I made this for my daughter this year for Christmas. I’m pretty proud of how it turned out.

We modified Ana's Recycling Center plans to make this piece. It's made of MDF and painted to match the kitchen cabinets. I had the pieces cut at the lumber yard so they'd be straight, but didn't have the plans quite correct. My poor plans resulted in the build being quite fidgety and took ages to complete (and I ended up having a handyman help get it right), but I'm happy with the result. I used drawer runners for the drawers and made a box inside, cutting out a hole for the plastic liners. Thanks so much for the help!
I was looking for a wooden parking garage plan for my little guy, but couldn't find one! I looked a bunch of the dollhouse plans for inspiration and found a wooden toy garage online that I based my plans on. I still need to add the ramps and a few more parking spots, but my son loves it! It has an elevator (need to refine it) and helicopter landing zone!

What a great idea. This would be a nice gift too. Nicely done.
This was my first attempt at a project from the site here, and I am hooked! this was well thought out and the fact that you have the cut sheet and materials list ensures you get what you need and help to keep cost down. This will not be my last build from this site! Thank you for the great information and how-to you guys have provided.
Took different plans from this site and combined them to make this princess castle for my daughter.
ana here is a picture of a solid hickory blanket chest i made my younger brother the chest is made from 1x8 hickory i used walnut and aromatic cedar trim and for the side trim i used elm the chest features in the top hickory red oak walnut and white oak with walnut side trim and the front of the chest features exotic hard to find mexican bocote lumber i i built the whole chest using plugged kreg screw construction and i used aromatic cedar for the floor and for the finish i used minwax antique oil finish 3 coats this is by far my most 2nd favorite project to come out of my shop over my 20 plus yrs woodworking not bad for simple tools a humble shop and a outdoor rated cord for power hope you enjoy let me know your thoughts n i would be glad to share more pics of my work
I just completed the Queen Farmhouse Bed from Ana's plans for a friend of mine. She needed a "big boy bed" for her son that could double as a guest bed when family is in town.
I made a few modifications to the plan for the frame. I realized after the headboard and footboard were completed that I wanted the box springs to sit inside the side rails on slats so I had to notch out the post on the headboard to accommodate the extra width.
I finished the bed with paint, "Blue grey slate", distressed it a bit, and gave it a coat of polycrylic.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the result. I have made some chairs and frames before but this was my first BIG project. It was a lot of fun for me and I love being able to stand back and see what can be built in your own garage!
These are great chairs! Easy to build, comfy to sit in. Check out my blog post for more info.

I'll be making four of these this week in turquoise to match the little ones I made for the kids. Yours is an inspiration!

Are these kid size or adult, and where are the plans for them....
thanks bunches,
Debbie.
We did another Farmhouse bed for Anna's dollhouse. Modified this version to be "twin" size (used 3 1x3's across instead of 5) Added some painted wood medallions to fit the theme....
A variation of the simple bunk beds made with old growth lumber stained with "honey" minwax stain and topped with 2 coats of satin minwax polyurethane . Each step on the ladder made with dado cuts, glued, and screwed and secured to each bed to add strength and take up less floor space. Used 8 inch HeadLOK screws to attach head and foot boards to posts and 2 7/8 inch to secure steps on the ladder as well as top boards to the head and foot boards. I cut down x4 HeadLOK bolts to 2 inches to secure rail to top bed so they didn't go through other side. Utilized non mortise bed rail brackets for easy assembly and disassembly; holds strong with no wobble even before ladder and plywood bottom. 3/4 plywood bottom screwed to the rails to better support mattress and add ridgidity. I screwed them so the bottom child doesn't push up on the mattress for the top child. All screws with the exception of the HeadLOK were counter sunk for a flush finish. All to say? This thing is strong and turned out beautifully.
The directions on all of Ana's projects are great. This farmhouse table is in my sunroom and is a perfect addition.

Looks perfect in you space, way to go! Thank you so much for sharing:)
We made this for my nephew Owen. He loves to play super hero. I painted it "to infinity and beyond blue"! Then just hand painted the letters on from stencils I made out of laminate paper. Super fun project He loved it! (so did his mom)
Two years ago my college roommate & fraternity brother passed away of cancer. When his wife contacted me and another of my brothers about building a loft bed for his daughter’s 12th birthday - we jumped at the chance. With mom’s input, we decided on the Chelsea bed design with a few modifications: full size, no decorative feet (for stability) & an extra desk portion. (The design was inspired by the Pottery Barn Teens Chelsea Vanity Loft Bed.) We ended up using ¾” thick white shelf boards instead of 1x12s for the panels and shelves & 15” wide shelf board for the extra desk portion as well as plywood on the back of half the selves & desk area. Used 2x3s instead of 2x2s as suggested. We added a few pieces of quarter round & lattice molding to give a nice finishing touch between the bed & bookshelf/desk and a full length mirror on the bookshelf end. We were going to paint everything white, but after seeing the wood trim against the white, the daughter decided she liked that look, so only select pieces of the wood were painted. Most importantly, she loves it. She has a small 10x10 room which made getting a full shot of the bed difficult.
Total cost of lumber, pocket screws, plugs, primer & miscellaneous was about $350. It took a week of evenings pre-cutting and some sub assembly then a Saturday to build and paint.
My roommate was a great friend. If there is one thing his life showed me, is that life is short – some lives shorter than others. If you make a difference for someone else, you will make a difference in yourself and the world becomes a better place. Make the decision to spend time with the ones you love & care for, you won’t regret it.

