Perfect plan Ana , very easy to make. Swing hung on the A frame bulid with 4X4
So thankful for the blueprints I found on this website. Table turned out amazing!!
Such a cute, functional table that was easy to build!
I love the toddler upholstered bed plans, but my daughter rolls all over the place while she's sleeping. So I added sides and put cut out butterflies on ladder hooks in front. She named it her Princess Butterfly Bed because everything is princess.

This is just darling - so cute for your little princess! Love how you upholstered the sides along with the back.
Beautiful fall decor console table.
The 'Clara table' was my hubbies first true build. He built this table for our daughter last summer. She loves it and it gets used on the daily. :) We went with a solid top instead of separate boards. It might have added a little extra cost but not much.
I loved the rustic look of this plan but decided to use prime pine and sanded it smooth. I also used tongue & grove 6" cedar for the backing running horizontal instead of vertical to not make the shelf unit look tall and skinny. I covered over the 2 side edges of the tongue & grove cedar with a pine strip 5/8" wide all the way from the top to the floor. I also increased the height to add an additional shelf. I definitely suggest using a Kreg tool. I also recommend not plugging the Kreg pocket holes. They look terrific just stained. I also recommend not bothering to screw the top slates together. Just glue them using clamps.
Here are the plan modifications I made for the extra height & shelf:
- sides 76 1/2"
- legs 78 1/2"
My next project is to make another shelf just the same except to make the shelves 31 1/2" wide. This time I will use 1"x4" backing vertically.
The end product looks spectacular. You couldn't' buy a bookshelf like this anywhere.
Mini sliding barn doors. Made this piece out of pallet wood and used red oak for the top.
Decided to try out my new tools on making a bed frame. Please note, I have NEVER made anything before, this was my very first project (go big or go home, right?). After a bit of research, I found Ana White's site, and am so thankful. I took the basic plans for a king size bed, but modified them to fit the look I wanted. I found old flooring at Habitat for Humanity and sanded/ stained/ sanded/ stained. I used four different stain colors, but really tried to mix everything up with the colors. The bed frame turned out amazing!
2x4 sofa and Chair. I added a couple pieces to the back of the sofa to stop the cushions from slipping through and another 2x4 to the top for a little more height. Stained a dark teal.
Doll bunk bed painted in white with purple patchwork bedding.
I modified Ana's plans a little for our own needs. The simplified design feels a little more masculine to me and matches my boys' bunk beds a little better, too. I used pine. The 1 x 2's are select pine, not rustic, because that's all our HD had to offer. I wiped the whole thing down in tea, let it dry and then used a rusty vinegar solution as a stain. Gave it a few coats of varnish and voila! Love the final product. Thanks, Ana, for an incredibly empowering and motivating website. :)
I built this for my wife for Mother's Day 2016! Also built the centerpiece box. If you know how to use a miter saw, jig saw, and read a tape measure....then you can build it too!! It was a lot of fun and very rewarding!! Took around 25-28 hours to build and finish. Let me know if you have any questions. My email is [email protected]

This is a simple and cheap way to decorate any space. Just use some 1x2's to make a square frame. Stretch the fabric over the frame and staple it. You can make one large one or many different sized ones to cover a boring wall.
I saw this plan posted and knew I had to have it for my son's new bedroom. Most of the build was simple, it just got a bit tricky fitting in the angle piece at the top because I wasn't sure how to attach it without having a nail gun. Every time I line it up to nail it in with a hammer it would slip a bit. So I ended up using Gorilla Glue Epoxy to attach it. Since it's not hanging on the wall by the very top shelf, I didn't need it to be rock solid to support any weight, just needed it to stay in place.
I had scrap plywood laying around so it was free for me to make.
This was our first build and it turned out great! My daughter loves all of the storage under the bed!
I followed the basic plans but added a couple 12x2” metal supports for each breadboard. This was a must. I used Douglas fir for the entire project from Home Depot.
My 2 kids helped me put a few screws in, otherwise I did this myself. The wife really loved it and was a bit surprised coming back from her facial spot on Valentines Day. It turned out better than I could have hoped, especially considering this was my first real woodworking build.
Great plans and nuggets of advice from everyone else made this really fun and not so scary!
