Hubby and I finished our couples project. We combined the plans from the classic storage bed and the farmhouse headboard design. I love the storage aspect and the farmhouse style. We also converted the measurements to a california king size. The build is really sturdy, I know it will last the test of time.

Great job on the modifications, love all the storage too!
From the club house plans. I did go ahead kreg jig all the panels on the front and back walls.
All the art work in the sign and on the steps i used a dremel and dug out and painted everything.
Came out beautiful.
Made so was easy to transports in parts to get up and down stairs in 8 pieces.

This is awesome! My son absolutely loves it, and looks like this is what we will by trying to re-create!
I built this as a Christmas gift. I used Minwax honey oak stain for the top and bottom shelf.
My first Ana project! Different dimension and no drawers but still based off the original plans. Love it!
This plan turned out perfect!! Such a great idea, thank you for the inspiration!
My first woodworking project since building a mug tree in school (I was about 12). This project started in the holiday break after I received a Kreg Jig as a gift, and this seemed like a good first project to tackle. We have a little boy about 20 months old who LOVES to help out, needed something more sturdy than standing on a chair, and this fit the bill perfectly.
I modified the design very slightly to ensure that the tower fits neatly under our kitchen island so that it stows mostly out of the way. That necessitated removing one of the "levels", and altering the dimensions somewhat to keep it proportional.
The biggest challenge of all was painting at the end! Made the mistake of using a spray can first, which made the wood fuzzy. So, sanded it all again, added primer (originally it was black), and then a couple of layers of white semi-gloss/enamel. Need to improve my painting technique to avoid brush marks in the future.
I made this little tool caddy in one afternoon from some 1 by various width board scraps. I pretty much followed Ana's 'Give the Gift of Building' plan for construction, while being able to use up some scrap wood. I was making this as a 'just because' gift for my BFF, so I made it to fit three of those free little floral vases, filled it with flowers from my yard, and voilà!
This is a great beginner project, or one for anyone who needs a little something to project during a free afternoon.
I made these for a special order. Used the Simple Twin bed plans but modified them because they want to use the beds as separate twins first, then convert to a bunk bed. In order to make the beds look uniform when separated, the head and foot boards are identical. One bed fits directly on top of the other, secured with 1/2” dowels.
I only was able to complete this project for less than $10 because I happened to have most of the supplies I needed lying around the house already. If this isn't the case for you, it will cost slightly more, but not much.
I had 2 extra 12x12" mirror tiles left over from another project that I've been saving for something creative. When I saw the plans for this picture frame I knew I had a winner. I figured out how much wood I needed and purchased the cheapest type I could that wasn't warped. Since I wanted a bit of the "weathered" look, I didn't mind wood with knots in it. I followed the original plan exactly, the only exception being the specific measurements I knew I needed to fit these mirrors. I also had some extra burlap lying around and made my own stencils for my "M" and "L" monogram letters. After cutting them out, I simply hot glued them directly to the mirrors. Finally, I attached the mirrors to the back of the frames and hung them in place!
I originally wanted more of a rustic look with the paint (similar to the original blue one), but I think the burlap brings that in enough. Overall, I'm very happy with how this turned out!
We used the plans to build the center console piece, and then left off the support shelves under the ends, and instead bolted our desk to a support system directly on the walls. Then we installed a steel support beam under the desk to prevent bowing.

Very nice job on the desk! It almost makes me want to add this project to the to-do list!
My husband built the loft bed and added a side rail on the landing just in case our little one was drowsy during the middle of the night. We added an extra rail to the top (...mommy didn't read the measurements correctly on the website for the mattress but it all worked out). I dont have the picture with her new bed on top with twinkle lights on the bottom but you get the idea. p.s. mommy built the desk on the left :)
These plans were modified slightly from your bathroom storage shelf plans to make a bookshelf for my daughter. Made from cut-offs and spare wood. Fun little project.
Using Ana's plan for the garage shelves I was able to shorten them up and turn my basement storage area into a well-organized storage area. This was my first real wood working project ever. The detailed plans from Ana's site made this a very doable and easy project.
I built this using tongue n groove boards instead of 1x6's and it added some dimension to it. I also made it higher to allow for storage under. Turned out pretty good
This bench is on my back porch. Its nice to have a few extra seats when entertaining!
My husband and I love to spoil our God Daughter. I used some scrap mouldings that I got from work and used the dimensions from the Farmhouse Doll Bed to create this. Literally cost me nothing other than the paint and the fabric was remnants from Joanne's, a coupon and I think I spent a total of $10.
This bench is the most beautiful bench I have ever seen. My husband made ours long so all the grandkids to sit on it at one time. Made with love. I am having him make another one for our deck. Thank you for the plans.
Love it! . I used a clear coat. Usually I have a hard time getting up from this type of chair...Not this one. Now I have a few more to build.😇I rounded the edges to make it less sharp. I am new to wood working.
This table is made from beautiful reclaimed wood from local Washington DC buildings.
The matching benches are a great space saver for a small space!
