My husband and I have been busy over the past week. What started as a re-ignited love for Pinterest has quickly turned into an exciting list of potential projects… and this DIY front porch bench was first up on the list.
This bench was inspired by the original design over at DIY Candy, and we made a few changes like making it longer as well as taller. We have a rather large space to fill by our front door, and wanted the bench to be an eye catching piece so made the final piece 5 ft long and adjusted the height from 16″ to 18″. If you are considering giving this bench a try, I would definitely recommend raising it up to 18″ to make it a more natural fit for taller people.
I’ll give a breakdown on how we made our bench and what we learned along the way – but definitely check out the DIY Candy blog for more detailed instructions as well as tons more cool DIY tutorials!

While I work with wood quite a bit because of my handmade sign business, the hubs and I don’t make many large woodworking pieces at all. In fact – this was our very first piece of furniture we’ve ever tackled. Today I’m proud would be an understatement and also that if we can do it, so can you!
