Kendal Extra Wide Dresser
Overall I am very pleased with this project and I deviated from the plan with the drawer fronts and the slides as well.

Bult this for my wife from Ana White plans
I'm a beginner, I had only made the play kitchen, Mom's lego table and a workbench before I took on this project. I had so much fun making this. I made tons of mistakes, but it's all repairable. My daughter loves it.
I have a build in chalkboard and fishtank in there. And check out the remote control fireplace.
Thank you SO much for the plans, Ana. You've made some awesome childhood memories for my kids.

From someone that has done a loft bed, I can appreciate the time and effort that went into it. Keep up the good work!

I made the canopy doll bed for my very first project. I had only ever put together particle board furniture kits before this. The building went pretty smoothly, but it would have been nice to have more clamps or an extra pair of hands. I built the bed and sanded it in one afternoon. I painted it the next day, and sewed the bedding the day after that. It was really fun to build and my 6 year old daughter loves it! I can't wait to start my next project.

I am sure it could work as a pet bed with a couple adjustments. You would need to have a solid piece of wood for the bottom and you might need to adjust the size depending on the size of your pet. The bed is very sturdy. My kids tend to give their toys a lot of abuse and it has held up great.
This is a bed that we did for my son's room, Star Wars theme.

Great little cabinet with drawer and tilt out garbage.

So, my three-year-old son was super jealous that I spent some time and made my friend a sling chair for her birthday. He kept saying, "Mommy, I want you to make ME a chair!" So I did! Oh my word, was this EVER easy!!!! I super duper LOVE this chair! I bought some canvas fabric at Walmart for $2.50 a yard (clearance) and the wood (furring strips) cost me about $8. So less than $10 a chair. I couldn't be more thrilled! And he's in love with his chair, too! He wouldn't even let me take it out of the garage before trying it out....see picture of my adorable toddler in his jammies below. (-: This chair took me about 45 minutes to cut and assemble. I spray painted it white and only did one coat to give it a white washed look.
Well we just bought a new house and the bedroom was a bit smaller and lower ceilings for two beds. One daughter had a queen and my other daughter was begging for a new loft bed. Well I searched for plans on many different bunk beds and I came to the conclusion that creating one from two different plans would save the most space. So I made the platform bed and the loft bed separately and added dowels to attach them . The girls were ecstatic. It turned out beautifully!

This is my first bed turned out great had alot of challenges though my cordless drill died couldn't find my charger for it so I had to use a corded drill. Then I got a cordless with two fully charged batteries and the batteries drained quickly. One battery died on the first screw...man I was mad had to go back to my antique drill. So this took me a few hours longer than needed ... I think I put in maybe 15 hours into this.
This project was based on the A frame chicken coop. I changed the dimensions to metric with the main frame being 3m long and each side of the frame being 1.7m. The 2x4 was from reclaimed decking with new 2x2 for shorter pieces.
I added a chicken door (with a rope to open and close) and an egg door (with a tower bolt) at each end of the enclosed chicken house section at the top. The chicken house has a removable roosting bar and space for the nesting boxes. One of the bottom sections has a hinged frame to allow easy access to the run.
The hardest part was fixing wire netting to the inside as there wasn't much room to swing a hammer to put the fixings into the wood. I used a mix of 13mm and 25mm mesh and welded 50mm framing. There is wire mesh all the way round the outside to stop foxes digging into the run.
I built this bed for my daughter and we decided to build a farmhouse bed but it didn’t stop there.. We added a barn door feel complete with handles and then we bought some vintage wall sconces and turned them into lights for the headboard.

The Swedish Bed/ fancy arch bed was a perfect fit with our more masculine Yeti yurt. The storage underneath is great for putting in extra bedding or robes for guests to use. We love this bed it adds to the magic of sleeping in a yurt.
I absolutely love this project. I do not have a pantry with a door so I just placed this spice rack on my wall and it really looks great! We have a ton of spices so I might need to make another!

hi - I'm thinking of building this to hang on a wall like you have. Do you think the dowels are necessary? Seems like it would give a little more shelf room without the dowels - but do you feel like the spices would fall out without them?
thanks!
For several years now we’ve put the guest bedroom at the bottom of our home decorating priorities, but a couple of weeks ago we decided to give the room some love and built these nightstands.
You can see all the details in my blog.

