Another Fell Family Project is complete!  

Here’s a reminder of what our front porch originally looked like…

Rob took some bench plans from Ana White’s website, modified them, and created this…

I took a few pictures along the way…

It took Rob pretty much all Saturday morning to construct the bench, then all afternoon for the both of us to paint it. 

We used two coats of paint and primer in one for exterior surfaces.

I’m really thrilled with how it turned out!

We did have to move the flag stand, but I like it better where it is!  I found the weather-resistant pillow in the patio section at Lowe’s for just over $10.

In total, this project cost around $150.  

We’ve already decided on our next “Getting Crafty…” project.  Rob and I have been talking about building a new coffee table and end tables for our family room.

We have found the perfect idea for end tables!  Check it out…

An end table and puppy crate in one!  Love it!!  Of course, we’ll have to make two.  Can’t have one bully be jealous of the other!

Until next time…

Happy Blogging!
