This was a build from a picture and made to fit into a space we have in the laundry room. Used the Kreg jig for much of it.
I built the two piece sectional + table and adjusted the sizing so the lengths of the sectionals pieces are the same.
Turned out amazing. So much fun building this and I can’t wait for my next project!
King Storage Bed with a built in bookcase as a headboard. Tons of storage space and turned out great especially at night.
Modified the junior loft plan to add a house design element and storage stairs, by Amy Mott
Had the perfect space for a little playhouse under the stairs in the basement and it's been our plan for 4 years to do something. Finally, we did something. Wanted depth so I added the roof and portico. Also added cedar shingles that I picked up for $7 at HD. Inside I had extra laminate flooring so I put that down and added beadboard, chair rail and crown molding. There's also a small transom window above the small kitchen area. The kids love the barnhouse doors with old fashioned doorbell, mailslot and window. The bookshelf under the stairs was the final touch. I didn't use any plans from this awesome site but did, as always, get a bunch of tips and inspiration!

Wow! That is awesome!
You really did a great job on that! So imaginative, too. WTG!

That is so stinkin' adorable! Fantastic job. I love everything about it. Your kids (and grandkids) will remember the playhouse under that stairs forever!

Wow, this is too cool! They are going to love love love this! Can't wait to see the kitchen reveal!

You did an amazing job on this. I'm planning a bunkbed with a similar facade. I love how cozy it looks without having to make an actual pitched roof. The shingles are such a nice touch that I may have to copy you! And it's wired for lights; you've really outdone yourself.

Thanks to all of you for the nice comments! Re: the door, I just cut a plain 18x80 door slab ($21 from orange) and trimmed it out. I still need to put the window grille over the open space, and was hoping to find a cool 'speak easy' grille that fits the space.
Thanks again!

This has to be one of the most adorable things I've ever seen! What an awesome idea......how cool is that for the kids??! Love the lighting and the laminate (or is it hardwood) flooring inside. Even the stove is gorgeous! Such fond memories will be made there and remembered forever. Kudos!!

I love this. I was just wondering about the little red kitchen. It looks like something I remember as a little girl back in the 60s. Did you make it or buy it somewhere?

Oh my goodness this is such an inspiration! However, as a beginning tool user, I don't think I could get my finishes so nice. How much experience had you had at this kind of stuff before? Was the area closed in before this project or did you do that too? I've got an open stairway into our basement and would be starting from scratch with ceiling, walls, etc. and have no experience hanging drywall or anything. I think it would take me a year. Great job, and thanks for sharing!

Hi there!
I was just wondering how you made the door for your play house? We're basically stuck at this level in ours right now... ;) Thanks for any tips!!!
It's a take off of your privacy fence planter. But I added water to make it a water wall also.
A $10 Mirror framed out with some 1 by 2, 1 by 3 and 1 by 4.
Stained black and then 2 coats of white paint sanding after each to give a rustic/antique look.
This project was actually my first build (besides a small blanket ladder). I used the Ana White plans every step of the way! Since this build I have created coffee tables, side tables, console tables, head boards and a bed frame. This table gave me the confidence to try an original project of my own. Although this table was fairly simple, it was the project that started it all. That is why I chose for this piece to be my brag post.
I did a 15" deep x 36 wall cabinet over the drawers and the rest of the uppers are 12deep x 42"
Lowers are standard 24" deep
Still deciding on countertops
Decided on pour in place concrete for the counter tops

I used the same plans for the doors, but used a shaker router bit set for construction
Tue, 03/29/2016 - 08:22
I used Anna's Plans, diffrent router set I think however.
Sun, 04/10/2016 - 07:09
Please link the router set you used, I love your cabinet doors!

I built the shoe cabinet but added card catalog handles. Also used deck railing toppers for the feet
Chicken coop I made to look like a little red barn complete with a working barn door. We have seven girls and they love their lovely barn home.

