King bed with storage for yurt.
Using instructions from Ana and tweaking them a little.

I made this bed for my daughter who is not yet two, but can climb out of her crib.
I needed to use some different lumber: 2x3's instead of 2x2's and 1x3's instead of 1x2's. I adjusted the headboard, as beadboard was not available and this simple design seemed more suitable for us. I was very pleased with the simplicity of the plan, although I wish I had read it more carefully before I began. I loved the Kreg jig also. Very easy to use.
A friend needed a raised garden bed for her husband who is in a wheel chair. I searched and found the VegTrug's. It took a lot of trial and error. I based it off Williams Sonoma's pictures. I wouldn't of attempted this with out a plan if it weren't for Ana's website.

All the responses say to go to the plan catalog. Link does not work. I looked for an hour. Please help, I really want this plan!,

Not sure what the story is here, Maybe she got in trouble for saying Vegtrug? I would like plans for a DIY Raised planter bed like the above.

Your plans are awesome!! Your YouTube videos rock!
25" height, using it as a lunch table. Did a polyurethane varnish.

This stool is a gift for my nephew's 4th birthday!! The hardest thing about this stool is trying to get all the legs put together without having enough room to get the drill at the right angle. This time, we used an extender piece on the drill bit (duh!) and it was MUCH easier than the other stools we have built.
I used a projector to put the trace the Superman symbol, then painted it.
I hope he likes it!!!
After I found these awesome walnut chairs on craigslist, I did by best to match the stain and build a kitchen table on the cheap for our new house. As you can see, I modified the design into a square to fit the space. I also attempted to create a unique design by making diagonal cuts with the miter saw and connecting everything in the underbelly with my Kreg Jig. My one regret is that after my palm sander broke, instead of buying a replacement, I got a little hyperactive with my belt sander. It ended up making a unique swirl design over the grain. A part of me thinks it looks cool and the other part thinks it looks ridiculous. The moral of the story is never use a belt sander on something you intend to stain.

I've accidentally done the same thing with the sander on pieces of my furniture too. I don't think yours looks ridiculous at all- it is a really beautiful table!!
Made from the modified Mimi's Faux Mantle design from another brag post.

Are you able to tell me how wide this is from the end of one bookcase to the other? I'm trying to find out if it will fit in my living room. Thanks!
We LOVE our new patio set! Total cost of 2 sofas, coffee table and cushions: $530
Cushions B&G Retro Diamonds Deep Seat cushion set purchased from Walmart.
Thanks for sharing the plans!
Adjusted a little from the plans to fit better the space available. Also I used some scrap plywood for the bottom.
I built a storage table and stools for my son's school class project and my wife wanted a set for her mom to give to her on Mother's Day.
This was a really easy and inexpensive project. As I don't have a table saw and I'm scared to death of my circular saw, I had the laminated MDF cut to size and edged. Assembly and painting was really quick. This little man will road test it for me!
My husband bulky this coop from pallets and used Ana White's chicken run plans. Took us a weekend to build the run.
Built mainly from the Modern Media Console plan, modified in a few ways. Aside from the obvious part being the walnut slab on top, I modified the doors to be inset hinges for looks, and it’s slightly longer than the original plans. The other main modification was using the base from the Emersen Console or Buffet plan with the addition of the adjustable height leveling legs.
Had fun building this and and putting on the pillows and cushions.

This is fantastic, just what I need to build. Would you mind sharing some measurements such as height, width and depth.

I think all the dimensions were in the pattern.

oops thanks I feel a bit embarrassed. Going to the plan now, thanks for sharing your awesome build
Our 2 year old granddaughter loves seesaws, so my husband built this one for her. We had just been to Disney World and decided to make the seat Mickey shaped for a little extra fun. He used his bandsaw to cut the seat.
The seesaw is plenty stable enough for us to go on it with her and has been a BIG hit with the neighborhood kids.

Thank you, Ana, for these plans!
Started this project out of boredom. I had some time and some extra wood laying around. Some was from pallets I took apart, some from a salvage house, and some from an old barn. I built the table in a few hours and worked through any misshaped boards as best as possible. It was a relativley easy project and fun to see the legs turn out with each step. I plan to use cables and turnbuckles for the cross braces on the back and will update the pic when I do. I just need to find a home for it now.
These were my first builds. I am so pleased with how it all turned out! My sister in law introduced me to Ana's page and I was off! We have twin, 5 year old girls with their own rooms. They both needed new furniture and I fell in love with the Farmhouse Bed Plans. I used a little of the Mom's Fancy Farmhouse Bed Plans and the Queen Farmhouse Bed Plans. I wanted to use our existing mattresses with box springs, so I put a cleat on the inside edge, running the length of the side rails. Another modification, being that I wanted to use mortised bed locks on the side rails to allow for quick connects to the head and foot boards. I used these from LV: http://www.leevalley.com/en/hardware/page.aspx?p=67916&cat=3,40842,4126… I routered them in using a guide. I strongly recommend them if you are able. You can paint the bed pieces independently and assemble very easily. No building in the room! The other modification I made was that I made the actual side rails higher in order to fashion a trundle bed underneath. The trundle is a double as well, rolls on stationary castors, and on carpet too. I have a single mattress in it and it can be pulled out on either side. One side is for the bed and the other can be used as storage etc. My girls can easily pull it out and put it back in place. Great for sleep overs and extra company! It is technically unattached from the bed, but there are small stationary castors that run the inside length of the head and foot boards on their sides to act as guides for the trundle. I have attached pictures to show what I mean. I did not want it banging around underneath, and the castors are great little guides. I have more detailed pictures, but am having difficulty including them as their file size is too large. Since making the beds, I have also made the farmhouse side tables, and am in the midst of making the Madison Dressers to match! It is all coming together nicely. It took me about 2 months to complete the beds, but that was a few hours here, and a few hours there. I didn't think that was too bad, as I made two of them and it was my first project! Either way, I am very excited and have the builders itch now! So many things to create. Thanks for a great site, and so many ideas.

I absolutely LOVE these beds you made! This is *exactly* what I have been thinking about for my spare bedroom...a mix of the farmhouse bed, farmhouse storage bed, and mom's fancy farmhouse bed! I wanted to have the option of a trundle beneath our spare bed as we frequently have overnight guests that have children, but I thought the storage would be awesome, too! Your modifications are perfect!! I would love to know more and see more pictures...and pick your brain about all you changed/did with yours! Thank you so much fro sharing!

Thank you for commenting. I am very proud of these, I still go and look at them! Haha! I do have more pictures, they were just too big to put in this post. There is a MB size limit. If you'd like me to send them, just leave me an email addy to send it to. I am afraid I will be of little help as far as the measurements go. It was a learning project, but in the end it went well. I can help, but I went by measurements from their existing mattresses and heights, and what I conjured from other plans from this wonderful site! If you do not have one, I strongly suggest getting a Kregg Jig. I did not have one for the beds, but now have one for the nightstands and Dressers. IT MAKES LIFE WAY BETTER!! It is an investment, but worthwhile! You will also need some clamps, but like I say, worth it! Happy building!
