So I made a small list of hopefully obtainable daily goals.
1) Do 1 load of laundry, and put it away
2) Go for a short walk or jog
3) Fix my hair
4) At least put mascara on
5) Don't be wearing sweats (including cute ones) at 5PM
6) Check the mail
7) Post to my blog
8) Be ahead instead of behind on emails
9) Build, even if it's just for 15 minutes
10) Do something fun with Grace
Sounds simple enough, eh?
LOL! This is actually quite a challenge for me. Between keeping up with the blog, helping my mom out at her restaurant, and babysitting my sister's children full time, and being a mom to Grace, and being an avid DIYer for anything from canning food to sewing . . . well, we can say, at least Ana has big dreams. :)
And while I'mon this never ending quest to simplify life, I am also attempting to finish plan collections when I start them. So I apologize if you don't have a teen or the need for tons of storage in a child's room.
After today's plan, the only one left in the collection is the side towers. But those will be coming soon, so stay tuned.

I'm single never had kids and in my mid 50's and I plan on making this for myself. (I ooohhh'd and ahhhh'd as soon as I saw it posted)
Currently I'm out of work with a truck down for the count. So the build is on hold. Once back on my feet and not dependent on the public bus I will build this.
I have a tiny apartment and lots of stuff, organized storage is my biggest challenge. To save space I sleep on a twin. This system is perfect for me and the top shelf is perfect for (what I call) a lion ledge. (have cats and they too need space, especially up high)
Once done I will send pix!
This really would help
This really would help maximize some storage space! Thank you for sharing!

I agree with Aubergine, skip the mascara. I used to wear make up all the time, but after I moved to south east-- it gets so humid here, I stopped wearing make up all together. I just sweat it off anyway. Now I've decided it's highly over-rated =)

That looks like a very ambitious day! :-) Love this headboard plans, my husband and I have been wanting to build something like this for a while, now maybe we'll do it, thanks to your plans! Love your site!

Hey, I can't view your site
Hey, I can't view your site properly within Opera, I actually hope you look into fixing this.
Is it possible to modify this
Is it possible to modify this for a full. I know the smaller cubby can be modified and the side cabinets will be fine how they are. Maybe you could do 3 cubbies up top or some combination to avoid sagging?
I don't see why a full would
I don't see why a full would not work, but I agree, definitely go the safe route and and a center support.
Where are plans for the Headboard Drawers?
I love this set but I can't find the plans for the headboard drawers.
Never Mind
I found them.
