Queen bed frame combo Farmhouse/Brookstone with Pecan/Expresso stain
![](/sites/default/files/3154821984_1360629515.jpg)
This was a blast. Thanks so much for the plans Ana, as well as for all the comments after the plans, which help a lot too. I did a combo, and it worked wonderfully! I made a little more work for myself than I needed to, but for a first project, I feel proud of myself...and can't wait for my next project.

Ashley Makes: Clothesline Picture Frame
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_20121228_131837.jpg)
This was a quick weekend project. I built two: one for myself and another for a sister. I really like this frame. It's a neat way of displaying photos.
You can check out my blog for more build details.

Modern Toy Box

I had a wonderful time making this toy box and learning new techniques. Having access to a table saw really made this project turn out awesome. I was able to get 1/4" shims made that allowed for easy, precise offsets. The family just loved it!
Hall Tree x2 with Bench
![](/sites/default/files/0BAE9C65-51FF-4B78-B549-6451AC1D367D.jpeg)
My kids outgrew the original locker I built for them. Plus we have adopted 2 kids through foster care. So my wife asked for a new locker. I found this design on the website and determined we needed 2. Then to make it better we wanted a bench to connect the 2. So I built a 3rd bottom of the locker and adjusted the measurements for the space we had. Turned out amazing.

These are my wooden magazine files made after looking at Ana's plans. I chose to paint these to match my bathroom.

Great idea for corraling the magazines that pile up in the bathroom! I really like the colors, too.
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
Tryde coffee table

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.

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.

American Girl Dollhouse
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_3639.jpg)
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.

Cabin Bed for Toddler
![](/sites/default/files/IMG_20170326_182948568.jpg)
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.
New King Size Bed
![](/sites/default/files/20210124_124239_1.jpg)
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!
Corner Cabinet - Large
![](/sites/default/files/3154822506_1361406301.jpg)
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.

Storage Bed Collection for son
![](/sites/default/files/luke-storage-bed.jpg)
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.

The littlest tower helper

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
