For the cut list & instructions (:
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!

I followed the plans for the Dream Dollhouse. (The text in the description is the link to the actual plans) It. Is. HUGE. I'm not familiar with the American Girl dolls, but this should fit nearly anything and could be modified easily if you had to make it bigger or only 2 stories.

Great job! This is also on my list of to dos for Christmas. I'm sure your little one will love it for years to come. :) The spiral staircase was a great idea and makes this so unique.
Built this bunk bed for my two boys. Used the sweet pea storage stairs plan as a starting point and altered things from there to suit. The wall is just 3/8 plywood cut into planks and painted various colours.
made from rough cut ash, Very Interesting project
We started with the bench seating plans and adjusted them to fit our dimensions. added wallpaper, changed the lighting, and a couple cushions later... We have a totally transformed window seat! Loved doing this project!
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!

Your microwave is really clever! What a beautiful kitchen set. Way to go!

Absolutely adorable!! I made one too. Hopefully I will post mine later on today. How did you attach your knobs? Do they turn?
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!
Helped my friend make these cute night stands over two weekends (one Saturday each)
A few tips: Make sure the wood is the same size (* 1 inch)
Using the Kreg Jig, we attached all the sides together using 1 inch screws
The second one turned out better from the first...I guess we learned a few things!
Thanks Ana White! You rock!!
Used Douglas from Lowes and used a jointer and planer to get everything square. Also used eight 2'x6's on the top to allow to properly use the jointer. Also used biscuits in addition to pocket holes to hold everything togther

Gorgeous table build! The extra steps really paid off!
I had an existing silverware tray that was sliding around the drawer every time it opened and closed.
the stick on method was the ticket to quickly and easily creating dividers for around the silverware tray
love this method!!!
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.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!! WOW, this is so incredible! Great work!
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.
Buit this for our master bedroom.
So the kids love to climb, mine probably more than most so we did a summer break project! So we looked around online and there's really nothing there for a home climbing wall to fit our needs, so we just like made it up.
I bought 9 planks of the heaviest plywood they had at walmart and ordered climbing grab handles from amazon in multi color but then we realized that it just looked a bit boring for this funnest thing ever!
So we went online to look for a good paint for plywood, but something that would also add some grip for the kids. So we found this bedliner called durabak was really highly recommended all ovr the internet for use on plywood, mainly by boats and stuff.
So we called durabakcompany.com and their customer service was literally the most patient and best I think I've ever dealt with, They had so much patience and gave me lots of ideas and said that Durabak gets used a lot on climbing walls! Yay!
They gave me the idea to go with dark blue and dark grey and draw out a random pattern and paint it all with 3 coats of Durabak and it just looks so awesome I bring everyone up to see it now. The kids totally love it and it just makes me so proud that I built that thing with my kids! They're super psyched about it too.
"Thank you Ana White for your plans I'm in love!"

So beautiful! I love the colors and farmhouse apron sink!

Looks awesome. Love seeing everybody's kitchen. Do you have more pics of the sink?
Sun, 01/08/2012 - 16:12
Thanks! I'll try to post more pics of the sink soon.

This is so cute! What did you use for the burners?
Thu, 07/14/2016 - 15:41
Question what did you use for your handles? This is beautiful. I'm hoping to make once close to it for my son's 2nd Bday
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.
I fell in love with this design right away, and rushed out to buy the wood. The build itself was super quick... 4-6 hours start to finish. Oxidizing the wood took a lot of trial and error... I was hoping for a more grey look like the plans showed, but I ended up with a richer brown. Still love it!

Love this! I think the color is beautiful! Thanks much for sending in a brag post.
We have gone through several sets of deck furniture at our home in Monument, Colorado. We like wicker, but so do the squirrels! Inspired by an article in the Wall Street Journal where the author used his wood shop experience to make outdoor furniture and avoid "astronomical prices," I found this site. I thought, "Even I can build something out of 2x4s." I borrowed my neighbor's high-end chop saw and made two chairs, a love seat (by cutting the dimensions of the 79" sofa - three cushions - down to 55" - two cushions, and the coffee table, cut down from 55" to 47". Construction took less than two weeks from purchasing the wood to finishing. Everyone who has seen the finished set loves it.
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!

These are soo cute! However I have looked high and low for the 1x1 square trim, all I have found are the 1x1 4 footers for around $4 each! Is this what everyone is using? I dont have a table saw! and our lowes nor Home Depot would wanna rip wood so small!
Thu, 01/05/2012 - 16:35
Yes - unfortuanely that's what I had to do. That's why the final cost came to $20. I tried to come up with another stair tread idea but ended up just buying the 1 x 1's. If you don't mind the look of round and square rungs, you could consider using a round dowel. They're much cheaper than square and can be found at Walmart for less than $1.
