Classic Bunk Beds
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.

Pretty basic bench made from Home Depot pine boards (the cheap ones, not the Select Pine stuff). I had some extra trim pieces from a past project so used that for the base trim. That stuff is pretty cheap anyhow so it wouldn't be too much to add to other projects.
I didn't have too much trouble with this one other trying to get the paint on evenly.
We bought new couches and of course they were larger then what we had in the Family Room previously and my old end tables would no longer fit. I needed something narrow to go on either side of the sofa and these fit the bill perfectly! I also really liked that they had drawers for remotes or other random things that usually just end up on top of the end tables.
Had a lot of fun with this project! Glad to have it all put together! Thanks again for providing plans Ana!!
We wrote details on everything we did on our blog (http://thehuth.blogspot.com).

My niece's 4 year birthday was coming up, so I decided I would make something for her. I looked through my wood scraps and tried to come up with a project that would be quick to make and would make a 4 year old happy. I saw Land of Nod's Tabletop Theater and I knew it would be perfect! My measurements are not exactly the same as the Land of Nod version because I was using the scrap wood that I had on hand, but it worked out great! Not including painting time, this can be built in just a couple hours. You can find the step by step tutorial on my blog.
Total cost per chair about $70 each. Cedar, Marine varnish & stainless screws are quite expensive. For the arm rest I used 1x6 Cedar rather than 1x4. All wood cut, sanded and varnished. All screws pre-drilled. All Cedar countersunk.
My spin on the Ructic X Desk. My wife is a school teacher. This is going in her class room. Stained whole piece, then painted over stain on some pieces and sanded for distress look. I also added 3 drawers.
This is my first project using my Kreg Jig. Although it's not perfect, I think it came out fairly well and it was an easy project for my first try. I would also recommend buying your lumber at a lumberyard, because it's very difficult to find good, straight boards at the big box stores.
Super fun and pretty easy to make!
This is one of my first wood working projects I have accomplished and these two plans were some that I really enjoyed making.
My family and I love fresh vegetables, so we decided to try this. It turned out so great!!! I have now purchased wood to build 3 more! I did modify the plan though, as I wanted a 4' X 8'.

Looks simple enough. However, I've not built anything, so I'll have to see
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).
These were great plans to work from and we love how the entire set turned out. We already had an outdoor table so we also built and replaced the top with one that matched the chairs. We spent more for outdoor fabric and marine grade foam for the cushions since they're exposed to weather, but the results were worth it.
So, my grandson's room is quite small and my daughter was asking for advice on how to arrange things. I found this plan and figured it would be perfect! It was quite easy to build, but did take longer than I thought. We had three of us working on it and we build it over Labor Day Weekend. It isn't perfect, but my daughter says it just adds character. He loved the bed and the extra space to play underneath. It really did the trick to open up the room. Thanks Ana for all the great plans! You are my idol!! Now, I just have to build one for all the grandkids!
This was a cool first time project! Initially in my mind I thought, I'm going to make a doghouse! Eehh!...This was simple enough and fun! basic training and very useful! The cedar planter. I must admit, a few mistakes here and there, on my own account, but nevertheless, it looks great and it was an awesome project to get myself introduced to the basic tools and ways of measuring as well! I highly recommend this project for those who are new at this! This was my first time using the tools and first project. I loved it and can't wait to create something else!! I know I'll get better in time!

Congrats, what a great accomplishment! Beware, you are hooked!
Myself and my sister in laws are doing the same thing. Starting tomorrow 3 cedar planters and 2 benches! Can't wait because it is their first project too. I know they will love the challenge as well!
This was my biggest project to date. The hardest part was finishing it.

I liked this desk. how much would it cost for doing this? I am a writer at one of the and btw way work full time infront of my PC, wish to have a separate work room with well interior designed.
Made from the modified Ana White Rustic X-Console Table.
I made this console table to fit the length of my sons couch. It's about 6 foot long.
It was really easy to make. My only tip is to sand all your timber before assembling. Getting into the tight spots with a sander is quite difficult. I hae now made 4 of these tables and sanding first saves so much time and headaches. The other 3 I have made were painted white and had stained tops.

Plans
do you have the plans for this? i've been looking and looking for what i needed and this is it!!
American Girl dollhouse built using PureBond Plywood, Kreg K4, and Ryobi tools!
I love making thing for our son. i document most of it at http://madeatthisplace.blogspot.com.au/
Our son has a lot of Lego, especially fire engine Lego.
It was spread out everywhere and we needed to contain it.
This fire station playhouse was perfect.
I added a ramp so the cars and trucks could get up to the top level and garage doors on one side as our house is more like a garage then a fire station.
I used scrapbooking paper on the upper level walls and painted a H on the roof for the helicopter. (or in our case a plane).

Awesome job!!! I don't see much built for boys and this is just an awesome playset, I will defiantly be doing something like this for my grandson. I especial like that it's up off of the floor.
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.
