We built this for our daughter's 6th birthday! Love how it turned out :D As you can see we opted to leave the plywood backing off for the time being so she can use it as a doll house and play on both sides. When she grows out of the doll house phase we will either convert it to a book shelf, donate, or sell in a yard sale ... so many options!
i used the full size farmhouse plan for this bed. i added the LED light strips from ebay to the bottom to give the glowing effect. i built the bed for my 3 year old so we use it as a night light. she loves it.

So cool! I love bright colors in the room. Awesome job!
This is my attempt at the 2x4 outdoor sofa. The entire sofa is made out of 2x4 Redwood, so the cost was a little high at $150 for the wood. I'm still waiting on cushions, but I went overboard and bought them custom made so the total for those came out to $520. Overall, I could have easily bought a complete set online but hey, this is more fun!
My one concern is the back support. I'm thinking of building something angled in, but haven't thought of the best approach yet, that will still look good.
I built this table for my mother-in-law. I added a brace/frame for under the top. That helped me with the angled legs. This table takes a beating at their house as she watches kids all day long. The plans produce a very sturdy table. The whole table is Dark Walnut stain and Satin Poly(oil based).
My son kept telling me he didn’t need anything for his birthday, so I asked him what would make him happy!!!! He said a new dresser for my granddaughter because he wanted to burn the one they bought her!!😄
So, I had just seen your post of this new design and it is perfect!!!! My son and granddaughter LOVE it.

My first build! Took me a while to complete, but I was in know hurry and was learning about carpentry/woodworking as I went. Overall it was a great success and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Thanks to ana-white.com!!
Built this bookcase based on the plans for the tall rustic X bookshelf, but made a couple modifications to use one entire sheet of plywood. It made for a monster bookshelf but is perfect for out needs! I also added the cross detail in the middle for extra support, I love how it turned out! I followed the tutorial that mimics restoration hardwares finish applied to originally the farmhouse table plans I think. Combination of weathered oak and special walnut stains with a satin poly.
Turned out looking amazing. My family loves it. Thank you for sharing these design plans!
My scrap wood storage boxes were overflowing so I decided to try a queen size chevron headboard (with no plans) using teak, rangas , mahogany and other select woods I had used on other projects. I used 2 coats of clear gloss lacquer. I like the way it turned out. Richard - retired
My daughter loves this! And now I have to make one for my youngest! Instead of rope I used 3/8" Bungee Shock Cord. I used one long piece and threaded it through the screw eyes. I put the screw eyes in the top, middle and bottom.
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!
Instead of rounding the tops of the headboard and footboard, I simply put a 1x2 board over the top for a more modern look. Instead of cutting out the handle for the drawer, I added a pull. This is actually the second one of these I've built. The first, I followed the plan, but this one was for my daughter's best friend, so I made her one that is the "same" yet different. I love it. Goes together quickly and always is sturdy and so nice. It's a great size for baby dolls.
I only needed to purchase the 1x12 and the 1x6. The rest was made of scraps I had on hand from other projects. Even the paint was from a previous project, and the mattress was made from a remnant.
Your beautiful Fancy X farmhouse table. We wanted to seat 8. Used your plan with the top idea from Hint of Home. We used cedar tongue and groove for the top. We are so pleased with it! Now for chairs!
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?
I was thinking of buying the conversion kit for my son's crib when I came across this bed. I modified it a little but used the base design. It came out great and this was the first time he saw it and got in it. Now all we need to do is figure out how to get him to use it!
Just made a set of your modern Adirondack Chairs. Fun and easy project. Finished with Benjamin Moore Arborcoat solid stain in Aruba Blue for a nice beachy look and weather protection. Added a cushion from Lowe’s and enjoy. Thanks for the great plans.
