my wife tagged me on facebook right before Xmas with the plans and picture of this, so i dusted off my tools and built her one as a present. its not only great for her but it makes the laundry easier for me as well. I had to mofidy the base of mine because my dryer vent comes up through the floor in the corner.

When we moved into our new house, I figured it was time to replace my girls's mattresses on the floor with actual beds. so I set about making the twin storage beds with corner unit. I primed all the wood prior to cutting and assembling, and that made things go much faster. Assembling the corner unit was tricky, since i really didn't want to have sanding and much paint in their bedroom. (i loaded in the beds first and the corner unit a week later). I added trim that wasn't on the plan, and also used the magnetic paint on the center area, although it makes a weak magnetic surface. All in all, I LOVE the way it turns out and no one can believe that I built it and didn't buy it... (although it seems obvious to me when you look closely LOL)

This project was born out of desperation for some way to organize our garage. It is not difficult to build, and it went pretty quickly with two of us. It probably didn't take more than four hours tops for each section. I've seen the prices for garage storage components and some of them are staggering! We have removed a tall chrome shelf, and moved a ton of stuff onto these shelves, creating a hundred square feet of floor space! And for only $25! Come on over and check it out on my blog! Val

My wife wanted an antiqued turquiose headboard for our beach house. Your plans and dimensions worked perfectly. I added the center support to bring the warped boards into compliance. Thank you Ana ...

Used the plans here, but adjusted to fit my own hampers and to use all scraps on hand, including leftover primer and paint. Completly FREE build!

A lap desk for each Grandkid. They love using them for watching TV, reading, and a flat surface for building Lego castles...

Just a couple of suggestions. First the holes must be drilled exactly in the middle of the leg and the frame or the leg will not fold properly. I suggest placing the hole about 1/16" off center and then sanding the leg to make it flush when folded. Second the bolt only needs to be 2". I also used my $30 trim router from Harbor Freight to round-over all of the exposed edges.

I made a simple rolling crate, and put it on its sides. Attached casters on the bottom. I used my scrap 2x4's for the top. Boom! A beautiful rolling side table with storage.

Farmhouse doll bed modified one slat narrower.

This Pergola cost around 200 to build for lumber, concrete (poured around posts) and an additional 50-60 for fabric used to create shade.

It went up in about 8 hours from start to finish with the help of a novice friend.

I omitted some of the column details to save time and money.

This was a lot of fun. Altered it to make it 44" x 44". 4 seater

After seeing the many posts on here about the great laundry basket dresser, my husband and I embarked on our first project. I knew I wanted the double dresser with the counter for folding on top. We love how it turned out! Since this picture, I have added shelves on the far left section. I also chose to use 1x2 for the slats instead of the "L" shaped pieces of steel.

We wanted a table but didn't want to pay the ridiculous price of 600-800$ for table then 250$ for one bench.So we made our own table. 6ft long. Along with two matching benches. Think the total project cost us around 200$ for wood.

I fell in love with the truss beam table, but realized that it would be too small for our family of 7. With a little altering and using ideas from the pub/counter table, my husband and I were able to complete this lovely square table!! It stands about 36 inches high and is about 60 inches across. I am in love!

Fun Build and got me interested in learning more.
