Or use the same plans with the exception of I extended the height so I could actually walk into the run fairly simple to assemble I would strongly recommend an air compressor staple gun or you'll end up with four arms like Popeye
Followed Ana White's Doll Bunk Beds for American Girl and added a Trundle Bed using a few small modifications. Ana's plans were easy to follow and I was able to complete this in an afternoon.
My Midcentury Farmhouse Bed. Finished at last. Managed to convert your imperial measurements to metric.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful build, it looks great!
My husband is deployed and I just decided to start building, to keep my mind busy. I built this table & benches, sanded, stained it & had it in my nook in just 6 days!!! I worked on it every night when the kids went to bed. Thank you Ana White!! :) I will be using this site quite a bit to keep me busy!

. They were made exactly according to the above referenced plans.
My daughter's closet was a nightmare and helter-skelter with a lot of wasted space after we moved into our house. So I decided one day I was done with the mess and built this to suit her needs. I used 3/4 plywood, closet rods cut to size, and adjustable shelving. When she's bigger, I can pull the shelves out if needed for taller closet hanging but for now this works pretty good. She's kept it pretty clean 3 years later.
Santa Claus made our lucky girl a farmhouse bed for her new doll that was an exact mini-me of Mommy and Daddy's king farmhouse bed. Not just that, her grandmother was genererous enough to sew a new blanket and pillow for both our daughter and her dolls using some quilting materials left by her late-great grandmother. She also created a doll mattress some padding material that was used by our daughter's late-great grandfather.
Not a hard project.
My husband and I loved this plan and created a few original touches. Like many other of Ana’s plans, we enjoyed making it.
I made these for a friend and just loved how they turned out. I liked the stained and black combo it turned out pretty good. I will be making some more for my son and and friend of his along with the sofa as an addition.

I'm SUPREMELY impressed with how well these came out. And just to beat the dead horse.... paint your stuff before you put it together. I didn't and it is a MAJOR pain painting between the slats, man. Major. I'm a little impatient. And impulsive.

Ana, thank you so much for the plans, this site, everything. You're an incredible part of this universe.

did you install the legs on the inside of the table top? from the pictures it looks like you did, I like the way it looks and how you finished the top with stain the rest with paint.
This was my first real project where I did everything on my own, start to finish! No help from my husband. I needed a very small and narrow table for my entryway which is very small. This is the first thing you see when you open the front door. The top board is a 12" board, it fits perfectly in the space. I distressed it to give it a nice rustic look and it looks pretty authentic. The crate below is made of recycled pallet wood and will be used for shoes or umbrellas... I'm very happy with the way it turned out for being my first project (it's a tiny bit wobbly..the leg's aren't perfect, oh well!). And it only cost about $30 for the lumber (not including the stain, paint or finishing wax which I already had). Definitely beats trying to find something in the store!
I love the look of this bookshelf, thank you so much for the idea.
I definitely recommend to cut the crossing boards each at a time as they differ even if in milimiters.
Great little project from your site!
I put PVC to the ground vs the metal siding and added a heat sink in the middle with some old computer fans.

That PVC heat pipe intrigues me. Can you share a little more about it? I'm assuming it pulls hot air from the upper vent, and cools it down via the section of pipe below ground, sort of like a natural A/C. Keeps things from gettting too hot during the summer months?
Kinda looks like you'd frequently trip over it though. I'd probably have run the lower exhaust right up by the edge of the door frame, or a corner.
All from pallet wood! Hides and protects gifts from toddlers, puppies, & curious adults!
It is a collapsible build to go around a plastic fold up table. 4 sides come apart for easy storage in attic. Great for parties on the go for catering!

Recently, I wanted a redo of my mismatched furniture in my sewing room. When I was planning what to do, I decided I needed storage for my sewing books and a place to put my printer. I searched your site for plans (as usual). I found the corner bookshelf that was almost perfect. I had my boyfriend build it for me, but it needed to be just a little taller and a little wider to work with my desk. It turned out fabulous! Thanks for all the great plans you have. They are great inspirations!
I asked my daughter what see wanted for her birthday. I offered to make her anything from Ana's website. I was thinking coffee table, maybe side tables, maybe even a cute bench for her entryway. No. In true fashion she chose the King Storage Bed. But that wasn't good enough. She wanted the FarmHouse Headboard to go with it. Made some modifications and VIOLA....here it is. I added a couple of different pictures. I just didn't care for the grey comforter. The White one makes the Headboard POP!
Got this idea while driving on the interstate and was able to snap a quick picture (I wasn't driving). Used plans for 2x4 garden benches and made them the dimensions of my dad and Grandpa's mule. Now we more can go for a trail ride! That's why I added cupholders!

My son's kindergarten teacher had a table top puppet theater on her "wish list" from an online store - but it cost $70 and I knew there's no way i could buy that. But just one look at it made me realize I could build my own. My son and I built it in just a couple hours and then took some extra time for sanding and spray painting. I had all the kids in the class sign their names on the sides and I used chalk board paint on the top sign so the kids can write their own show title or time, etc. There's a place to keep the chalk in the back. We presented this gift to my son's teacher at the end of Teacher Appreciation week, and it was a huge hit!
