This is so much nicer than cutting boards on the floor! I altered the plans by adding extra supports out of 1x3s and adding a shelf to add storage and make it sturdier. Since I added the shelf and assembled the box with my Kreg jig, I skipped the boards along the top and bottom. This project cost me at least $100, between the sheet of plywood, a little extra lumber for the shelf, and all the hardware (the casters and folding hinges were maybe $60, including shipping for the hinges), but it's worth it for the ease of using the saw and the tool organization.

Classic Bunk Beds painted blue.

I used some scrap wood to build a small custom box so my kids can keep a water cup or book close by.

I'm building them all... this table is next! 

I made the bulk of this bed from 2 sheets of OSB to make it cheaper. The headboard is from salvaged pallets and scrap studs from a construction site. Baskets or drawers forthcoming. Easy plans to follow.

I built this square farmhouse table for a friend of mine. Used the same build as the 4x4 truss table. Just made it square. 64.75x64.75

I loved this plan from the minute I saw the post. We got the kids and their friends involved in this build. I love having a outdoor table that is large enough to have everyone around.

Super fun and pretty easy to make!

We LOVE our finished bed. We started out to make the Farmhouse Queen Bed but decided after completing the headboard and footboard that we wanted some storage with it. We made the frame from the Farmhouse Storage Bed plans without the actual drawers. We wanted a more open look to the storage. We are pleased with the way it turned out and love that Ana shares these wonderful plans online. Thanks again Ana! 

Just bought a vacation home and need to furnish the place. Started with the size Farmhouse bed with side tables. Used Behr paint from Home Depot called Cotton Whisper sanded edges and used a dark walnut stain to antique. Finished it off with 2 heavy coats of poly.

I loved this bed and started building it last summer.  Most of my lumber was inexpensive (meaning somewhat warped with dings, knots, cracking, etc).  Since I wanted a very clean and smooth look, I took a lot of time filling, sanding, filling, sanding, over and over in order to get it just right.  I also like the paneling look on other beds I have seen, so I added 1x over each of the panel board seams.

For the frame, I built using 2x4 and then ran MDF strips across.  With all of this wood, it is a very heavy and very sturdy (if we ever move, my wife says we are leaving it at the house).

I made a few changes but not much!  I used biscuit jointers and dowels, so only nails for glue to dry.  Lock miter draw joints.  But all the wood came from scraps from the saw mill I work at :). 

My two daughters really enjoyed helping daddy make these birdhouses but most of the loved painting them.

This was my biggest project to date. The hardest part was finishing it.

I made this double x bench from plans from www.hertoolbelt.com

This is seriously easy to make.

It looks complicated but it really isn't.

I used the vaseline technique for distressing.

This bench looks amazing at the end of my farmhouse bed.

This is a rabbit hutch I created for my kids 5 rabbits. The thing that makes this hutch really nice is if you have a large lawn you can just move the hutch a little bit every day and the lawn gets mowed, fertilized and you don't have to worry about cleaning up all the rabbit droppings. I also mounted a rabbit feeder on the inside of the house door to keep the food dry, which has worked really well.

Here is a short blog of all the steps in its construction:

We had issues in Baby Goats' closet, which prompted a big closet re-do! Chose to use the plans for the Closet tower, and I LOVE it! You can read more about it here.
