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).

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. 

Followed the plans closely. Stained before assembly for the two color look.

This is my second build and I'm so pleased with how it turned out! I bought a Kreg Jig especially for this project, and I honestly don't know how I ever lived without it!

I'd been wanting a new console for our TV and this seemed perfect.

Surprisingly simple. We used 4x4s for the diagonal supports because I prefered the look. 

My husband and I built this on Sunday- I love how it turned out!  The hardest part was finding cushions, and carrying it up a flight of stairs!

I gave this one to my Dad to do. Of course he made some changes. But she loves her sand box and we love it too! Thought I would share some pictures of the construction after he brought the parts to our house. 400 pounds of sand later.

This was the first building project I completed by myself start to finish! I was able to use 2x4s we already had in the garage (sorry husband!) and some scrap wood for the few other pieces it required. The only thing I added to the plans was some trim for the front.

I built this last summer and since then the shelf on the very top has warped a bit. I would recommend adding extra support. It rains a lot here, and I think that contributed to it warping. Other than that, it has held up very well and the shelf can easily be fixed with some brackets.

Overall, this was a great first build for me! The plans were straightforward and easy to follow. And there's just nothing more rewarding than standing back at the end of a day of building and thinking, Hey I made that :)

This is the table I made for my wife using 2x lumber...I used the epoxy resin finish and it gives it a beautiful look and finish...my wife, family and friends love it...I'm very pleased with how well it turned out...

MY FIRST PROJECT

This was fun and easy. I had some of the wood already so I didn't spend that much. My girls painted it to add a personal touch. I would consider adding a magnet to help the doors stay closed a little better. Its been a couple of years and they are still enjoying this. At the time I had no idea how to make a star. Now I know it woudl be easy with a jig saw. 

Thank you for your doll house plans!

This was a gift for my granddaughters 5th birthday. I altered the stair design a bit to provide a little more durability.

The only part I struggled with was the wallpaper.

All-in-all the project was a success and she LOVED it!

This is my first large project and I'm very happy with the result.  Since I knew we were using regular (thick) mattresses instead of thin bunk-style mattresses, I built the guard rails taller than in the plans.  The bunk beds are painted Benjamin Moore Citrus Orange http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/citrusorange.  The walls are Benjamin Moore Waterfall http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-ca/paint-color/waterfall.

Helpful Hint:  IKEA's LONSET slatted bed base fits perfectly instead of needing to cut your own bed slats.  http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80278715/#/30278732
