Made this for Christmas for our 2-year old last year. The plans were easy to follow, and it turned out great. She loves it!

We turned the back into a puppet show theater for the kids. We added a shelf up top for storage, inclosed the back and added curtains w/ rod. For the puppets we kept it cheap...found some wooden cutouts and large popsicle sticks. The letters on the front were small ones bought from the craft store and used some paint I had around the house.
Modified the laundry basket dresser to hold 3 baskets and have a storage space for laundry/cleaning supplies in our small laundry room. We were going to paint it white, with some leftover paint we had (at the bottom there) but decided we want to change up the room and add some color. We will paint/stain it once we figure out what we want to do with the space but are using it as is until then.
Thanks for the awesome table plans. I ended up mixing a few different plans to fit what I was looking for. Everyone loves it!

This project took me about 10 hours. I enjoyed every minute of it! I built this bed for my son. I looked at other plans but you had to pay for them and they weren't as good as these. It's good to no that there is people like Ana that is still willing to help people. Thanks for the plans

Hello,
I've been on this website trying to find the plans for the Simple Bed Plan. I have seen many beds made; however, I don't see the cutting list (supply list) of the materials needed. Can you please help me with the supply list? My hubby and I are going to attempt to make this over the winter for a 3rd birthday present for my son. I would really appreciate the list so that we know what materials to purchase. Thank you in advance for your help with this issue.
Sincere thanks,
The Maynors

I am trying to build the Twin over the full bunk beds that stack. When looking at the site it says to use the Simple Bed Plans. When I look at the simple bed plans I get 3 pictures and that is it. I don't get a supply list or any kind of dimensions for the bed. Could you please point me in the right direction. I need to build the twin over the full bunk bed for family coming to my home in early March.
Thanks

I altered the plans to fit the space where it would be going. I extended the length and added another side of shelves. I also reduced the size of the doors a little and made the base a little shorter to reduce overall height. This project required and extra sheet of plywood to complete. I used the Purebond birch from Home Depot and whitewood for the face frame and doors. I liked the finish in the original plan so I tried to make it look similar. I used different shades of brown and also scorched some boards of the door and some areas of the face frame with a torch. For the light areas on the door and frame I just taped off and sanded down. I worked on it when I had some spare time but this project could be completed in a weekend including the finish.
A combination of the Printers Triple Console Cabinet and the Reclaimed Wood Rolling Shelf (x2). We knew we wanted the bookshelves so I made those first. The plans were really easy to follow and I knocked out both in a weekend. Once I got those where we wanted them, it left a void that only the Printers Console could fill. That took a little longer than anticipated and was about at the extent of my woodworking skill (so far!) but it came together perfectly.

Nice... currently working on this bookshelf as well. Yours looks good.
I built this queen size farmhouse bed using Ana's Plan. I wanted hidden under bed storage so I did alter that part of the plans. The box is pretty heavy so i added foot supports to carry the weight. I have access to the storage on both sides of the bed. I have built another version of this bed where i added gas springs to help lift the bed for access but i chose not to do it on this one. As an added feature, i also built a matching doll house bed. I love this bed, and it turned out beautiful.
I was tired of having potting plants and soil stacked up at the end of my driveway taking away from the aesthetic of the gardens so I built myself a potting stand. I love the two tone although I wish I decided on the colours prior to assembling. It would have saved me a lot of masking.

The bed has two matresses, the blocks are there to keep the matresses in place.

Now this is my kind of project! Looks easy but polished. Do you have plans for this?

Platform bed measures:
- Deck: 18x120 mm, width = matress width + 10 cm, length = matress length + 5 cm.
- Headboard: Height 80 cm, width = matress width + 10 cm.
- Beams bed: 36x150 mm, length = matress length - 5 cm.
- Beams headboard: 36x150 mm, height = headboard height - 5 cm.

I would love to make this but I would require plans in order to build it. So if there is any way I could get plans you would make me quite happy.

It looks simple enough, but the headboard looks like it may be tilted. Can you provide instructions on the attachment of that? Thank you
I based my work bench on the "sturdy workbench" plan. I made my top using two sheets of blonde 3/4 inch plywood. I glued/screwed and clamped two 3' x 6' sheets together (had the store cut 4x8 sheet to my dimensions). I didn't stain it but did coat with 3 coats of poly. The legs and supports are 2x4s (i think i used 7 though some was left over scrap) and the shelves were built from scrap MDF I had left over from a previous project. I designed my top to hang over at least two inches (longer in some areas depending on where the supports line up) to make clamping easier and it sits 37" from the floor. I wanted to ensure i had adequate space for my shopvac and air compressor so I lowered the base from the original design to avoid making the workbench too tall. This work bench is a very good size for my needs and extremely sturdy!
I wanted a really long table for my dining room to use at family gatherings so I can host more dinners. This table is 9 feet long and has plenty of space for our needs. I used knotty pine and finished it with Minwax Espresso wood stain. I then added 1 coat of polyurethane as I didn't want the table to appear shiny but still wanted some protection in case of spills.
This project was definitely a labour of love but I'm thrilled with the results.
Made my wife a Ana White DIY porch bench for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Had a custom plaque made: Sarah’s Bench.
Looks beauty on our front porch.

Beautiful bench and I'm sure your wife loves it! Thanks for sharing.
I built the sofa and loveseat from 2X4's and used 1X4's for the top of the coffee table. I used standard patio cushions for the sofa and cut the tops off to use at the side for arm rests.
Always wanted an Alpine lodge, we live in London so a Garden cabin for the kids (and Dad) will have to do!
flip up bed and storage cabinet (for mattress)
sofa bed, foam cushions with leftover curtains
mini storage boxes from wine boxes
inspired by tiny house (especially the sofa!)
Still more to do. Desk on its way and bulk head lights fitted soon.
no real plans just rough sketches and trial and error
Reclaimed wood projects.
We decided to make a helping tower for my little guy for Christmas after I saw it on Pinterest. The curves were not the easiest, but I think they turned out fine. He's just finally starting to use it more as a helping tool rather than a playing platform. Definitely happy that it keeps him from standing on the chairs.
Thank you so much for this plan. I love this site!

Beautiful! Love the colour too. I will be attempting this as a beginner project myself: fingers crossed!

We modified these plans for a customer down to two lockers. We also added a divider for the cubbies on the top per her request. We found the whole thing to be a bit top heavy and easy to get a wobble. Recommend securing it to the wall with a tether or L bracket. Also, it is CRITICAL to not skimp on the quality of wood and getting straight boards for this. We did not and it was seriously skewed for a while until we did a lot of adjusting...and it still has a bow! Also I recommend doing the build all in one day. I think since we broke it up into two days it allowed the wood to warp more than had it all been assembled and fastened/tightened at one time. Message us with any questions! The stain is Minwax Jacobean- one coat. We got the hooks from Home Depot. The customer wanted plenty of storage so per her request we used 8 hooks! Good luck with this build!