I really love the finish. Thanks for the detailed post on your website.
Perfect vanities! When I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for, I searched online for vanity plans and thankfully your site and these vanities popped up. I love all the storage with these, so much better than ANYTHING pre built we looked at online. We had seen vanities that I was going to settle for but they were around $3,000, and I didn’t love them, so my husband said he could build something and this was the result using your plans. I am so thankful and the whole project was a fraction of the cost! I stained them with a vinegar and steel wool stain with poly over it. I couldn’t be more grateful for you and your generosity of plan sharing. Thank you!

These are very pretty. Any chance he recalls what type of wood used?
This is a shorter and more narrow version of the Farmhouse table, it works perfectly for 2 kids to sit and do homeowrk or color at.
Most of teh legs are built out of reclaimed pallet wood, driving the cost way down, I did not include the stain and wax into my total cost since I had these on hand.

Hi, I am building a table for a teacher who wants it to be a 3 seater. Your table looks just right. I am wondering how stable it is. It looks like you didn't taper the legs, which is what I think I am going to do too. Basically I need to know if you feel it is stable enough for a teacher to use as a writing center.
Thanks, Alecia

Hi Alicia-
Yes it is very stable, my kids use it everday as their homework table.
THanks and good luck!
My kiddos LOVE this clubhouse. We use it in the playroom, but also could be an extra bed.
Bathroom vanity with vessel sink. Made 32 inches high to have a vessel sink on top. 37 inches wide and 22 inches deep.

Looks really beautiful how can I get the plans to do this for my parents?
thanks
Hi friends!
Jen Woodhouse here, sharing this adorable summer project with you! I'm in the mood for all things outdoor, so I thought I'd share this build I created last year. This Kids Outdoor Double Lounge Chair made my kiddos so happy. They spend a ton of time at the pool and this Lounge Chair offers them a little bit of shade, and cup holders too for their drinks!
Be sure to tag me @jenwoodhouse if you share photos of your build on social media.
You can get all the details and the plans for this build on JenWoodhouse.com!
We had a very limited area for these to fit, so my hubby had to change the dimensions to fit these square baskets. We needed enough spots for our family of 10! I LOVE THEM, thanks; Ana!
Wed, 01/11/2012 - 14:53
We are going to have to turn the baskets the same way due to the space in out laundry room. Do you happen to remember the dimensions of them? Thanks.
Thu, 02/09/2012 - 07:08
Do you have the dimensions for the square baskets? These would work much better in my home.
Tue, 02/14/2012 - 16:42
We did something similar when our family was 8 (6 foster children). We bought 4 baskets (2 people per room) and then just had them on regular shelves. I LOVE the look of these! Unfortunately baskets give out over time and I can't ever seem to find baskets that once again are the same size as previous baskets. Did you order the baskets on-line someplace that you can consistenly get the same size for when the baskets wear out?
Wed, 02/22/2012 - 12:35
I have all the same laundry baskets that I bought at wal mart for like 3 or 4 bucks a piece. I would think that just meausring out the size according to the laundry baskets would work out fine! they have never stopped selling the ones that I buy, i find them at every wal mart I go to
Thu, 03/08/2012 - 05:13
Seriously? $50 for these plans. Get real. Fine woodworking plans don't cost this much. Take some wood, make a box, and put slats in it to fit the baskets. The entire set wouldn't cost $50!
Thu, 03/08/2012 - 06:18
The plans are free. The build costs $50. See the plans on the link above the cost.

Thanks David. Didn't read well as you can see. My mistake, and apologies.
Sat, 03/17/2012 - 20:54
once again can anyone please give the measurements for this square basket design and the basket model number as well. i am very challenged when it comes to building things, but with the idea of home depot doing the cutting i think i could manage if i had the measurements. i need the square size to work for my space though. thanks in advance.
Sun, 04/01/2012 - 09:18
I have tried clicking on the link above the cost to get the Plans...however it brings me back to the ORIGINAL Plan rather than YOUR plan (skinnier and taller)...Im sorry if I am being dense but I would really love to get the dimensions of YOUR plan but am having trouble accessing them?? Help please!!
Fri, 04/20/2012 - 14:05
If you use the large wire baskets made by elfa they would not break like the plastic. The initial investment would be more but would save money over time.
Tue, 07/24/2012 - 04:34
Easy and awesome! My teenage children and I made these over the week-end! Super easy and great looking! Our first project was the laundry pedestal and these are a great compliment. We let Home Depot cut the wood due to time restraints and assembly was a snap! Thanks for the great family projects. My husband passed away in April and these projects have really helped us in the healing process (excellent for constructive bonding time).! Thanks again
