Perfect little playhouse my husband built for our girls. It took about a week to build by himself, but worth every minute. He did a wonderful job. Such a good daddy!

Essential bed frame with headboard customized from various Ana's bed plans. Side table nightstand from Ana's plans - easy and simple build. Great thanks to Ana and Jen for all they do.
My buddy wanted this bed from Pottery Barn Kids but didn't want to spend $1300. It cost him $250 in materials and i built it for $300. So you DIY'ers could do it for $250. We also adjusted the size to fit a full size mattress.

Both my boys want to sleep up top I have a nice corner window seal that I'd like to put the l shaped loft at mid height double twin any suggestions also would like the entry on both ends so my 9 yr old can descend without waking my middle son would like a detachable slide in the middle
I made this for a cousin, but now I think I am going to need to make one for myself too! I used shiplap for the back instead of plywood. It cost a little more but was less effort than cutting the lines into the plywood. Plus it was already finished.
First project from Ana White plans. Thanks Ana, looks great in my coffee bar.

I really liked the design of the Rustic platform bed, and wanted to make a small version for my toddler. So I tweaked everything down to fit a toddler mattress, and then reduced the wood sizes for weight (2x6 became 1x6, 2x4 became 1x4). First built with the slats design but was way too heavy, so went with a sheet of plywood. Headboard is still 2x4 and 2x6. I also got rid of the platforms so the bed could go up against the wall. Finally, added the side rail guard so no rolling out onto the floor. That required a new tool (yay!) and I bought a biscuit joiner to make it. It took some effort to get it mounted to the bed rail, but it works. In the end, my toddler loves it, and was so excited when I brought it in. She loves having her own sized little bed that she can hop into (and out of) as she pleases. Best of all, it's strong enough if she needs us to snuggle her, we can lay next to her.
This took a lot of time and money but I like the way it looks. We have 4 kitchen cabinets and one drawer and no room for more so storage is tight.
With the arrival of our first baby in 10 days, the wife wanted a changing table. My only vision of a changing table was the ones in public restrooms. With the help of Google, I came across all the great diy ideas on this site. I combined 3 plans into 1 and came up with this. The project took 2 days to build. Next step is to prime and paint.

I live this changing table. I made the "Simple Changing Table" but would like to make this one. Are there plans for this one? Thanks!
Needed a table for our deck, but didn't want to spend the $400-500 on sets at the store. Followed the plan for the most part and it was fairly easy to build. The only thing I did differently was in building the ends was put the "X" supports in after making the "I" shape in case I was off with my cuts.
Spent an hour cutting all the pieces on a Friday night and about 3 hours assembling Saturday morning. Table was ready to eat lunch on!

This is amazing! I really want to build this, but the plans seemed really confusing to me. Did you use a kreg jig for this?

I did not use a Kreg jig because i dont havd one and I didn't try to hide my screws. I did pre-drill all my holes so that I didn't split any boards... and my dad is a carpenter so he helped me attach the 2 cross pieces (which is the only part I had trouble with) to the ends, which we did by just angling the screws in. I will try to take a few more detailed pics in the next few days so you can get a better idea of how I did it.

Posted an explanation of how I made the side pieces. Hope it helps!

Hi, great build !
Could you please explain how and from where did you screw the curved pieces at the bases ?
same question for the table top boards ?
Thank you!

If you look at the first drawing I have attached it will show you where to screw the curved pieces in. I screwed through the 1 x 4 to attach the smaller curved piece. Then I would screw through the larger curved piece into the smaller curved piece to attach it.
The table top pieces I screwed in from the top into the side pieces that you build first. I used 2 screws per board per side. The 2 boards in the middle should have screws at least 2 inches in from each side. The 2 boards on the end will have one set of screws 2 inches from the side that is next to the boards in the middle. The second set of screws will end up in about the middle of the outside boards. I'm going to attach another drawing to explain. Let me know if this helps.

I plan on building the table this week, will use your advice. Much appreciated.

Thank you for posting this. I started the project yesterday and I started with putting the cross braces on first and it did not turn out leveled. I thought that I would try to put it together first and then add the cross braces but was scared if it would hold. Thanks to your post I feel more confidant about it. I am going to make a run to the big box store and start over. Its okay because this is my very first build and I am just happy with my first 45 degree cut with my new circular saw ;) I guess its a learning process.
Thanks again for your post,
Gus

Glad I could help! Good luck with your build!!!
My wife and I were looking for a way to make our deck more enjoyable. I came across Ana's plans a year or so ago, and after building the couch and chairs, I decided to make a loveseat, add a rug and outdoor curtains. Hopefully one day I'll add some lights and an outdoor fan to complete the look.
This is a simple shelf to hold the reference books I keep on my desk at work. That's now how it started out though. It was supposed to be a laptop stand, but a small mistake turned it into this. Rather than toss it as scrap, I decided to make lemonade.
I'd love to link a plan, but all you really need to do is take a 1x10, cut legs (mine are 8 inches long), and join them to the ends with pocket hole screws.
We built this for our daughter's 6th birthday! Love how it turned out :D As you can see we opted to leave the plywood backing off for the time being so she can use it as a doll house and play on both sides. When she grows out of the doll house phase we will either convert it to a book shelf, donate, or sell in a yard sale ... so many options!
My daughter loves this! And now I have to make one for my youngest! Instead of rope I used 3/8" Bungee Shock Cord. I used one long piece and threaded it through the screw eyes. I put the screw eyes in the top, middle and bottom.
We wanted a place for the kids to play when the weather outside is unbearable. So, we modified the camp loft bunk bed plan to work in our game room. We have a pool table in the room and we didn't want it to interfere with any shots. Subsequently, we cut the width down to 24 inches and extended the length to 93 inches to fit in our space. Additionally, we pre-ordered a slide that had to be mounted at 48 inches and measured 71 inches in length. So, my husband framed it out so the planks that are meant to hold the mattress would sit right at 48 inches and we could mount the slide. This has been the best idea ever for our kids, because they can't get enough of sliding and swinging indoors.

Loved this project. Paid back with hours of giggles and fun. :)
I loved this project as soon as I saw it on Ana's site. I made a few changes to the plans in order to suit my needs and also as an excuse to use my new tools. I left out the cross supports in order to accomodate storage underneath the stool and it still retains exceptional strength without the supports. I also used my new router to round the edges on the top peice to give it a more finished feel. I'm really happy with the results and have made multiple for friends and family, both painted and stained.
Potting bench I made for my daughter as a housewarming gift to her newly built home. Easy plans! It was a great build.

I saw this table and nesting grill station on your FB page. I changes it up a little bit, but the concept is perfect for my back yard deck.

I’ve built the greenhouse for your plans, but I love it.
