American Girl Doll Bed
My daughter wanted a bed for her dolls. American Girl Doll Bed beds are outrageous, soI decided to make one out of some scrap wood we had laying around. I modified it a bit and added a trundle bed below.
Twin Corner Beds with Storage Tower
Built this plan, added bolt hangars and flat face mounts, and corner braces to make it easily assemble or disassemble for moving
Hudson Dresser
Took us about three weeks mostly working on weekends. We could only work when our child was sleeping. A worth while project if you have the time, space and tools needed. It weighs a ton when done. Our higher cost is due to using a higher wood quality and $125 for the eight ball bearing drawer slides. All the plywood is birch, the top is an Aspen panel and the rest is select pine.

I'm about to start building this and I was wondering how you installed the drawer slides.
Thanks!
Computer Armoire aka my new office
From these plans: http://ana-white.com/2013/05/plans/toy-or-tv-armoire
For my quilting business, I needed an office for the paperwork, etc. that comes with running a business. With no spare room for an office, I built this armoire to hold my computer, business papers, and the bags that contain my quilting samples, forms, etc.
On the inside, I used pegboard for the backing so the electrical equipment would have ventilation. I also thought I might be able to hang stuff from the pegboard as well. If I had to do it again, I would set up the keyboard slide and side drawers a little differently. I used scrap wood for that part. I should have just gotten another piece of 3/4 inch plywood and fixed it right, with pocket holes. I'd intended to put drawer pulls on the drawers, but the doors hit the drawers when they close. So, I will need to cut some holes in the drawers to use as pulls.
Sewing Table
Sewing tables are quite expensive, the cheapest I've seen was about $160. I decided to make one myself. I spent about $30 for all the wood, bolts, and nuts that I used to make it.
Geo Thermal Anna White Greenhouse w/ Aquaponics system coming!
My Annawhite design with geothermal improvements. It will also have a 1000 gallon Aquaponics system inside!
Cottage End Table
Basically the same idea, I added doors with antique hardware.

Plane Shelf
Had to build this when I saw it. My coworker just had their first newborn baby boy and wanted hanging shelf's so I built one out of some scrap wood.

Modified Kids Lounge Bench
In getting my boys (ages 8, 5, and 3) started in woodworking, I decided to try this bench. We had a ton of fun building it together.
As you can see, I beefed it up a lot - using 4x4's for legs and recessing the frame into the legs themselves. The boys did all of the sanding and assembling and 80-90% of the cutting. I was just there as training wheels. It took much longer to build with the 4 of us than if I had done it myself. I estimate I could have done this in 3-4 hours. Group effort made it about 20-22 hours.
My 5 year old was the one who campaigned for the arched backrest. I think that they did a great job, and just wanted to share.
Child's Picnic Table
A lot of detail and time spent in painting this, but I am very happy with how it turned out. I used wider boards for the top to accommodate the hand drawn and painted flag. So glad that it is finally done!
Farmhouse Queen Bed - Great Plans!
This was a great set of plans...easy to follow and everything was available from the local home improvement store. I appreciate the time and effort that you all put in to making the plans easy to follow.
Modern Outdoor Chair
Fun project!
DIY Bathroom Fan Vent Cover
The plastic cover that came with the fan looked cheap and flimsy and really didn't fit in with the vintage style of my bathroom. I searched around to try and find something else that would work but was unsuccessful so I decided that I needed to make something myself.

A-Ha Moment
Thanks lbrown, you just gave me an idea. We are painting our entire upstairs and hate those industrial looking air return vents. This would be a great replacement for them. Thanks for the inspiration.
Corona coffee table
Got the plans from this website and built the table for our family room!
Barn Door Media Console
As always, we were super inspired by Ana White designs and wanted to tackle the media console project but add a little bit of our own farmhouse flare. This project was stained with apple cider & white cider vinegar and topped with ivory spray paint. Details are up on my blog, Sincerely the Smiths! Thanks for all your inspiring projects Ana White, we love getting to see all the awesome things you do!

This is so beautiful!!!
This is so beautiful!!! Thank you so much for everything, I'm so honored that you use my plans and follow our projects. With much appreciation, Ana
My first build - Changed it up a bit.
After going through tons and tons of different bed styles settled on this one because i LOVED the way the original image looked, though when it came to picking out stains I decided to do mine a bit differently! I like the look of multiple stains, it certainly allows for you to play with different wood stains on other bedroom furniture as well. This bed WEIGHS A TON, so we agreed that we will never move it unless its to the burn pile but I highly doubt that will ever happen because its incredibly sturdy! Also - Thanks Ana White family, this build introduced me to my kregg jig and it is by far my very favorite tool now!
White Porch Swing
I am slowly adding things to dress up the outside of my home. This was a fun project to do, many thanks for the plans!

Narrow Farmhouse Table
This is a narrow farmhouse table that I was asked to build for my neighbors. The plan was very easy to follow and didn't take long to do at all. I used 1x12x8' shelving board from the local home improvement center for most of the application. When mating the top together, I used a biscuit joiner, (aside to what the plans called for), for added strength. Also, I remember from years back that you should alternate the "rings" in the lumber to prevent bowing. This gave me a smooth, level table top without using a planer. Using the shelving board made this table very light, I love this table!!
