The entryway bench features a weathered gray finish with a subtle charred treatment that highlights the natural grain and texture of the wood, giving it a warm and rustic look. The lower shelf offers convenient storage for a couple pairs of shoes or small baskets, making it perfect for an entryway, mudroom, or covered patio. The bench measures 34" long x 11" deep x 17" high. 

This bench was created from lumber previously used for a greenhouse the owner no longer needed. The frame was stained green, while the boards that once supported the planters were stained orange. I lightly charred the ends of each board and gave the bench a good sanding, just enough to smooth it out without removing the wood’s natural character. I intentionally left all the nail and staple holes visible and finished it with a coat of polyurethane. If you don’t already know, I love creating things from lumber that might otherwise be discarded. The bench measures 36" long by 15" deep by 17.5" high.
