Camp Loft Bed
This wasn't my first build job, but it was the first one where I needed an extra pair of hands. My daughter loves it and so does everyone I know! Thank you for the plans!

Followed Ana’s plans except added custom bottom rail for door stability and handles to guide the doors. Top rail was made rather than purchased.
We bought a new house that didn't have a Fireplace and we didn't want an entertainment center, so I built this for the best of both worlds. Electric fireplace insert, side panels open for additional storage, and left the nook above the fireplace open for the wifi router and other decorations.
When I saw this table I knew it would be perfect for this space! I was so excited I copied "Sweet T" Table and added a faux handle (which is now my husband's new favorite word) I primed and painted it and then put a coat of poly on it. Was a fun project
This project was a whole lot easier than it looked I think that it took me three days from wood in the back of my truck to the finished project. I think that I spent about $200 on this whole bed and headboard. It is sturdy and I really love it.
I've built a few bookshelves and cubbies before, but nothing on this scale. I built this in my basement this past December as a Christmas present for my three-year-old son. The plans were easy to follow. I believe I spent about $150 on lumber. The bed is very sturdy. My kids love it! Now the the other kids want their own special daddy-made bed :)
Built from full size bed plans from Jen Woodhouse. Very happy how this turned out.
I rnjoy your post and the things you create. Very practical furniture to be used. Hung these barn doors over a closet I built in a bonus room. They worked out great. Thanks Anna.
Don't mind all the mismatched furniture in the room, isn't the master always the last to get paid attention to?
My husband had a birthday on Monday and I had drawn up the plans for this a couple months ago hoping to surprise him. Building it then didn't happen....Day of his birthday rolls around and I looked at the clock at about 11, thinking what could I really surprise him with but didn't want to break the budget. I thought to myself, "I could probably get that built by the time he gets home" And I DID!!!
I sandwiched together two 2x4's puttied and painted to make the chunky leg here.
FYI- My husband is really into selling things on craigslist right now so he told me to see what I could sell it for. I sold this within a few hours for $135. That is a pretty amazing profit while still being way more affordable than any store!!! I LOVE that.
So this was my first project copying the plans for my simple outdoor sink and sturdy work bench. I used the same wood and measurements.
The sink was purchased about 5 years ago in Mexico. Faucet and drain at Lowe's. I took the sink to Lowe's to have them color match the bowl and used the same paint.
I decided to use four boards for the bottom shelf plus one as a back stop. I also had to space the top two bracers farther apart because the sink was 17 inches deep ( make sure you measure the sink first. I made the mistake of assembling the base and finding out afterwards that the sink wouldnt fit.

Oh I used the cut out from the sink and added a fold down handle. It is used as a cover for the sink and doubles as a cutting board/ serving tray.
This project took a day to build and about four days to stain with a day of drying in between each coat. Great plans! I love my new couches!
I changed the dimensions and design slightly but used the grandy plans as a starting point. Some changes had to be made due to wood choices. I had to flip the rollers behind the doors as they came out too thick, but I like the look of seeing the whole door. Overall, I’m very pleased with how this turned out.
72”x34”x16.5”
Surprisingly sturdy table and easy to do in a couple hours. I took the added steps to cut the corners at 45 degree angles and took a router to the outside edge of the table top and seats (rounded edges not shown in photo). The kids love it.
I originally started making this for a friend, but I think I may decide to keep it! I didn't purchase any wood or paint for this project - I had a lot left over from a previous project and was able to rip down other boards to 1x2s. The fabric was another left-over... I bought WAY too much to make cushions for the outdoor sofa as I decided I didn't need so many sofa pieces in the end. The only elements I purchased for this chair were the hardware and 1 can of primer... so it turned out to be under $10!
Adapted from the chalkboard produce crate plan.
This is our take on the Farmhouse Bedside Table made from beautiful beetle kill wood. :D

I love the beetle kill pine, that is what I picked up last night from HomeDepot to make mine with. Great Job!
Made out of spruce to keep the cost under fifty dollars.
This was my first AW Buid and I loved it! I am a beginner and the video was so easy to follow. The only thing I needed (and still need) is how to do the off cut angles. I've made several since this one. Love the modern design too. Thank you Ana!

Thank you so much for sending in a photo! I'm so glad to hear the chair plans worked out well for you. This is one of our most favorite chairs too!
My wife and I had another baby girl and Avery was moving out of her crib into a big girl bed. Definitely didn't want to buy cheap so after seeing some amazing plans on Ana-White.com, I had to build it myself. I loved the storage this bed had to offer and the simple look of the large headboard and footboard. I got started, and because of my scheduling i had this built in two weekends but total of about 10-12 hours. Very glad I did it. My daughter loves it, wife was impressed and now one crib free for little baby Vida!

So fabulous! I'm so happy this bed worked for you, we love it in Grace's room too! Thank you so much for sharing!

I've been begging my husband to help me make these beds for my daughters :( Your wife and daughter are lucky
Sat, 06/11/2011 - 22:13
Thanks again Ana! I think I'm the lucky one. My wife has been supportive of me doing little projects and my daughter loves the bed. So, I built the bed but haven't found an applique like on Hailey's bed that is appropriate for a 2 1/2 year old or one that I like. I thought about different things to spice up the headboard but don't want it to look tacky. Any ideas?

Hmm not sure I could suggest anything specific but personally I think it should be something the child won't grow out of. I have a 2yo and a 3yo and they like a different character color etc almost every day. So make sure its something your daughter won't grow out of too quickly.

I am about to paint my daughters storage bed. I too designed and added a footboard and hope the headboard she has looks ok. Yours turned out great. Good job!

You're too nice. Thanks for the feedback. I read some posts prior to building and added 3 inches to the footboard to keep the mattress from sliding off as easily. Hope to see your bed on here soon. I'm looking forward to it.

We were thinking about putting a cork board on there so that our daughter could pin her work on there. It probably wouldn't happen until much later, but it's definitely an option. Maybe some vinyl letters?
Just added my own twist to awesome project!
Built in an afternoon. I built them from a picture on Ana White website and modified a bit with both planes. Roll Tide was routed into a piece of wood and glued to the sides of the plane. The "A" was cut out on the band saw and finished on the scroll saw. The "T" on the orange plane was painted on The tri plane is the favorite. Roll Tide !
