Vintage pew bench alteration

Submitted by Wnolan on Mon, 03/17/2014 - 11:16

I needed additional seating for my dining room table and wanted something a little unusual. When I saw the vintage pew bench, I loved it. After looking at the plans, I determined I could alter the arm height so we could use it at our dining table. Now that we have moved, we no longer need it at our dining table, so it now sits in our entry. It has been a great multifunctional piece.

Built from Plan(s)
Estimated Cost
less than $100.
Estimated Time Investment
Afternoon Project (3-6 Hours)
Finish Used
Miss Mustards Seed's Milk Paint with a clear coat of wax and an antiquing glaze over that.
Recommended Skill Level
Intermediate

Amazing Pop of Color, Love the Bench! Is that a print or painting, may I ask where you found it?

Thanks Ana! It is a painting. I bought it in South Korea while we were living there.

I may be able to track a canvas down for you, though. You would have to get it stretched...it would be too large to ship. I have a friend who is living there now. ;-)

What's the new arm height? I'm going to TRY to adapt this to a 60" bench with two drawers, and the lower arms.
