Most fun project ever! The first thing we ever built!!! thank you so much!

Thank you Ana!  the directions were right up my alley!  We have never built anything and now we cant wait to build our next piece!  we used your insturctions and made minor modications to accomodate our cushions.  We got brave and designed our own ottoman and put it on casters :-) We also added a few back support and legs.

We used one coat of deck over paint

Cushions were on sale at ballard http://www.ballarddesigns.com/ballard-basic-seat-and-back-cushion-set-w…

Quality of cushions is amazing!  they were the most expensive part.  We spent $600.00 on cushions.

Wood, putty, paint and screws about 350.
