A blog about making the switch to an interior design career. Includes design projects, DIY, art, and other tips I learn along the way.

I created this bench about 6mos ago in a video tutorial. To date, it is one of my most successful posts on YouTube. But then, I was looking through my blog posts and realized I’ve never shared it here. Like, why!? Needless to say, today is the day. So let’s get started.

I've had many requests to do a Window Bench tutorial from my Nursery Reveal post. It was something I saw myself on pinterest and other blogs but had a hard time finding a good tutorial, and there's nothing more I'd like than for you to make one yourself!

Learn how to turn an IKEA Sinnerlig into a beautiful upholstered bench in an afternoon.

Fuzzy benches, ottomans, and stools have been running amuck on Pinterest lately, but hey - not mad.  I love how frivolous and playful they look.  You would never have an entire couch like this, but as an accent? Amazing.

Have you ever seen a beautiful piece of furniture in a boutique or design magazine and decided you'd sell your soul to make it yours? I recently saw a woven bench online with the most perfect caramel-colored leather and couldn't stop thinking about whether or not I could make my own.
