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.

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.

Revamped my son's bed and turned it into this. Very closely matches the dresser we bought him.

Queen size storage beds.

I made this my self for my doughter as a playhouse she loves it it is 6ft by 12 ft wide with a mini kitchen and mini fridge 

I built this for my sister-in-law who loves growing vegetables and herb - in her small apartment porch. She wanted something that she can put her plant pots (and she has so many of them!), so I modified the Painter's Ladder Shelf by:
1. Made the shelves with slats, with added support underneath
2. Beefed up the legs with 2X3s instead of 1X2s.

Dad helped with angled cuts and other things, and borrowing his workshop, this was a breeze to build.

This is an easy garden bed plan. The only tool you need is a staple gun and you can easily complete this project within a weekend! Find part 1 of the design here.

I didn't follow the plan on this one. But it looks about the same. I used 2 x 4's for the legs.

Made the kennel following the Large Wood Pet Kennel End Table plans as a gift for my mother in law, put a 1x2 rim at bottom cut to 1 1/4" to allow for a pan/liner to be slid in and out as needed. Mother in law was surprized and Extremely pleased.

We built this workbench for our two-year old's birthday coming up this weekend. Really excited to see his expression when we show it to him! Built the whole thing out of scraps on hand- used 1x4's instead of 1x3s(that's what we had), and MDF for the bottom and backing. Used some scrap plywood and 2x2(support) for the top shelf. Added some hooks to the underside of the shelf & along the back to hang all the toy tools!

I had two large pictures I no longer liked. I took scrap pieces of 1x3 and 1x2's and created a frame, after covering the inside with burlap. I thin took and blew up photos into black and white, mod podged them to the center frame, and added stained L molding. the cost $15.00 each frame to update two old pictures that would have been given to goodwill or trashed.

Not much to say, I followed the plans for the King (adjusted from Queen) and built this in 2 weekends. First weekend was construction (maybe 4-5hours) the second weekend was sanding and paint (2-3 more hours).

Pretty sure I built the wood frame incorrectly (supports are on the top instead of allowing the box to sit inside of the 2x6's). it sits a bit high, but it is very sturdy. The mattress shown is a 15" mattress sitting on a standard box-spring. I will probably just convert it to a platform with some plywood or slats and just ditch the box springs.

I came across the Farmhouse Bed Project and knew immediately I wanted to make this bed.  I ran into a bit of a snag though when I realized I needed at least 12 inches of clearance for my storage totes.  With some fixed math and a whole lot of “go with the flow” I changed the plans to fit my needs.  I definitely went over kill on the mattress support system, but I know this bed will last me forever with the sturdiness of how it was built. 

This was my first build and it was so much fun! I used a Kreg jig to construct the shelves using Ana's plan and then secured them to the wall with anchors. It took only a few hours from the trip to the hardware store for lumber to painted and finished ledges on the wall.
