This was my first building project. It was a easy build even for a beginner. Make sure you measure your bed frame and that it will fit into your headboard.
Great plans! Made 4 of these. Only modification was I added a little piece under the arm rests to help cover the front of the arm supports
I had some cherry wood left over from a different Ana White project and used that to make this "Kid Tower" for my one year old great niece. I used dowels for the two ladder sides and furniture connectors for the other two sides. I finished it with Rubio's.

I installed a half door to isolate our dog from the laminate flooring when he sleeps at night.
It was only $25 for the hollow core 6 panel door from HD, which got cut in half.
$25 for the passage knob.
$10 for top plate and trim
Less than $5 for the hinges.
Not having to replace the laminate flooring priceless!
Some Tips:
The $25 door is not prehung. Buy the $14 dollar irwin door jig to install the door "http://www.homedepot.ca/product/door-lock-installation-kit-carbon/904157" It will come in handy if you are remodeling and installing new doors to replace those old flat panel doors. You will also have to chisel out the hinges.
When installing and marking the hinge locations in the door frame shim the door a 1/4" off the floor.
I made these windows to layer with an actual antique window I have. I made a template out of kraft paper, traced it on wood, and cut it out with a jigsaw. There are step by step instructions for making the template on my blog!
Made the move to working from home because of the pandemic. After 2 months and no end in sight, I decided I needed a better workstation. Built this in about 5 days. Really nice sturdy desk but make sure you measure how big it is first, I think I could have shrank this down by one less 2x6 on the top. It's a very large desk from the plans.
This project is the first of many FUN KIDS rooms by Breckenshear Designs. We started out using the plans for the cottage loft bed and allowed the bed design to evolve to meet the needs of our two children. Our room space was limited to 10x11 so the function of this bed was extremely important. Our daughters LOVE their new space and my partner and I look forward to creating many more fantastic rooms! Thanks Ana White for the cottage loft bed plans!

OH.MY.GOODNESS.GRACIOUS! Will you adopt me??? This is spectacular!
I needed a couple more birdhouses and this plan was perfect! They were super easy and quick to build and the pickets were on sale for $1.18, so it only cost $.59 for each house!
This was so much fun to build and it turned out really great. It was the perfect gift for my son on his fourth birthday.
We changed the bed sizes and the height but my 14 yo built these for his sister
Home Depot Rolling storage cart for our Berkey!

I built these as end tables in my living room. I made one narrower (only 14") by subtracting 3 1/2" from the end measurements and only using 4 2x4's on the top. Quick build, only about 2 hours to put together ( :) ), but the finishing took a while.
Thanks so much for the plans for this project. It was a lot of fun, and it turned out great!

Really sick! Love the contrast. Did you use treated pine?
This is my first project, based on your outdoor bar table plan. Great design. I changed the top a little, still needs a little work.
My husband made this doll bunkbeds for our granddaughters for Christmas! They loved them!!
I took on this project about 3-months, I was inspired by the excellent plans provided by fsmumford. I made a couple of modifications, adding a small bump out in the middle, to enhance the castle look, fabric covered seat cushions on the stairs, and an added 2x2 in the middle of the bed to add extra support.
Thanks to fsmumford for the awesome inspirations and great step by step guide.
This can be put together pretty quick. The finishing is what takes the longest. And I used the Kreg plugs to fill the pocket holes, which meant extra time for gluing and sanding, But they work nicely.

This just made me gasp, lovely! The stained top and painted legs look great!
This was my first project, and it took me about 2 weeks to complete it. I don't have a lot of tools, so there were many frequent little trips to Home Depot (by now I think I definitely have the basics down). I would put in an hour here and there, and was finally able to paint the beautiful thing today. I am extremely happy with how it turned out. Thank you Ana for the wonderful plans. My family and I are looking forward to many evenings on the patio on the new sofa.
Just finished this to make the most of the little good weather we get in the UK. 2x4 sofa with sectional Chaise section and coffee table
