Brookstone Storage twin bed
Needed a bed but not a lot of space Pretty simple build. Directions said to use Brad Nailer. Didn't have one at the time, but after the number of small finishing nails I bought one.

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!!
Made from scrap wood and leftover paint. My daughter loves it, she uses it as a chalk board.
Second project ive ever made. Made the Farmhouse tables. these were harder to make than the bed I made. I Downsized to 20", dropped the shelf and added the slats, as well as added the Xs on the sides. Still in awe that I made a drawer that works! Fun project. Thanks to Ana for the great plans.

Thanks for the plans. Such an awesome site. Cant say that enough. Youre awesome!
I'm calling this a TV stand but it could also be used as a console or side table. It would easily fit behind a couch or be placed in a bedroom for storage. Being "rustic", it was built with simply construction methods from low cost lumber. The total material cost (excluding baskets) was around $50.

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
“Just My Size Closet Plan” - Perfect for growing kids and more organization! @thegardnerplace modified the tower to include tucking away the laundry basket, SMART!
Farmhouse king bed, great design. Cost approx $250.
My wife loved the sideboard, only did not like the drawers. I just changed the dimensions to accommodate without them. A couple of weeks later she decided she wanted a hutch for the top with glass doors so the items in the center could be visible. This is what I came up with. She stained with Espresso stain and Basil milk paint. Thanks Ana & Hillary for great ideas.

What were the dimensions that you used to replace the drawers? I prefer it this way. You did a remarkable job. I love the finish, rustic and modern at the same time!!
I wanted a shelf to extend the entire length of our laundry room. It's 76 inches, so I had to modify the existing plan for one slightly longer shelf instead of three 72 inch ones.
Cut list for 76 inch floating shelf:
2 - 1/4 plywood strips @ 76" x 7 3/4" (top & bottom of shelf)
1 - 1 x 2 @ 76" (front of shelf)
2 - 1 x 2 @ 73" (shelf frame)
4 - 1 x 2 @ 7" (ends of shelf and shelf frame)
6 - 1 x 2 @ 5 1/2" (shelf frame studs)
I was able to build this using scrap 1x2 for the studs and ends. I bought two 8 ft 1x2 pieces and one piece of 1/4 plywood, which I still have a lot left of.
I have children and this was my first time building something on my own, so it took me any spare time I could manage over the course of a week.
I can't wait to build again! Thanks Ana!
Made this for my dry closet. Super easy to construct and it works perfect. I just wish there was something similar to use for paper towels.
I made this for the sitting area in our master bedroom. I liked it because my wife and I can use it as a bench to sit and read on and also as a bed if we have the whole family over for the holidays and my guest bed and the kids' beds are taken. Overall this was around $100 and it took me two whole days to finish. I worked pretty much all day both days. I would say in total about 16 hours. Measuring and cutting was the largest part of the time. I made the mistake of cutting the trim before I made the boxes and was left with about an extra quarter inch in between most of the trim pieces. I filled this in with sandable paintable caulk and it did the trick. If you have any other questions please let me know. Thanks!
So... I am a pretty dedicated baseball card collector as well as a new found hobbiest in wood building. It's been an ongoing issue in my household with my baseball cards and boxes cluttering up our dining room. I decided to resolve the issue while still being able to keep my cards in the same room with even easier access without being an eye sore! This just might have saved my marriage! I searched for months for plans for some sort of baseball card cabinet but they just did not exist. The closest I could find for what I was looking for was a storage bench plan here on Ana White. I liked the idea of a top opening for hidden storage. It was too small for what I needed. I then came across plans on another site for an aquarium stand cabinet. I figured the combination of these two projects was what I was looking for. After a week of planing and drafting and 3 weeks of construction/finishing in the little spare time I have, I created what you see. People in the card collecting forums I'm a member of are begging for plans or for me to build them one! Problem is, this is the first thing I have built following my own design and plans. I could pass these on but no one in their right mind would be able to follow my scratches on paper but myself! I'm extremely proud of the outcome but am looking for a way to come up with plans I can share! Hope you all like, and if I can come up with a way to make follow able plans I will share! This was all assembled using the kreg jig system, wood filler to hide the knots and lines where the wood joined and lots of sanding!

If anyone knows of helpful software to design plans in let me know!

Nicely done! How did you make the top? Is that a project board? It's very smooth.
I believe Ana uses "Sketchup" which is a google program to do her designs.

Would you be willing to share some basic dimensions such overall size width, depth, and height and door measurements to get an idea?
Farmhouse Bedside Table for nursing room.
My daughter and I made this for her new apartment. Used MDF with painted trim for the top and added a third leg so she could have a shelf. We used pallet wood for the shelf.
Used your plans for a California King! Had to lengthen the bed by 4” to accommodate the comforter.

I made these based off the Brook laundry basket dresser plans. I did notice that the bottom rung placement measurement is about an inch off if you want your baskets spaced evenly, so I moved it an inch higher, which made them all very close.
The only other thing I changed about the plans was to add some decorative trim molding to the front edges where the raw plywood edge would have been. Plywood these days isn't of the best quality, so that rougher edge would have bothered me.
I primed by hand (it took six hours!!) and then decided to use spray paint for the top coat. It was a good decision-- the finish was much smoother than a brush, and it took less time to spray around the rungs than it did to brush them. It was also about half the price for the paint.
If I were to make these again, I would paint the insides before assembling the dressers. The painting part was by far the most difficult of the project. Painting while they aren't in a box formation would have been so much easier, and I could have touched any little spots up after assembly if needed.

We had some unused space behind our front door and not enough room in the entryway closet. So we found a mud room plan and... voilà. We now have a place for backpacks, jackets, and shoes. We still need to put in the "T" into the bottom cubby for a shoe tree. We made sure to add 1/4 round trim to snug it seemlessly against the wall and 1/2 round for the face.

We didn't back with wainscoting; however, we taped it out with frogs tape and painted vertical stripes instead. The kids race to sit down and put on their shoes. Love it :)
