Building this dollhouse was fast and pretty easy, but finishing it was super time-consuming. It should be big enough for her dolls...and dinosaurs. LOVE how it turned out and am so excited (for Santa) to give this to our 3 year old for Christmas!!!
Thank you, Ana for the plans!

So I didn't build it myself but I just wanted to brag anyway. David built these for my sunroom. We changed the dimensions a bit on the shorter bench and didn't put a back on them. He also cut a corner piece so there's not a hole there. I love them. I will paint them, gray with orange and blue accents.

This was my first wood working project, and I made all the cuts myself (I'm pretty proud of myself!!). I only had a cordless drill when I started this project. Through good sales and craigslist, I ended up with a circular saw, a jigsaw, and an orbital sander to complete this project, plus I built myself a really nice large workbench so I had somewhere to work! It turned out very well, and my girls love it. I made some modifications by making the sink and stove 22" tall instead of 20" tall to better accommodate my 5.5 year old while allowing my 22 month old to be able to play too. Instead of putting a curtain on the front of the sink, I turned the upper shelf area into a microwave by lowering the shelf some to make the area larger, and added a flexible rubber calculator as the microwave keypad. This is my 5 year old's favorite part of the kitchen!

We had to modify the plans by a few inches to fit the space and we changed some other details to make it look more like a castle. But it came out awesome and our daughter loves it!

I made this taller and added and extra shelf. I also didn't add the angle cuts and for the front pieces. It was so easy and I built it within three hours with my 8 yr. old son.

Here is a brand new piece I just made for holding my extra computer components. It is wholly made of American Black Walnut (juglans nigra). It took about four months to make. The original, from which this is copied, was made in Williamsburg, VA in 1765. When I first saw it, I fell in love at first site and had to make it. It was made with rough lumber, nothing pre-milled. I found 16 1/2" wide walnut which I used to make the single-panel doors. I think it looks great and is faithful to the original.

This was built out of Douglas Fir (2x4's) and Pine (1x4's) and was painted in the color espresso (Behr). I used Minwax Helmsman Spar Urethane to seal it with a semi-gloss coating as well.

Needed to add a buffet console to the empty wall in our formal dining room.

I needed something to hide the exterior of my 7 yr old, hard used ice chests. I saw this and modified it to fit my ice chests. Love them!

I'm a newbie to wood work and am so glad I found this site! I made these in July and am working at getting better at it.

Thank you so much for these plans! 2 weeks worth of nap time building and my daughter has an awesome new bed! 

Fun and rewarding projects to finish. Took me way too long to finish, but 2 sever TBIs will do that to a person. Made a few modifications to the original King and nightstand plans but worked out fine. Thanks for these plans Ana!

I saw this plan and wished I knew some little girls who needed this bunkbed! Two weeks later, my neighbors little girls came over with two of their Christmas gifts - American Girl dolls! I went out the next day to buy the supplies and now have it finished to give to them after school this afternoon!

I had so much fun building this project. It came together really easily, and added the perfect touch to our dining room to make it feel nice and homey. I have since added the cabinet doors to the bottom shelf... more pictures to come.
