I firmly believe that wooden benches are a must have for every home. You’ve gotta have at least one, but after seeing this cool bench and how easy it is to build, I’ll just bet  you that you can find a place for this unique looking bench in your home!

Old wooden frames, antiquated barn boards, or really any scrap of wood that can be reclaimed is a DIY project waiting to happen.

I have a bench outside my front door and one sitting in my entryway and, let me tell you, if I didn’t have them I don’t know what I’d do. I sit groceries on my bench outside my front door and my purse and other items I need, for the next day, on the bench in the entryway. They are really convenient to have in these two places.

I love the way the boards look by the way they are offset and not lined up. I think that’s what makes this bench so cool looking, plus the two toned wood that he uses!

My husband and I decided to make this bench to replace the one in our entryway and we moved the one that was previously in there out to our patio. Now we have a handy bench sitting by our back door too!

Check out how MrDIYDork builds this cool little bench using 2x3s with hidden fasteners & a shifted pattern on top. It’s easy to make and could be scaled up to make a table or whatever you wanted.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
