Stairwell Built In Bench

I always, always wanted a built it bench for that small space between our stairwell and coat closet. It is such a wasted space in our home and I really dislike wasted space.
We had added chair rail and trim to the bottom half of that wall years ago.
Building the frame was very easy using 2 x 4's. We did removed the trim and base boards before starting the project
The next few days were spent building new homemade moldings, adding the top of the bench, installing everything and painting.
And then came the fun part, making the bench cushion.
We purchased a 3 inch medium density piece of foam in an upholstery store in our city. They cut it for us exactly to the dimensions we needed. You can find a tutorial link to make the cushion in my blog.
And a couple of decorative pillows finished up this space.
It was a fun project and I love how it looks like it was always there.
Enjoyed the project?

Looks great! However, if you despise wasted space, hinge the seat and use the interior space for seasonal items.
