if you caught my story from a few days ago you know I made this bench for our dining table and i gotta say, i'm pretty dang proud of myself. it's made with 2x4's and 1x6's. we had almost all the material too, so it was inexpensive! if you dont know already, @homedepot is doing curbside pickup on most items so i highly recommend that option 👌 . . . . #diy #diybench #womanpower #womanwhousepowertools #budgetproject #momlife #momblog #diningroom
