My husband built this is a weekend. We wanted each of our boys to have 2 rows for storage so we went with 4 total. Anchored to the wall and already in use 

Hi friends!
 

Jen here from Jenwoodhouse.com, sharing some exciting, free plans! How adorable is this Easy Kids Indoor Playhouse? 

Is that not the most adorable thing you ever did see?

The tongue-and-groove planks!
The transom window!
The flower box!

Seriously. I can’t even. I am dying over here.

Your kids will love it. OR maybe just build yourself an adult sized one for when you need some me-time. No judgements here! 

If you want more details for this build, you can grab them on JenWoodhouse.com!

So for the finish I did this super easy no mess no fuss. I used water based min wax in walnut but here's the trick I dilute the stain with some more water until I find the finish I'm looking for. It gives it a very subtle brown with just a little grayish undertones giving it a more aged look but not much. I absolutely love the results pictures don't really do it justice.

My Wife took a position where she will be working from home.  I also work from home 3 days a week.  We needed a nice office area, but didn't have the space.  I saw an article on LifeHacker and decided this would be the best fit for adding an office space to our bedroom.  I have just begun woodworking and have no experience.  This was a fun project... made a few mistakes, but they are not noticeable.  I am not fully complete (haven't attached the shelves to the desk yet) as I want to do some other room renovations before everything is all set.

Finishing: Grey stain and furniture wax to make it less "blue/grey".  Then a couple coats of polyurethane in a spray can.

This is my first day working at the desk... the only thing I would change so far is maybe to lower the keyboard/monitor shelf by a couple of inches, but this completely depends on your size.

I built the cedar shim headboard and bed for my daughter and her husband a few months ago.  It turned out so beautiful that I decided to make bedside tables to match.  I used the basic pattern with some adjustments to accommodate using a 1x8 for the drawer instead of a 1x6 to give more room for the shims.  

The final tables turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined.  Thank you Anna for the patterns and the inspiration to create such beautiful gifts.

FARMHOUSE MEETS SHABBY CHIC

My daughter needed a nice toy box for Nonnie and Poppa's house so I made her this one. I used Jamie's plans to hand painting and found it to be the hardest part of the project haha. It was probably just bc I was nervous I'd mess it up right at the very last step. I think it turned out nice.

A client couldn't find exactly what she was looking for - so we perused the Ana-White site and came up with this combo. She customized size and colors to match her decor and I did the rest.

It isn't perfect, but it's beautiful and made with love!

Double book-shelf on dorm desk plans

There's lots of versions of headboards made from doors. We wanted ours to let light in and still be able to open/close the windows. Since the doors were hollow-core the cutouts had to be re-inforced after cutting out those sections. Also, this was made from 3 different sized doors so 2 of the 3 had to be cut in half from top to bottom moved to the outsides to retain symetry.

I followed the plans but modified for a king size. I upholstered my bed in a linen colored upholstery fabric and added the nailhead trim to the headboard. This is the most sturdy bed I have ever owned. I don’t know if I will ever be able to buy from a store again!!

This was my first try with an Ana White plan. It was tons of fun, and my husband came up with an awesome paint design. Here it is:

It came out looking pretty good. We followed the plans. Treated entire area with a pre-stain conditioner. Then applied 3 coats of Minwax PolyShade. Voila!

I spent the last 8 months building 2 bunk beds from the Ana White site.  This little girl sweet pea version for my granddaughters and a cabin version for my grandsons.  This took alot of time but their smiles made it all worth it.  I am thankful for the website and plans you provided. It allowed someone like me to build something that my granddaughter loves and hopefully will remember forever.  Many, many thanks!!!!

Been a while since I had time to actually build anything worth posting about! My wife wanted some items for her Kindergarten classroom this year, so built several items, most inspired by the Farmhouse family.
