If you follow my blog, you probably already know Ana White. You probably already read Knock-Off Wood, and you probably have either already built something from her site, or are int he process of buying materials for one of her plans.
She’s contagious. Really.
Ana is this gorgeous female carpenter who offers free plans on her website for dozens upon dozens of awesome furniture pieces that you could easily buy in stores…. for a markup that makes me want to cry. I don’t mean like “Wow, I saved 10% by building it myself”. I’m talking more “I spent $110 on this including paint instead of buying it for $3,000 in a designer furniture store”. She’s awesome.
My husband and I are completely addicted to her website and while the big kids picnic table here was our first project by her, we have several more we are ready to tackle after vacation.
I was a bad girl and didn’t take photos while we were making this, but here are some pics of the kids (and dog!) enjoying this table once it was finished.





















You’re table is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy your vacation, love the photos, especially the ones with your little ones and the dog.
Love the table! If you hate it, please feel free to bring it over here, ok?
Wow! That is awesome and what a perfect picnic table dress for Miss Lily. I love how EVERYONE in the family is enjoying it.
