Hi I was tired to see the magpies and flickers destroying the nest and kill the sparrows After days of research i came up with this model that i tested last summer and believe me, it was successfully accepted by sparrows This year i made bunch of them, some different models till i get to the yellow one style that is perfect I really loved it and i'm here sharing it with you guys I will share plan for this bird house in my Instagram next week (June 12)

I designed this off of the laundry basket holder.

This is a mix the "Side-Street bunkbed" plan and the "How to Build a Loft Bed." I used "Spax" 3 inch wood screws to attach the side rails instead of bolts used in Side Street plan.  I used KregJig pocket holes for everything else. 

Lots of fun building all of this - very easy to do as well. Built a coffee table, 2 end tables, 2 console tables, and the book case. I changed a couple things up like doing 1x4 instead of 2x6 for the tops, and used the advice on aging/oxidizing the boards as well.

This was a particularly fun build for me since it was for my little guys' room! Hope Santa fills it with tech goodies on Christmas!! Please check out the details on my website! Happy Holidays!!! :D

After contacting two cabinetry carpenters to do this project for me,  I came upon Ana's plan for the Momplex. I made some adjustments for my home abd surprised myself. 

My motto "what's the worse that can happen? I have to call someone! "

Thanks for being there, love your designs

I needed a closet organizer for my daughter's room that could grow and change with her age. Right now it needed to have lots of shelves at her height to hold the massive amount of stuff an 8 year old can accumulate.

Once she transitions out of the toys, I plan on moving the shelves all to one side or the other for shoes, and adding another rod. Another possibility is shoes in the door organizer and 4 sections of hanging clothes...regardless, the end result has options that will grow with her!

I was able to keep the cost of this down because I used all scrap plywood to make the drawers. I did splurge in S4S pine lumber rather than trying to make rougher cuts nice.

On the left door is Ana's Behind Closet Door Storage plan as well :)

My husband and I built this together. Once we figured out how to use a Kreg Jig it was sooo easy!! I stained the top in English Chestnut and then chalk painted the based.

Very versatile and easy to build design. With some tweaking I was able to build a bookshelf, hall table and coffee station fro the same basic plan. End tables are next!

I built this 3 times, the first time, I wanted to beef it up, so I took it apart and decided that I was going to use a frame to make it more sturdy. This was for my 6'4 football playing husband, wanted a place for his sweats, jerseys, etc, so the 2nd one is the white beadboard one in the pic....Then, when I finally did move it into the house, boy I missed it in the garage. I had been using the baskets for my paint brushes, tack clothes, tarps, etc.....So, I built another one, just for me and my sundries. That's the one you see in the pic that is just the frame with baskets. My 180 6 ft tall son actually was caught sitting on top of it, and I'm proud to say, it held, no problem. I love Ana's plans, you can follow to the tee, always a good idea, or add in your own flavor. It's like adding your own spice to the soup. This is one of my favorite pieces to build, used my kreg, and the one that gets the most compliments and requests. For the top, I didn't have a 1x16 on hand, so I kregged together 2 1x8's. Absolutely beautiful.

Entry way bench made from some 3.5 by 3.5 inch posts, 2 by 8 for the top and 2 by 4 for the rails and under seat supports. Finished in Varathane Kona.

4 feet long, 17 inches to top of seat and 14.5 inches wide.
