I'm not sure if I like how simple it is. I think I'm going to add some crown molding to the bottom. I can even add some square wood and a nob to the front to make it look like it has drawers. This designing furniture thing is kinda fun.
But you see, i think it's too plain for my room...
But you see, i think it's too plain for my room... So I went ahead and added the crown molding....my husband showed me how to use the miter saw.
And the coolest part is.....
I made it without my hubby! Check out all the other projects by clicking the link!
This picture is where my inspiration came from. I love the simplicity of this bench but I don't know that I can pull it off in my room. 
But I think I did a pretty good job copying the look of it.
But I think I did a pretty good job copying the look of it.And here is a picture of it in the beginning. Lowes cut the wood for me so really all you need is a drill and a lot of paint for this project. It only took me about 2 hours to build and the wood for it was $12.97! Wow, what a deal!
And the coolest part is..... 
this looks great
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed at what you were able to make at such a low cost. Did Lowe's cut the wood for free?
ReplyDeleteI haven't been brave enough to try one of the knock off wood projects, but yours turned out great. What plan was this from that site? I love the molding you added, I need one of these for the foot of my bed too. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou did such a great job. I am totally impressed. How fun to have made your own hope-chest/bench. I am totally inspired and now want to make one too. Were you nervous to use a saw? This is why I haven't done anything with wood. The big saws scare me:<
