The Bench Project

Hi there, and welcome to The Bench Project! Kids are napping, laundry is going, dishes are done!

Well, it’s not really finished, I do have to take off the old upholstery and reupholster the entire thing with new fabric, batting, foam etc. + I need to find some wooden legs that are about 11-12″ high (see image above).

As I told you guys before, I had planned on making a bench from scratch, but I just hadn’t gotten to it yet. Until, last weekend where I was spared to build the bench from scratch by finding one at my local goodwill. DIY…
