DIY Bench

So I have been wanting a bench to go at the end of our bed for quite sometime. I knew that there was a specific look I was going for and came across this bench on Pinterest. I of course did a couple things different just because I wanted more stability, cushion, and different sizing. However, the tutorial off of the 2friends & 2cities blog is the best one I have found (big thanks!!).

Supplies:

• Pine legs - Lowe's/Home Depot ~ $25
• 1"x 24"x 72" Upholstery Foam Padding - Amazon.com ~ $14
• Fabric (1 yr. - 1.5 yr.) - Ikea ~ $10
• Polyester Batting - Mom :) or a fabric store
• Staple gun and staples - Mom or Walmart/Home Depot
• Wood Piece - I will update with exact wood asap

Determine the size of bench you want (mine was about 40 inches long and 12 inches wide) and that will help you figure out what size to cut your board (home depot will cut it for free), but we just used our own saw (hubby cut it for me, he is a peach!) Then use the 2friends & 2cities tutorial from there. I am so pleased with my bench, actually I am in LOVE with it and so thrilled I took the plunge to make it. Please feel free to comment or leave questions below. A throw pillow tutorial is next...(yes, I made the three on this bench)
