DIY THIS VINTAGE INSPIRED BENCH // BUDGET FRIENDLY HOME DECOR // GET THE LOOK FOR LESS

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Today, I'm going to show you how to DIY this vintage-inspired bench! If you're looking for budget-friendly home decor that'll give you the look for less, then you're not going to want to miss this! :)
I drove over to my local Home Depot and picked up two 2x2 boards, as well as a 2x8 board. The 2x8 board is eight feet long, so you'll probably want to have Home Depot/Lowes, etc. cut the piece of wood in half to make it easier to get in your vehicle. Using a miter saw, I cut the bench seat to 17 inches and the legs to 18 3/4 inches each, all with 15-degree angles. You'll need 4 legs, two middle supports, and one support to bring everything together for extra sturdiness. I made it a little bit easier and included a sketch (in the video) with all the measurements you'll need!
After I cut all the pieces, I laid them out to make sure they all looked correct, then continued to pre-drill holes for the screws. I used 2.5-inch screws to attach the pieces together, making sure the leg pieces mirror each other exactly. After that... the fun begins! I distressed the wood to give it that rustic look using a few different tools: a wood chisel helped me to take off the corners and round out the legs, and a wire brush helped to bring out that beautiful wood grain. Lastly, I sanded everything down with 100-grit sandpaper... and voila.. it was complete! ;)
As always, I'd love to hear from you... let me know in the comments below if you're going to try to DIY this vintage-inspired bench!

    Valerie....you did a awesome job on the bench and though I can't see it in person ... It looks vintage enough for me. 👍. I love these benches and did price them on Etsy a long time ago....too expensive. Every time I go out thrifting I always look to see if I can find one for a reasonable price. Enjoy your bench 😉

    Wow Valerie, your projects always turn out so great. I’d have been way to scared to distress that much but your right, it’s what it calls for. I’m finally moving next month and for the 1 st time in my life I will have a garage. I’m fixing to invest in tools, I’m so excited. I’m gonna manifest my inner Valerie and get to DIYing….lol
