I had a horrible time finding an outdoor sectional that fit in my sunroom and didn't cost a fortune, so I adapted the Storage Sofa plan to work for my needs!

It took a couple of weekends, but I didn't work straight through both days - I would do one task at a time; cut all pieces, assemble boxes, stain, put together cushions, install in sunroom.

I used my kreg jig for as much as I could, and adapted from the original plan to leave the backrest open to give it a more outdoor look.  

This was my first project ever. I had a lot of fun and it didn't quite turn out right but next time it will be perfect.

thanks for the plans! Took me about three hours to build, sand and stain!

This was the first piece of furniture  my husband  built. He also built a matching sideboard/buffet table.

Our new place has a kitchen island, so we needed stools. We had been searching the internet for vintage drafting stools, but could not justify spending over $200 a stool. We stopped at the local Goodwill and found two stools for $7 a piece. To make it even better they were on sale. We spent under $10 for the two.

Check out my blog for more photos of the process.

Super easy. Under $50 .. wanted an industrial look to match new shelves, and could storage laundry baskets. Wanted a certain width / color. Added extra pieces to bottom shelves to create a cubble shelve.

Love the outcome!

Here is my try at your table. I skipped the x's on the sides. 

Greetings from Brazil. Thank you very much for the dollhouse bookcase plans. I did it to my goddaughter and she love it!

We have a pretty small place and not a lot of room for our sewing/crafting stuff. We would leave our machines by our piano, on the floor, every time we brought them down stairs. We needed a better way to store them and this was the perfect solution, and it added a few more seats in our little family room. I build the bench with a one-piece top and added a removable tray for the cords.

This is the prototype build for the Book Box plan.  It was a lot of fun coming up with the decoration ideas, and the build was quick and super-easy.  I plan on making more of these!    I used scrap wood and left over finishes for this build.  

This was a fun weekend project!

I used the Cabin Bunk Bed system as a starting point for these plans.  This was my first major build of any kind of furniture, except for a small basic coffee table and pantry.  I took all the dimensions of the lumber, then put them into SketchUp to make sure the bed would fit in my daughter's room first.  My major mistake was using regular dimensions instead of board dimensions.  That cost me a couple days at least because I would have to go measure, then cut, then fit together.

I decided not to do the drawers because I didn't know how to do it and was exhausted by the time this was finished, so I'm using it as a cubby and robe hanger instead.  I designed the steps myself using 3/4" plywood.  I then painted the bed with semi-gloss white, 2 coats for durability. 

Structurally, I was wary because it shook pretty bad, but put an angled brace on the desk side.  That side was the weak point by far, but I got it sturdy enough for my daughter. 

Only 2 more to build. LOL
