Mimi Storage Bench Revised

Submitted by Nataland on Fri, 07/27/2012 - 15:02

I needed a way to turn my large, open, many-windowed Foyer into a functioning entry way. I Loved Mimi's Storage Bench, but i needed the dimensions to be very different, so I used her bench as a concept guide.
The bench under the window is 76 inches, and the bench on the right that backs into the corner is 58 inches. I used a four inch foam pad. I think the pad might have been excessive- it cost a lot more money than I had intended to spend.
This is my third building project. Previously I built some bookshelves and a set of shed doors.
I would consider this an entry level project. The hinges on my fold down drawers were the most aggravating part. The whole project would have been much easier if I had been able to use Mimi's exact plans. As it was, I had to make my own cut list and purchase list.

Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
white satin behr paint- untinted. I purchased the base paint with no color mixed in.
Recommended Skill Level
Beginner

I love this! It is exactly what I need in my kitchen. Do you happen to have the cut and purchase list you made?? Or other instructions? Thanks!!