What a wonderful gift! This looks so beautiful, and the story behind it is inspiring! Great job!
I posted this to my Facebook page some friends saw it so i gifted them the bench and they painted it themselves.... Thanks Ana for the plans

i think Bryan is an awesome builder... just joking hope you like it!!!
I made this table and chairs for my 1 year old nephew. He is still a little small for it but the table and chairs are both very sturdy. The table top is a one piece, 24 x 36 ,edge glued pine board. I used the one piece table top as an alternative to screwing the 3 boards together. I followed the plans for the table for the most part. As for the chairs, I followed the plan to build the seat base. For the legs of the chairs I took advise from carongirls' table and chair brag post and used 2x2's. I used 1x3's to stiffen the chair legs. I also lengthened the table legs and chair legs by 2 inches.
Built this with plans found on site. I left it unfinished to match the furniture in their room. My daughter helped by sewing the mattress and pillow covers. The girls loved it!
This bed is made from MDF with wood trim and drawer fronts. There are 3 "boxes" making up the bed. I've added a headboard and adjusted the drawers to provide for 100lb full extension drawer glides. The bed also has extra trim, like quarter round on the bottom allowing a polished look. I painted all the trim before installing so there were no cut-in lines.
We built this loft bed for my daughters fourth birthday and she loves it.
I customized the plans to a full-size bed instead of a twin, simply so I didn't have to buy new mattress down the road. We also integrated a 16 gal saltwater aquarium, since she loves Nemo so much. It is a simple design that we feel we can customize as she grows.

I used 2 wooden dowels cut to 77" (length of bed) and attached 4 cup hooks (link below) to hold dowels.

I saw your post on the full size loft bed. I've only seen the plans for a
twin size. what are the plans or how do I modify to a full size? really want
to keep my sons mattress. and I love the flat panel on the side by the way
and the curtain
Thu, 08/08/2013 - 07:32
The original plans show a 44 1/2" width for a twin size mattress. I modified the width to 59 1/2" to fit the full size mattress. The original length of the bed was 75", I extended this to 77". Also, keep in mind the overall height of the loft bed. The mattress we purchased is 12 1/2" in height/thickness. So I also modified the overall bed height from 65 1/2" to 72" and 45" clearance underneath. Hope this helps.

i like how you have the extra 2x6 at the top. did you lower the height of the overall bed to do this? how high to you have it, and how much space did you leve between the "rows"?

Thu, 08/08/2013 - 07:37
I actually added more height to the bed. The original plan bed height was 65 1/2", I modified that to 72". I added that piece because of the mattress height. We purchased a mattress that was 12 1/2" in height / thickness. The space between each row is 3".

I love all the modifications you made. Do you mind answering a few questions? What width of wood did you add to make the aquarium wall? Is it 1/4 inch plywood or thicker? I also noticed that you did not add another cross piece on the back, is that because the wall added stability and you didn't need it? Also I noticed you added 2x4's under the front side 2x6. Was that for stability as well? I want to make the full size version as well and appreciate your help:-) Thanks

I used 1/4 inch plywood for the aquarium wall. The cross piece in the back was not needed. This is where our daughter gets in and out of the bed. The 2x4's in the front are just for aesthetics. They are not needed for stability. I used them to hide the end of the curtains. Hope this helps and good luck.

I'm sorry I do not have the plans anymore. The original plans show a 44 1/2" width for a twin size mattress. I modified the width to 59 1/2" to fit the full size mattress. The original length of the bed was 75", I extended this to 77". Also, keep in mind the overall height of the loft bed. The mattress we purchased is 12 1/2" in height/thickness. So I also modified the overall bed height from 65 1/2" to 72". Hope this helps.

sorry I did not mean to post that so many times.
This was my first furniture project. I bought some rough cut cherry from a local mill which included a piece beautiful curly cherry for the top. My wife help finish this in General Finishes' Georgian Cherry Gel Stain. We used Kreg's pockethole joinery for assembly.
This wine rack project was built during 5th lockdown in Melbourne Victoria, Australia. Timber size is 35mm by 90mm. Table top is treated pine.
