This bed has been a true labour of love over the last few months!
I made all cuts with a hand saw, and mainly used a kreg jig to assemble the bed.
The 'insert' in the headboard is made from macrocarpa window trim and tongue-and-groove panelling, which was leftover from when my parents built their house. The rest I bought from a local supplier as rough sawn timber, which I got dressed by a woodworking guy who lives nearby. Had I bought all the timber I used, the cost would have been closer to $400.
I didn't add the moulding that is included in the plan - it's just my preference.
It took a bit of work to convert Ana's plans into metric measurements, but I got there in the end! I love my bed
A friend wanted a small box for her cosmetics. She gave me the dimensions of her present container but my mind and my saws envisioned a different end. My only promise was that she would get three drawers. To keep cost low I used only scrap lumber I found around the garage. I added oak dowels for strength and decoration.

I happened across your profile this morning, and I've spent a good part of the afternoon looking through your projects, as you've posted more brag posts than most people I've seen on Ana's website. I loved seeing all your projects and experimentation! Your sense of humor doesn't hurt, either. :) Keep it up, and I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Over the past four years I have learned a lot. The most important lessons are experiment and don't let the frequent screw ups get you down. Lately I have been concentrating on learning to weave seats (reed and rush), build small boxes, and turning wood. Today was terrible. Nice bowl blank I cut from a Hackberry log turned out to have cracks and a really nice scoop built up of poplar and walnut broke into two flying pieces when my gouge caught at 1200 RPM. Only thing to do is start over and hope you learned something.
If you are new to woodworking check for square at every opportunity and be safe. Accidents happen in milliseconds.
This is a great design! I made a few changes to suit our needs: 1. Raised the shoe shelf so shoes can also be kept on the floor 2. Added a few spacer blocks on the shoe shelf to prevent the 1x1 from spinning since there's only enough room for one pocket screw per side. 3. Cut a rabbet in the back of the tall 2x4s to accept the tongue and groove shiplap 4. Used tongue and groove shiplap (pre-painted white from Lowes) 5. Topped with crown molding 6. 6 hooks so everyone has their own hook (although I can see this getting very crowded in the winter) The wife loves it and got me a lot of brownie points right around Mother's Day!
My daughter bought a condo this past summer in St. Louis, MO. It's in an old factory that was rehabbed into condos. It's very industrial looking. Her condo has a lot of open space in the kitchen. She asked me to build her an island. I've previously used several of your plans to build various pieces of very functional pieces of furniture for my daughter, my son, and my wife and me. But this one is one I am especially proud of. I based it off your plan, "Michaela's Kitchen Island" modifying it to meet my daughter's unique needs. The majority of it is oak barnwood reclaimed from my wife's grandparents barns that were torn down to make way for an interstate highway. It is very attractive and user friendly. My daugher couldn't be more pleased. Thanks for all your great building ideas and plans. You've made this dad and daughter very happy.

I decided to do some modifications to the original plans to make it more like the Pottery Barn original. I made the legs 4x4s like the original, as well as the horizontal bases of the legs. The major change that this entailed was in the bottom shelf. I notched the edges of the 1x12 so that it would fit flush, then connected it to the legs with pocket screws. The lowered ledge on the table top is two 2x4s on the bottom, a 2x4 on the front and back, and a 2x6 cut to size for the ends. I then attached it using pocket screws on the front, and just 2.5 inch screws from the back. The rest is pretty much the same as the plans. For the back of the hutch, I used 1x4 carsiding to give it a more finished look. It only cost a couple cents more for each 8 foot piece.
Thanks to our daughter who gave me plans from Pintrest for the popular locker. This is my first project in a long time. It has been followed by a few projects which have been inspired by plans or skills from the site.
Thanks
This table was very easy to build. A little bigger than I expected. You can fit storage cubes in it perfectly.

My niece is here for the summer! We needed a guest bed fast, that didn't take up an entire room! She chose this day bed!
Her bed is in the computer room, so there isn't enough room for a twin size bed. I modified the plans to fit a standard crib mattress. Now, when she isn't using the day bed, it doubles as a lounging spot to read. It is soooo cute!
For the storage baskets, I cut shipping boxes to size and mod podged fabric to them, and added some cute little knobs.

I'm wanting to do this exact same thing with a crib mattress. Could you provide the adjusted measurements you used?
More info on these Triple Bunk Bed Plans on my blog: http://myhomedonemyway.blogspot.com/2013/03/triple-bunk-bed-finished.ht…)
1. Build the Bed Frames: (I will explain the process for one bed...do it three times if you want three beds)
2. Add Side Supports: ( Also do this step three times for three beds. We did it later but would be easier to do now)
3. Add Roll Guard: (do twice...once for each top bunk. We did this later but can be done now)
4. Build Ladder:
5. Paint desired color (you don't have to paint the sides that will be screwed into the wall).
6. Install into the wall in desired bedroom
7. Add Supports (do three times for three beds)
8. Add Plywood (do three times for three beds) 9. Finish

Thank you so much for sharing your plans! This is great, well built, but still easy to do!
Decided to use mortise and tenon on the chairs to make for a clean look since I was staining and not painting. I did use a lot of pocket holes on the table.
We needed a small shed to hold shovels and rakes along with a few other garden implements. This cedar shed has worked out perfectly. We made a few tiny modifications including a small shelf and plywood floor. Thanks for the excellent plans, as always.
Built the drop zone bench with hidden storage in the laundry room. Modified to fit in 45 inch space where a built-in desk was. A fun and easy build. Thanks Ana for the great ideas and plans.

Built my daughter the day bed, and my son needed his own bed. But with a 2 bedroom house they have to share a room for now. So I seen the loft bed and well this is what I came up with. I stained it cherry, and routed the edges to give it a little touch.

This looks great! I like the way you kept it simple yet more rustic type appeal without adding the top board (laying flat).

Thank you so much for these awesome plans. When I saw the original twin panel bed, I knew this was exactly what I wanted to build for my two daughters. I love super high head boards, and these are exactly that. I am in love. I did make some changes to the plan. I went with taller side rails, and used metal bed rail brackets. The brackets were super important. We move every few years being in the military, and I wanted something that would with-stand time and moves. I am also quite impressed how solid these beds are. I could never find anything this amazing in a store. I would also like to thank my husband for his help. It was our first build, but definitely not our last. Thank you!

Thank you for your very nice comments:
Here is some info, let me know if I can help further more.
This is what we used for the base molding and the headboard molding at the top. http://www.homedepot.com/p/House-of-Fara-5-8-in-x-4-in-x-8-ft-MDF-Base-…
For the the inner molding we used two pieces of molding: This is the style (link below) we used, but ours was a little bigger, 5 1/4 inches. Couldn't find it on the home depot website, but this is exactly the same style.
The addition molding below is a finishing molding that we had to use since the above molding was not flush to the back board. It finished really nice. Glad we added this addition dimension. You can easily skip using it with different "above" molding.

For the side rails we also used 10 inch boards. I thought it made the bed look more proportioned. I will add additional pics of the molding, so re-check pictures. Again, let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you! You are the one made it possible. We truly feel inspired when we look at your page. Thank you for sharing all your plans. You are the best.
This was a super fun project and didn't cost much at all.
Started with Ana's basic plan/dimensions. Changed the back legs to 1x6, added aa 2nd shelf and storage closet to hang hand tools/gloves.
