It’s so fun to see it coming together. I’m loving the way it’s looking!
What do you think? Does this look easy enough that you might try it?
When Steph designed her mudroom, she wanted it to have lots of cubbies, locker type storage and look very custom. While it looks amazing, it’s definitely a project for a more skilled woodworker.
I definitely feel that even a beginner could build this mudroom bench!
The brackets are easy to install. In fact, they are pre-drilled for mounting. You simply secure to the boards with long wood screws at both the top and bottom of each bracket.
To finish off the top of the mudroom bench, the shelf board is attached into place with a wood screw at the front of the bracket.
Note: For the shelf and mudroom seat Alex and Megan used pine stair treads. I’ll let you in on a little secret, Alex it just as picky as me. Can you believe it?!
When they were choosing wood for the mudroom bench seat, Alex didn’t like the grain of the wood on the 1×4 boards. But, he did like the grain on the pine stair treads.
What I love about it, is when the 2 stair treads are butted up together for the seat, it looks like one solid piece of wood.
Look what you did. What was your total cost
I believe it was about $200. My son purchased all of the supplies, since this was for his house.
