Toddler Bed
We used the idea of the traditional wood toddler bed but modified it to get the look we were going for.

I took a different direction on the doors instead of using the barn doors I used old wooden windows in place of them.
This was my first”big” project beyond doing your blanket ladder and a noodle board. This build was a lot of fun and I have people interested in having me make these chairs for them. Thank you so much for the plans and all that you do. Best wishes for a great New Year
This table cost around 35.00 to make and a couple of hours to build. I used the dark walnut stain twice and polycrylic. Very sturdy, good looking table.

Thank you. We were surprised how pretty the stain turned out.
Paint color krypton blue ocean breeze gloss.
My husband just used Ana’s plans to create my Dream craft table.
My husband and I used your instructions and made this bench! We are further furnishing our home, and we love it! We went with a weathered gray stain to match some other furniture we have.
I made a few changes from the plans but the size remained the same ( which is huge!!).I used birch plywood for the frame and MDF 1x2 for the faceframe and window and door trim. I would reccommend cutting the windows and doors 1/8"-1/4" smaller and using a router with a flush trim bit with a top of bottom bearing. Clamp a straight edge along the window and door openings to trace with the bearing of the router bit. For the roof I used tougue and groove 4" beadboard made of pine. I used 10' lengths because of the 49" width. They were actually a better price than the regular 1x4 pine. The beadboard adds a little detail the the ceiling of the 3rd floor. It also gives a shingle-like appearance on the flipside with the textured spraypaint. The pieces on the front are 2.5" wide. I also filled the ends with wood putty to hide the exposed groove.

Hi, this dollhouse is amazing!!! Love all the mods and the building tips - the extra work really pays off big!!! Thanks for sharing, it's beautiful!
Loved the twin sized cabin bed but my grandson is a few years away from needing a big boy bed. Husband scaled down the plans and this is what we came up with.
Hi Y'all
I start using the king size bed plan from Ana.
It turns out great. I change a couple things on the build.
1. Our mattress are 12" high. The mattress frame support from the plan are made for less thinner mattress.
2. I made a nicer insert frame for the Head- and footboard.
3. We stained in a two color tone.
4. Every comer is routed out. See the top board on the Head- and Footboard.
I had a grate time to build it.
Keep building

Great build, love the two tone finish! Thanks for sharing!
I built this larger than the specs given because I wanted it to hold more. 12in shelves with an 8in back just seemed way too small. That would hold a plant or a bowl (as seen in the other brags). This can hold a plant *and* a bowl. If your space can accomodate it, I suggest making this larger.
This has shelves 16in deep and the back is 10in wide. This resulted in a front profile of about 42in across and a side depth of about 30in. I also added two cross members (?) over the shelves to give it a more finished look
Attach the back to the shelves first and then measure the rest from there. The materials list is modified as follows: back = 1x10x6ft, shelves = 2 x 3/4in by 16in by 8ft (will be enough to make all 6 shelves).
Pine back and shelves but I went with fir for the front frame/doors because the fir was much straighter and less prone to warping. It was my first time using a pocket hole jig. You gotta love that thing. The only other tool we used was a jig saw and a nice long straight edge (and a chop saw - helps with accuracy when building the frames).
Total cost of project was around $300 but considering we couldn't find anything like this in any store, and it fit our needs perfectly, it was well worth the time, cost and effort. The pictures don't do it justice.
Thank you Ana! It was just what we were looking for.
Built from the storage bed collection as one of my sons Christmas presents. He loved it so much he cried. This is the first project that I have built and I think that it went rather well. I can honestly say I am now hooked.
Hello everyone
Just wanted to thank everyone for there great cabin beds and anna white for the amazing plans. My husband and I found them super easy to follow and create. I highly reccomend some stairs our little guy is still only 20 months hes a little short getting in and out... currently the step stools working great.
We had a blast making it !
My variation of the "Littlest tower help" plans I found here on Ana white. I loved the design of the original but wanted it to be able to easily store away when not in use. Thanks for looking, Eric
We are in the unique position of having stairs in our bedroom and they take up quite a lot of room. We considered putting a chair and set of drawers under the stairs but they would have looked cramped.
Having done some research we found some photos where people had built benches under the stairs. It was around this time that we found Ana White's plan for framing up a mud room bench in a nook (which for some reason I can't add to the 'built from' section). We had to adapt it as the original plan was framed by 3 walls and due to the angle of the stairs we could only use 2 and added legs. We also had to add triangular panels to give it that built-in look.
We were able to complete the build for relatively cheap as we kept a ton of 2x2 from when we removed a 60s built in wardrobe and was able to rebuild it. If you look behind the drawers you can even see that the wood is notched from the wardrobe hinges but in a nice way it keeps the old owners work in the house.
I have this wood I saved from a gate I took down for my parents. It had been up for 20 years, and the wood had taken a beating from the weather, but I couldn't throw it away. I made this Xmas tree shelf for my daughter for Christmas. I really liked the look of the raw, weathered wood. I didn't even take the lichen off. Luckily she loves the weathered look, too.
Super fun project for a beginner. I almost want to do it over now that I have a pocket hole jig. Love Ana White plans, easy to follow.
Well now that I've been off for a couple weeks during the holidays and starting to build the kids all want something. So I made them some boxes.
The 2-drawer was the most time consuming. Made from 1 Cedar picket fence.
The others 2 where just from scraps left over from other projects.
