It's amazing what a difference a few years makes w It's amazing what a difference a few years makes when it comes to DIY skills! 🛠 Comment BED PLAN for a link to this Hanging Bed DIY plans so you can build one, too! There's always more than one way to build something, and it can depend on what tools and skills you have available. This Hanging Bed was one of our first major furniture builds, and it taught sooooo much! But after many more builds in the following years, we wanted to upgrade it and test out our new skills. So we sold the original one and got to work upgrading it with higher-quality wood, more durable & eco-friendly wood finish, and even a new headboard style. It was so worth it to us! Each DIY Plan includes: ✨️ Complete Materials List ✨️ Examples Built Photos ✨️ Detailed How To post ✨️ Guide on how to read engineering drawings ✨️ Detailed DIY plan set with 3D images/piece sizing ✨️ Even a YouTube of us building it Psssst, we have plans in all standard bed sizes 😉 Transparency alert: it's $12 *Link will be sent straight to your DMs. If your account settings are set to not receive messages from others, you might not see it.

The first step isn’t buying tools or wood... I The first step isn’t buying tools or wood... It’s having a solid plan! 🛠 Too many DIYers dive in without a clear roadmap, leading to frustration, wasted materials, and unfinished projects (trust me...I've seen it a lot). A good plan takes the guesswork out of measurements, materials, and steps so you can build with confidence. If you’ve been putting off that dream project because you don’t know where to begin, start with a plan and if you need one, I’ve got you covered! 👇 Ready to start your project? Drop COLLECTION in the comments to grab our DIY plans! 💥 OR if you want a little help on DIY project planning, budgeting, and time management👇 Comment PLAYBOOK for our DIY Project Planning Playbook which is our exact roadmap to help you Plan, Budget & Build with Confidence. #buildIiyourself #DIYhome #biglivinglittlefootprint #woodworkingplans_diy #woodworkingprojectplans #buildfurniture #diyfurniture #diyworkbench #diyplans #diylife #diyideas #diyprojects #kansascity #etsyplans *Link to our plans will be sent straight to your DMs. Make sure to check all the folders (ESPECIALLY the Requests folder) and follow @bigliving.littlefootprint first, so messages don't get hidden!

Drop PLAYBOOK in the comments and snag our plannin Drop PLAYBOOK in the comments and snag our planning framework & budget spreadsheet today! Seriously, people always ask us how we plan our DIY projects… and we could say MAGIC (which is a little true with our budget template IYKYK 🪄), but the truth is—it’s all about having a solid plan before we ever pick up a tool. Here’s the reality: ❌ Winging it leads to budget surprises & last-minute store runs. ❌ Not planning steps ahead = projects dragging on for weeks. ❌ Guessing instead of budgeting = spending WAY more than expected. But when you have a clear step-by-step plan, budget, and timeline? DIY actually becomes FUN (instead of frustrating). That’s exactly why we created The DIY Project Planning Playbook — so you don’t have to figure it all out the hard way. ✅ Plan your entire DIY project from start to finish ✅ Create a realistic budget & track every expense ✅ Break projects into simple steps so you ACTUALLY finish them No more DIY chaos, just a clear framework that makes your projects stress-free. Want to steal our system? Snag the Playbook now by dropping “PLAYBOOK” in the comments or hit the link in bio to snag it, too! OR if you just need a budgeting tool, simply grab our DIY Project Budget Template if you're not ready for the full framework yet (Comment TEMPLATE for the link).
I’ve made every DIY mistake in the book—mis-me I’ve made every DIY mistake in the book—mis-measured cuts, wasted materials, projects that took way longer than they should have. But here’s the thing… every lesson learned is now YOUR shortcut to success. 💡 That’s why we create easy-to-follow DIY plans and in-depth How-To posts. So you can skip the trial-and-error and get straight to building with confidence! Our DIY Plans make projects so much easier, giving you: ✨ Complete Materials List (no last-minute hardware store runs!) ✨ Step-by-step How-To posts with pro tips ✨ 3D images + precise measurements so you know exactly what to do ✨ Guides on reading engineering drawings (so plans make sense!) ✨ Example build photos + sometimes even a YouTube build video! 🛠 Comment COLLECTION for a link to ALL our DIY plans!
