The Bench<\/strong><\/h3>\n

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved looking through the decor magazines we had at home. My mother was also passionate about home decor, so we had a large collection of magazines and books on the subject. I can even tell you that I still have a few of those magazines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Styles and needs have changed over the years when it comes to decor, but one element that has lasted for many years is benches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, they were only popular in restaurants, and it was always a pleasure for me to sit there when my parents took me. I can’t tell you what it was about them that attracted me so much, but it was already obvious in my childhood mind that one day I would have a bench seat in my house.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We are in our third home, and only this one offered us the opportunity to have a bench in the kitchen or the dining room, since these rooms had to be completely redone. When we made the plan for the renovation work, I had to face the facts, despite my disappointment, that it was impossible to integrate a bench seat into one of these rooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four years passed between the renovation of the kitchen\/dining room and the veranda. I was really happy and couldn’t wait for the work to begin. Before undertaking major renovation work, we always think about how to best maximize the space and add storage.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this sunroom we had a new seven foot wide window with 21 inches of clearance from the floor to the bottom of it…need I tell you what I was thinking?<\/span><\/p>\n

The time had come to make a beautiful large bench that would also serve as storage. Using MDF, my husband set to work to make this magnificent bench.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wanting the colour to harmonize with all the decorative elements, I\u00a0 opted for this beautiful pure white from Colorantic,<\/span>\u00a0Cotton Ball.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Entrance Bench<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Once the bench project was complete, it was time to personalize the entryway. <\/span>Over twenty years ago, a friend gave us a long maple board, three inches thick. <\/span>Finding no place of choice before, we kept it while waiting to find the perfect use. <\/span>For the creation of our new entrance bench, we finally used this magnificent board.<\/span><\/p>\n

To maintain originality, we opted for a single leg and this is painted with the colour,<\/span> Night.<\/a><\/p>\n

The bench is very sturdy, because at the other end it is held in place by metal rods fixed in the wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Decorative Shelves<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The shelves and brackets were made from a joist recovered during the demolition of our very old barn.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also used the colour<\/span> Cotton Ball.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
