Sneak Peek: DIY Bench

I thought I'd share the DIY bench project I started this weekend.  This is my first attempt EVER at building furniture, so we'll see how it goes! So far, the actually work doesn't seem that difficult...the hardest part is buying all the elements. I will be making a third trip to Home Depot tonight!

Here's my inspiration.



Ballard Designs Simone Bench - $249-$400

 

This one is probably the most similar to the bench I'm trying to make. 



Horchow Suzani Bench - $979



Love this, but too luxe for my budget! 



Home Decorators Collection Hammond Bench - $199



Most affordable, but no pattern.



Home Decorators Collection Martha Stewart Lomard Benach - $229



Great design for the price, but again no pattern.

My progress so far.

I purchased four table legs from Home Depot

Primed them with some spray primer I had laying around the house. Unfortunately I picked the windiest day for this project!

Then I sprayed them with "Walnut" colored spray paint I had from when I refinished our medicine cabinet in the bathroom.

More to come, stay tuned!
