We modified the Weatherly Sofa plans to fit the 29" cushion covers we found on sale at Pottery Barn, and we filled the cushions with the DIY inserts from Cushion Source. Instead of using 1x2's for the X's, we used 1x3's and my husband spent the better part of an afternoon trying to figure out the angles!
The wood and paint came to about $100, and the cushions were $500 for the inserts and covers (6 cushions and 14 pillows) when all was said and done. A bit expensive, but we love it!
Estimated Time Investment
Week Long Project (20 Hours or More)
Finish Used
Antique White paint from Sherwin Williams - we're going to cover it with a satin clear finish once we get our energy back!

Looks Awesome!
I am surprised at how good white cusions look on white wood. Where did you get the cusions and how did you build the feet?

We got the cushion covers
We got the cushion covers from Pottery Barn during their summer sale and used a 20% off coupon, then filled them with inserts from Cushion Source (DIY section)
The feet were just feet from Lowe's - we just screwed them on!

What a Great Project!
I'm gearing up to build my own sectional and I'm wondering if you changed any other dimensions besides the ones for the X's. I think it looks amazing and I'd like to know what size lumber you used for yours. Thanks!

Beautiful
I would REALLY like to get these new measurements from you. I like the way this looks better with the 1x3's and I don't trust myself to be able to figure out those new angles. Could you please give me the measurements you used to make these X's out of 1x3's? Also, it looks like you used 3x3's for the posts? And maybe 2x3's for the sides and bottoms of the x's. I'm not sure and I'm dying to know because this is beautiful. I'd like to make it soon. I really appreciate your help. Thanks!