My Dad and I built this for my daughter's third birthday. It's been a big hit! I'm really happy with how it turned out.
Started these wishing wells as only having fun and for family it seems now that it is going to be a little more than I thought now taking orders from family friends

I love the wishing wells, but I can;t find a plan. My mom has wanted one of these forever! She now has stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma Stage 4 and I would love to build her one before it is too late.

Good or bad? I can't imagine anyone would say anything bad! This is awesome! Looks great!

Can I ask where you got this plan from.Would love to make one.
I just finished shelves on both sides of my garage using your video. I built a coat rack and boot rack. I also made space for tall items like tools and ladders near the garage door. I had to also build in a gun safe, freezer and my work bench. Everything came together and now I have everything in bins on shelves.

With some left over scrap 2x10 wood I made this stool for my children.
The total heigh of the stool is 9" (7 1\2" for the feet, 1 1\2" for the top, and 1\2" for the design on top made from scrap pallat wood)
The top is 1 1\2" x 9 1\4" x 16" (because of the thickness of the wood I would recommend cutting the top to 18" instead of 16")
The legs are cut with a 5 degree angle
I made the design on the top by ripping some reclaimed pallet wood into 1" strips and then cutting each into 2" pieces
I liked the design of the barnyard dinner table and needed a table on the patio for family get togethers. I modified the table plans to seat 10 and made it bar height. I also finished the top vs planks. Came out great.

Made these two in about 3 hours. Instead of wood glue I used construction adhesive. Now to sand and stain then add cushions.

Ana read my mind! I was telling my husband that I wanted "L" shaped loft beds for our girls abouttwo weeks before she posted these plans! As soon as I saw them we went and got our lumber. So excited to have these done and the girls love them!

I saw another post where they did horizontal 2x4s instead of stairs. I see that you did one of each. Could you tell me what your thoughts are on how the kids like them....if the 2x4 steps are easy to get up and down on....
We are adopting and we're not sure what age children we will get....so, I want to make sure they are easy to navigate. Any thoughts???
Thank you!
Tue, 09/03/2013 - 09:30
we id the stairs for our 3 year old and the ladder for our 5 year old. She has no problem getting up and downthem but our 3 year old doesn't like to come down the ladder ones. The stairs are really nice and make the bed easily accesable even for me. =)

What are the overall dimensions with the two landing areas and stairs? I really like this idea, but the bedroom is not super big. Thanks!
Followed your plans and it was so much cheaper than buying one online for over $300!!
Thank you!

This is a corner entertainment stand. I didn't have a plan to follow so I made it up as I went. The dimensions are 40" L xW and 27" tall. It has a base hidden underneath it help support the weight and is also screwed into wall studs to prevent tipping. The angle for the front cross section is 22.5 degrees. I made this for a friend. She is going to paint it unfortunately. Materials cost only around $120. 3 sheets 3/4" plywood, some 1x2s and a couple hinges and cabinet knobs.

This is REALLY a nice looking corner unit. In our living room, the ONLY place for the tv is in the corner. I have a prebuilt unit now that cost me quite a bit, and we hate it. Its all modern with glass shelves. This corner cabinet is EXACTLY what I want to build. I have a 1 year old so having doors to hide the electronics is a must.
I would VERY much like to build this. Are there any more detailed pictures or a plan I could download? Ive been searching for the last few days an just cant seem to find anything that catches my eye like this one.
Looks great!!
Sun, 01/06/2013 - 06:18
The shelves are made out of premium plywood. For the top, bottom, and the middle shelf, I measured and cut out on pieces of plywood. Then used plywood for the "walls" of the unit. I trimmed it with 1x2s. The doors are also plywood. I just rabbit jointed nice wood for the frame of the doors. Underneath the the TV stand is a 2x4 set back a little bit to give it that floating looking. It is anchored to the wall on the inside of the unit with screws going into the studs of the wall. I hope this makes since.
I needed a place to store towels and other items in my bathroom. This was the perfect project for this. I have friends begging me to make one for them. Not too hard and it definitely does the job!
