When I built the Mom's Train Table, I wanted the top to flip to look like an actual painted train table. That meant while the kiddo was playing trains, he wouldn't be able to access the storage below the plywood. To solve that problem, I used almost the entire storage space for two drawers, one for trains, one for track. The drawers were built on wooden slides, using 1x4" pieces for the sides and backs. The slides were waxed to slide better. Since the drawers allow access to the inside of the table, I also decided not to add the "access hole" to the center of the plywood top.

I used the Master Closet system plans with a slight modifcation for the slanted cellings

Modified the plan to use pallet wood and stained it classic grey for a weathered look.

It was time to upgrade my boy's toddler beds to big boy beds. They wanted bunk beds but I was afraid they'd take turns jumping off the top bunk. When I came across the Sweet Pea bunk bed plans I was so excited because the design wouldn't allow them to jump off the top bunk.

I was inspired by someone else on this feed who built doors. I also tweaked the pergola a bit. I also added extra support to the rear panel framing by adding another vertical post from the top of the horizontal post to the top bunk horizontal post and then another from the top bunk to the bottom bunk horizontal post, both directly down the middle. Probably overkill but felt that was a long run for the rear panel sections. I made my roof out of plywood siding panel and framed it on the back side to keep it from bowing and added support. A few more added elements are a dedicated fan for each bunk, reading lights, and led light strips that flash and fade into different colors. 

I had a lot of fun building this and since it's been completed, I've had even more fun building much smaller projects. 

Thank you Jenny for sharing your plans on Anna White's website and thank you Anna White for sharing all of your wonderful plans as well! 

Took the farmhouse plan and added a Trundle.   Was initially going to build two farmhouse beds for my two girls, but thought adding the Trundle would free up some much needed floor space.  The girls love it!

We remodelled my son's room and what better theme than Fortnite for an 8 year old... and what better loft than the Battle Bus!!

I've been building Ana White American Girl doll furniture for my two daughters for the last three years, culminating with my biggest build of all - a modified version of Ana's dollhouse.

My wife kept telling me it would end up being huge, and she was right.  The great news is that it doubles as storage when the girls aren't playing!  2 Bedrooms, kitchen, living room, bathroom, and upstairs bonus room for dance and gymnastics.  78" tall x 76" wide, mounted to the wall studs for safety.   Lots of joy in our home on Christmas day.  Thanks Ana!

Found this on the website and had to build it. Turned out perfectly.

I love my new sofa! It is ten times more comfy than our old one. We live on an island and it was definitely cheaper to build my own sofa than to ship one in and pay duty on it. Thank you Ana for making this possible! Never thought I'd be building my own sofa, but we are so thankful for it. We even threw together our own little ottoman/toy box to go along with it from scraps...added bonus!

Modified the plans slightly to make a bigger bench, especially on one end. Added rope lights underneath for a cool effect.

We made this for our daughter, and our other daughter wanted to paint it to look like a mushroom. We are very happy with how it turned out.
