DIY Banquette Bench
I have always wanted to have a bench in our dining room. Then while taking my morning wall I found a bench in the trash and the magic happened.
This is where my bench resided when I found it.
Once I insured the bench was solid, I headed to the store to purchase plywood and have my board cut. I usually have several pieces cut for multiple DIYs. Never waste a cut. Think ahead!
At home I rounded the corners of the board with my sander. They only do straight cuts at the store.
I decided to purchase 3" foam for the bench. It is just so comfortable to sit on.
Using inexpensive fabric I made each of my panels. You can see the actual steps in the video. To add a touch of class I had two of the panels monogrammed. And I love a monogram.
I love this project and I hope you do as well. I'd love to hear your feedback. Cathryn
