DIY Window Bench

My Glamour BENCH


So we have this huge Bonus Room, and I couldn't find a chaise or anything as wide as my window.
We decided to DIO Do it our self.

Analyse Requirements:

Find out what you need, we needed a storage bench, measured our area and research your options.

Find the measurements, and buy material:
We bought sanded and exact sized wood at Home Depot, and bought hinges and espresso paint stain.




Implement

Added screws, and created a box. You can see any tutorial see below

Painting time

Clean the bench or sand as needed, and paint all the sides except the top, I did good 3 coats. And a satin finish spray in the end.


Upholstery


Bought fabric, foam for padding, & staple gun. You will need someone to hold the fabric tight. See this below

NOTE: DO THE CORNERS in the end.











Test and Enjoy

Added hinges, did quality check by laying wildly and placed  my pillows.


Tadaaaaaaaaa



And then next day more pillows.....we store the pillows in the storage...

next season I will change the upholstery to something different and am thinking of adding something to the front wood..so stay tuned....
