Doll house for 18" Dolls
Both my princesses absolutely LOVE their dollhouse. It was my first diy project and it's wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be.

Ana’s Adirondack Chairs are the best!! The plans are so easy to follow and the chairs last for years! I made a pair for myself years ago and still constantly get compliments on them. I now make them (when I can) for gifts for friends for all occasions... Christmas, Weddings, you name it! Thank you Ana for sharing your talents with all of us. Blessing for a great 2022!

These are beautiful, I am sure the recipients love getting them! Thank you for sharing~
Love this bench! Its now finished in a Martha Stewart paint called leafy green and resides in my large bathroom housing excess towels.
I did change this up a little and used 1x2's for the top and bottom of the backing. I drilled my screws in from the top and it went together easily. Then I just filled in all my holes.
one suggestion would be to make a paper template 2 1/4" for the spacing between the rails. Saves lots of time.
This project took me about 3 hours the first time and about 2 hours for each one after.
This bed is so perfect for my studio apartment. I don't have the floor space for multiple dressers, and the modular 3 bench design made it super easy to move in (and hopefully to move back out when school is over). LOVE LOVE LOVE this project.
I also made the headboard.
It is a single sheet of plywood, cut down and covered with polyfill and fabric. We predirlled holes for the buttons, and I set the headboard (fabric side up) across 2 saw horses with a flashlight underneath so I could see the drilled holes. I used nylon thread and a large needle to attach the buttons. There are flat buttons on the backsides of the holes so the thread doesn't slide through. It is hung directly on the wall behind the bed via wire hooks - make sure you hang it from the studs!
I needed a picnic table for my kids to enjoy summer meals outside and when I saw the plans for the Pirate Picnic Table, I knew we needed it! But it was made for toddlers and my kids are 4 and 6 so it wouldn't work for us for very long. I decided to combine the plans for the Pirate Picnic Table and the Picnic Table for bigger kids. I turned out awesome! And then I finished it off with a nautical paint job to look like a bit of the beach was left in the backyard.

That's excellent! I wish I would have thought of something like that when my kids were younger.
I've been wanting to build a pedestal dining table for a while, and loved these plans!
This is a table that will fit a large 1000 piece puzzle. The drawers can hold the pieces you believe would fit in that particular corner of the puzzle. When you need the room on your table this puzzle table is easily picked up and moved without disturbing the puzzle
This table is based on the Flip Top Storage Bench / Coffee Table. While the original design size was almost perfect for my needs, my intended use was as a base for a flat panel TV. For this use, the flip-top made no sense so a modest design change was required.
To add some strength to support the TV, and still get some utility out of the top shelf for remotes, magazines and what-not, I left off the front trim and pocket screwed a couple risers to the top shelf and back trim and attached the top to these as well as the legs.
I had big-time warpage issues with 1 X 12 pine boards, So I settled on a 'speed' approach using a 18 X 72 laminated pine board, which I cut to 52 inches length. These dimensions eliminated the need for second top board used for the hinge mount in the original design. I immediately took it home, cut and mounted it on the table carcass and locked it in position with screws before it had a chance to move on us. My wife then quickly painted it.
I have a sketchup model of the revised non flipping bench. If anyone is interested in that let me know.
I followed Anna's plans pretty closely though deviated somewhat as well. Added additional length and one more seat separators & seat, increased depth by a few inches, changed design of seperators to allow for arm rests, added some additional trim, a second inset shelf w/in the shoe box area (for sandals and whatnot), and then inset wainscoting.
Made from the square x table breakfast nook plans and then altered the table top a bit.
Finally got the time to do the farmhouse table. Changed up just a few things. Flipped the ends around to add more leg room and put a 2x10 as breadboards. Chairs fit in about 8 inches under now and plenty of leg room and I'm 6'3. Only real adjustment is shorten the stretcher board by 3 inches total but just do stretcher board last and measure it to fit exactly.
Also wanted a different style bench so went with the bench that matched the Big Ur Farm Table and Bench and customized the benches to fit. Also instead of 2x4 all across top of bench I place a 2s8 in center. Adds just a 1/4 inch in total depth and looks great and one less board to do pocket holes on.
Used these plans to make this office desk for my daughter!
The apothecary console inspired me to make a dresser with faux drawer faces. I have no plan, since I measured and planned as I go along. This took me waaaay longer than I expected, and everything that can possibly go wrong did go wrong, and even some of things that were perfectly fine went wrong too. I'm blaming the wet midwestern stormy weather for mysteriously expanding two of my drawers. I used drawer sliders and they were more tricky than I expected.
I wanted to make an all-wood dresser, so no MDF or plywood.
I also made a food tray using scrap pieces. It's a little heavy for a tray, but I think I gained enough muscles building the dresser.
We built this bed in a few hours - so easy! This bed is pretty solid too, with the 2x4s and 2x6s. Read about it here: http://jenwoodhouse.com/blog/2013/06/26/kentwood-bed/
I had quite a few 42" pieces of select pine left from the triple bunkbeds I made for grandkids and they needed a space for 3 of them and mom or dad to read bedtime stories so I decided to use the no longer needed crib mattress and build a daybed using that mattress as the cushion. I built it to incorporate a storage area underneath as in a small room every inch matters! My daughter-in-law decorated it with pillows for extra comfort when they are snuggled in for bedtime stories. Very easy build from leftover wood I had.
I wanted to build my wife a matching set of bedside tables for her birthday and loved these plans! However when I measured the space on either side of the bed found that these plans were too large. Some quick calculations later I modified the plans to create some smaller tables and it worked out perfectly! I removed two 2x4s from the top and the bottom shelf and took 7 inches off each of the aprons and voila, smaller tables!
i used minwax wood conditioner, “honey” stain and two coats of polyurethane. Very pleased with how they turned out and the wife was so surprised and happy! Thank you!
Used your idea of a grazing board or charcuterie Board to build one for my daughter for Christmas. I have made some cutting boards for her in the past but now she has a charcuterie board for the specific purpose.
I built this on my own (no help!) in my apartment garage from February 2011 - April 2011. I'm a single mom, so I would work an hour here and there every week or so.
The large pieces had to be cut by HD employees,Small pieces were all cut individually with a hand-saw. The only power tool I own right now is a drill, so this took a while. lol
When my husband and I bought our home we knew we wanted to make changes. The fireplace was an eye sore to us, so we decided to change the whole thing. When we researched on the net on how to make a mantel, we didn't find that many how to's. We have had a lot of questions on how we did it, so wanted to share with others how we did ours. Once we figures out how we were going to build it, it didn't take much time to finish the project. My blog has more details on how we accomplished our mantel. http://supersaturdayldscrafts.blogspot.com/2013/06/fireplace-remodel.ht…
I made this car and truck for my nephew. They were super easy to make and he loves them!

We doubled the height and added another shelf! Amazing build and amazing plans! Thank you!! This was our first build. We are novice
