This was made for a friend. I looked up Ana's original plan and modified it a little. The end result was something she was very happy with.

I was in love with the plans, but I knew it needed to be wider to fit my space and be usable. Plus, I didn't want to have the space in the back for stools. I wanted something that had a good amount of storage so I extended the box that was the shelf area and did away with the back board and side boards. I also extended the drawers to the back of the piece.

this was super easy and a quick project!  used some wood I already had and it worked perfect for my toddler son's bedroom!

King Sized bed with Storage. Added a found headboard and found Nightstands!

A novice at best

After over a year of other projects, I finally had the chance to completely redesign our master closet! I used EasyClosets.com to come up with the design again. :)  I still have a few more tweaks here and there, but I absolutely love it! I surprised my husband for his birthday by doing this project while he was on a business trip. :)

Other than mounting these boxes to the studs, this project was built exclusively with my Kreg Jig. I drilled all of the adjustable shelving holes with a nifty Rockler Jig-It shelving jig - wish it had been the Kreg shelving jig, but I bought mine before Kreg came out with theirs. The Rockler one works great - I just love Kreg's stuff so I'm sure theirs is awesome too.  ;)

I begged Kreg to let me buy their new circular saw rip cut product early for this project, but they said no.  :-(  Bummer because I saw Ana using hers and was so jealous!  I had to rip all of my plywood the old fashioned way on the floor with my circular saw and lots of clamps.  Yuck!

This time around, I used birch plywood.  I used white pre-drilled melamine for both of my daughters closets (brag post here), but I didn't like working with that stuff.  Too sharp, slippery and HEAVY.  I did our spare bedroom closet with pine 1x12 boards a few months back. I think I liked working with the pine best..

After a few months, I purchased a bunch of Closetmaid Fabric Bins/Drawers and they look so good!

Love this bed! Fell in love after seeing it here and on That's My Letter, so my dad and I built the beds according to the plans (did add a center support under the mattress) and I made all the bedding. My daughters' dolls love their new bedroom set!

I loved the design of the desk, but needed it to be just a little higher so I could use it as a standing desk in my office. (So I'm not sitting ALL day). The plans were easy to understand and very clear.

Thank you Ana....You are awesome!!!

Tablesaw workbench. Clears up so much room in the garage when not using the tablesaw!

I decided to take the Kentwood nightstand and add my own spring time twist to it. I got bored and built this out of spare wood in the garage and free paint from Ace. I think it turned out pretty well.

My girls love Monster High so we did black , Magenta to go with all their Monster High dolls and sets.

Our version of Anas' Kitchen Prep Cart .... We are in Australia which means we pretty much work by metric.. so the handyman of the house converted all measurements and we used what recycled timber, screws, hinges etc that we had on hand. The making of this all came about as handyman of the house brought home a chunk of timber offcut and I was thinking.. what can we do with this?? lol

Thank You for this Headboard Plan. It was very easy. Other than painting it I completed it in less than 3 hours. A nail gun sure saves some time. Everyone loved it. They wanted me to put clear coat on it because it looked really good, but I ended up painting it to match my other bedroom furniture which is Black.

Only one cut and easy-to-follow instructions make for a kid-sized reading nook that you can build today!

This is a simple project that comes together in an hour or less. You need recycled material for the panels and approximately $20 worth of supplies, assuming you own a drill, staple gun and wrench.

This was my first DIY furniture project and I am so thrilled with the outcome that I am already trying to figure out what to make next! I made all my measurements and then had all of the wood cut to size at Home Depot. The assembly went much more quickly and smoothly than I had anticipated.This is a very sturdy piece of furniture. My 6 & 8 year-old girls were so excited to have the trundle put together. They have been taking turns sleeping on it and are even pulling it out to have a comfy spot to read or crochet. Thank you Ana, I am SO HAPPY to have found your site!
