To make a full size version of the tatami inspired queen size platform bed, the length and width of the frame need to be reduced by 5″ and 6″ respectively. Otherwise the construction and joinery is the same as the queen version. The materials list is the same as if you were building a queen version, but below is the cut list with the new measurements.
I’ve been looking for a project to make use of some really cool ceramic tiles that I’ve collected and decided that they’d make really unique and stylish end tables. First I needed a basic end table design that would be elegant enough for a nicer living room setting, but could also be dressed down for a more casual setting. As with almost all of my plans, I’ve used materials that can be readily found at big box home improvement stores.
This loft bed plan is inspired by the Rhys Loft Bed from Pottery Barn and Ana White’s loft bed plan, particularly her construction of the frame enabling it to be disassembled.

One of my readers, Scott Hawley shared his designed for a nightstand to match his Rustic Farmhouse Bed. Below are step by step instructions on how to build one yourself.
After making a couple mid century modern nightstands for a bedroom renovation, I wanted to add a desk that would compliment the clean and modern look. This easy to build DIY desk design is inspired by mid century modern Scandinavian furniture and the plan can be easily customized for a desk size suited to your own space. It’s a perfect weekend woodworking project for a beginning woodworker!
Tapered legs for woodworking projects like these end tables add an elegant and refined look. They’re super easy to make using a table saw and a basic, inexpensive jig that you can build in about 20 minutes. In this post I’ll show you how to make your own jig and tapered legs.
