I made two different versions and reversed side the ladders were on. I learned from the mistakes I made on the first bed and the second one came together a little easier.
I left them natural and the girls will pick a paint color in the spring.
Although I can sew, my wife made both sets of mattresses along with a bunch of doll clothes.
Mudroom area by my front door. Perfect for removing shoes, hanging jackets, etc. For the top I used two old cabinets that were on their way to the trash. It was easy to build shelves between them. For the back I used beadboard from Home Depot. It was 1/4" thick and 4x8. The bench pulls out easily, because there is an outlet behind it, and an air register beneath it. (That's why I left the front toe-kick open.) The rail with hooks came pre-assembled from Home Deopt, but I had to paint it black.

Form and function! =D Love the black chalk paint with the globe and brown accents - striking modern old world look!
This nightstand was insprired by the Farmhouse Bedside Table. I was looking for ideas for a simple nightstand with a drawer and the Farmhouse Bedside Table was almost exactly the style I was looking for. I used solid walnut which accounts for a majority of the cost. Typically I would use motise and tennon joints for something like this but decided to try pocket hole joinery in an effort to save some time. Overall, it worked well with the exception of the top rails. When I attempted to screw the top rail to the leg, the screw split the leg likey because of the screw going in so close to the edge. Instead, I just glued and clamped the top rails.
One unique feature is a power strip mounted in the back. The drawer depth is reduced to make room for a 3 outlet power strip with 2 USB charging ports so that phone/tablets can be charged.
The plans for this headboard are great. Very easy to follow and the cut list is spot on. I used some choice pine from Lowe’s ($63) and then used the vinegar with steel wool mixture to age the wood. That’s where this piece is at right now. Trying to decide if I want to leave it or put a light satin clear coat.
Thank you for the plans!!
OK.....I added 2 more pics. I added 1 coat of Satin Clear Poly witch gave it a richer look.
Using the tall cake stand plan I found it doubles as a drink dispenser stand when not being used for cakes.
Ana's simple, cheap and easy console table, made entirely with repurposed and scrap wood, so it was free! The plan was great, and it was easy to adjust to the wood I had on hand. The distressed finish was fun to do too.
I wanted to make a sturdy bed that was rustic and old looking but still kind of modern... I looked at google images and a photo of Ana's bed popped up. I started with new fir from Home Depot but wanted a good weathered look, so I spent extra time and effort on the distressing. It turned out just like I was hoping!

The light and dark variations in your finish make your project very unique! Nice work!

This was my first "big" project. I built it for Thanksgiving. I recently bought a home, and everyone wanted to have Thanksgiving at my new home I had no table, so I built one. Can't wait to start my next project. Love the site!
We used 2x6s on the sides so we wouldn't have a ledge on the side of the bed. Everything still lined up really well! We also used brackets to put the sides onto the headboard and footboard. It made it easier to put together and seems sturdier.

I thought about doing brackets too, but not sure how that would work w/the cleets on each side for the slats.
Been loving our Ana White plans!! The table and shelves turned out exactly how we wanted them to & they were SO much cheaper than paying for lesser quality furniture store finds. We’ve received so many compliments!
This project is all about using a Kreg Jig. My daughter asked for some shadowboxes to go around her chalkboard. 1 piece of 3/4" plywood and a few 1x2's later - here it is. It's really just an 8' x 2' box with the window panes inside - super simple, but does require a compact drill. Mounted to the wall using a ledger board underneath, then, pocket holes in the top shelf to join it to the studs. Quite sturdy. One day I'll learn Sketch-Up well enough to make this into a plan.
This was my second solo project. I built it for my mom's kitchen to replace her old kitchen table. I absolutely love how it turned out. It is big and functional. Come see how I built it on my blog.
Just wanted to do something a little more original.

Hi. Are there any plans for this piece using the lift top hardware?
Wed, 12/21/2016 - 20:46
Just curious about the hardware and design if there are any actual plans for this coffee table

Where can plans for this lift top version be found?
seven years ago we built this bed. It takes the place of needing a dresser. See more on my Instagram account.
Double trash can cabinet made of plywood. Included soft close hinge. Holds 2 13 gallon cans.

So much better than a regular garbage can! Thanks for sharing your version, it looks fabulous.
I looked ALL OVER for a bedside table that met my demands and my budget. It did not exsist. I found the Farmhouse Bedside Table and fell in love with it! It was definately a more tricky build, and my husband and I learned ALOT about what we know and what we don't know about tools, wood, angles, measurements, etc. But it was a fun project to do together and I just LOVE how it turned out! We definately surprised ourselves on this one! Only about $35, not too shabby! Only piece of advice would be to measure and cut as you go- some of the measurements didn't work out for us (not sure why...) but we were glad we didn't cut them ahead of time! We measured everypiece and double checked it. But we are new to work working, so cut at your own risk :)
This is my take on the Laundry basket dresser. I started with the idea based on many photos I found on this site, but made some updates/improvements (well they are improvements in my mind anyway). Please view the last picture that has text for explanations of the "features" of my design.
I did some quick drawings in Sketchup, and then did some work in the workshop. I don't have exacting plans on the exact measurements, but you'd probably need to tweak for the size basket you plan to use.
I built this for my son's beach room. We stained the roof to match his dresser and built him a ladder as well.
I love the ease of your plans.
