanted the shelve a bit higher on the top. I made a little change to it. This is my first Ana white project and i look forward to doing some more.
Super easy to build ,thanks for the instructions!!!!!!
This summer my wife and I remodeled our oldest's bedroom. I found this nightstand on Ana's website, and my wife fell in love with it. I had to make it! I noticed there were no brag posts for the Julia, so I felt that I had to contribute as a thank you for finding these plans. Thanks Ana!

Lovely desks/space! And the sewing machines look like they're going to bring hours of fun! What kind of wood did you use for the tops? Did you route it to make it tongue and groove?
This is the second thing I’ve built made based off of an Ana White plan! We followed as best we could? It got a bit dodgy around step 5 but we made it!
I needed a compact way to organize and store my running shoes. As you can see in the pictures above, the answer was relatively simple. My google search led me http://www.notmartha.org/tomake/shoerack/ . I simplified the idea using 1x2, 1x3, and 1x4 boards. You can see the simple shape these make holds the shoes by the toe. I used a 1x2 board for a spacer between the two levels. On a whim , I added another spacer board and topped it all off with another 1x4 which fit perfectly as a shelf.
Before I assembled the pieces, I predrilld holes across the 1x2 boards. When I installed them piece by piece, it was only a matter of leveling and installing drywall anchors.
I built a slightly smaller version of the full sized dollhouse. I used MDF for the house with the roof and pine for the and windows.

Love this! How did you come up with the dimensions?
Used the Kreg Jig for the table top. I followed Ana White's Youtube Video "How to Build a Tabletop" for instructions on how to do it.
Weeklong project for all three. Started on a Saturday and had it in the dining room and eating a meal the next Saturday!
My first project!
