I Wanna Build...

Wednesday, July 6, 2011

Recently, I've been bit by the build-it bug. I've been a long time fan of Ana White, you know the amazing DIY built wonder. Well just recently I was trolling on her lovely website, looking at plans when I came across furniture I wanna build. We ( the Mr. and I ) have fallen in love with her clean modern lined outdoor furniture. We are in the process of re-vamping our patio, who am I kidding our patio has never been done (we did fix it our for our Wedding Reception we hosted in our backyard) We recently bought an outdoor dining room set and want to build some more pieces for our backyard, more on that in a few days.

For the furniture we wanna build we plan on starting simple and working our way up to the big items. I really like this clean simple table, which would make a great buffet table for nights when we BBQ & have friends over.

From there I wanna build the DIY Outdoor Sofa inspired from Restoration Hardware. I wanna build the WHOLE set. I'm pretty much in love with the sofa! Oh and Ana even shares how to create your own cushions.

I also adore this bench that would look great in the lawn area of our backyard.

Those are my 'I Wanna Build Goals' if were able to table fairly easy and quick, our patio 're-vamp' will happen quicker than expected!

Have you built a project using Ana White's plans? Or plan to?

  4. Yes I have!! And I love her site! I built the West Elm inspired headboard for $17, 2 benches for my dining room table, 4 picture ledges, and a console!! I entered the bed into a contest and made it as a finalist. You can see the bed here:

    I also plan on making the outdoor sectional for my patio and the hanging daybed for the front porch. I just love her ideas! I hope everything works out for you!

    Sorry I got a little excited!!

  5. I'd LOVE to build some pieces for our yard! We have an old double headboard that I want to use to make an outdoor sofa... I have yet to convince B that it's a good idea though... so I'll keep working on that one! :)
