Mud room bench, done!!

<p>HELLO! It’s Friday and the bench is done! Can I get an AMEN? </p> <p align="left">Last I left you it looked like this: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQSAwnGvdtwGfYjGJ7F0VSxu1hFlThmsv64m-GvC5FBn1I-e4B3Y5IPc4-mQz75H02oeGy6wcIDf6OeDCJACfjdd7biLG_64uj1Z0i9jEqtiot23nYte62wNHklQRKv7NYRhiiOZSRsKo/s1600-h/IMG_8025%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="DIY built in bench" border="0" height="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl6SwbQ6aB10qf2terx9JjB8LOsCA4WIpH5uGGW4zIZ3dNRvRA5hSDMI6OpByD7HUk3ulvhNFwibn5iHuc5Lb46AK19cT7fl44ePP2x8JV48rmnjht9NmcJ4z8CqWuU7pL3tESoTyE6FA/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="DIY built in bench" width="450" /></a> </p> <p>Not bad but not done. </p> <p>Like I said, it felt like all I had to do was paint those cabinets and slap on the hardware and I’d be done. But there was more. Lots more. </p> <p>I’ve shared how to paint cabinets here but I’ll share the basics again today. Cause I’m in a good mood. :) I was starting with unfinished cabinets so I didn’t use a special primer, just a basic one: </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaH_a-4Lpo_lmvYLn9xSrKFf49V5ZEkU_n0Mn5FZiFqqYUaALQHisaP0_krdl4TwC9-kt_Lw4gqBd4iF8TPtBLxw6w3LDXG0XHOdOy41pWOnm2JgbMRKmpbXmNlkQ1dHe3x9Z0ILv7KPU/s1600-h/IMG_8177%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="tinted primer" border="0" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2u55WfuiMVgGuMs0FBOR2VhLeKUTxTwv_f4ASUUkREnDwCmh0KWbZ15Xax4rmpnMOE7K46Hihvj20Qd7yDrIQqwsGKLq3nudCBTZykCUGEDYvt2GIERd-_j_SjsM0ToFKmctC6Rm2Fog/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="tinted primer" width="550" /></a></p> <p>So I experimented this time with a different color primer. Every time I prime unfinished wood it takes SO many coats to get nice coverage on it. So I tried using my tinted gray primer this time, thinking it would coat better at first, giving me a better base. </p> <p>It did! But it still took three coats of white paint like usual. :) So it was a wash. But I learned. Something. </p> <p>Anyhoo, after applying one coat of primer, be sure to sand everything lightly between coats: </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdBaDe0UpLVY-S_wvTMi0kyZoZPqRV0dl_lIkhGy2wfynVwfgsYq1Guqw6Jk0vj8fE8uWDGJxw-TNln72K7M_RIK-DSjW2U-4spKQX88MOrjQTaauOqJhk00PSdWXDlCpik9ZV3iN1ank/s1600-h/IMG_8176%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="painting cabinets" border="0" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbfzJr-Z9kbSC4I73FKuIxYYBGmxVYufaAZm6r5UhX38UJ9FbwdFm88nDP4mrkTexZaa3mKgBV0ViExU2ftsBViIVRCuSVr1NA0i4KveYSrEbCySbEKjlb9JIpHsSIKEeZEEWHH9d_RLA/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="painting cabinets" width="550" /></a></p> <p>The primer and paint (mostly the first coat or two only) will pull up the grain on the wood: </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgskHGohWe2TNZFvPPnh_daGoklgXtaKymvgLWa9xr4n8EVLIBhgtb_xOYVZ21l3gKeV0k300DS8s_h6dZGuQAnCP8SJc-0zL4EV2UwXtVeHB72oVw2P2mqKRHrqvWoLqi3r1nF04tmnb8/s1600-h/IMG_8180%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><font color="#4c4c4c"></font><img alt="painting cabinets" border="0" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGh2gAY5O-AyasCuXySFYu-aESwCyVa_7AFC95SK9IynT2bG095BWiqwqCN85fLQ5O3gN48-DK40pbV0Af4dXTnaFg1HwIaogDjjo4AbUNLVHLd3_2T3cL3PvPDiClSeswhrJVQZ1mNO8/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="painting cabinets" width="550" /></a></p> <p>So you want to knock that down a bit. </p> <p>So I used my basic white paint (off the shelf) I use for all of my trim and built ins but I could tell it was getting old. I noticed on the basement kitchenette that it was getting thick and hard to work with. So after attempting one coat on the bench I went out and got some new white paint, this time from Sherwin Williams: </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjch8d-A11Roye7nMQctCd3u-J2mjGCvjY7WNSadlfyFAFzd7EzLpE_F3acgCXsuL7COwBKdBYdDl1m3RBF1-przLFAdXnId4kmfS-IvFjRg3Fp1evyhW6m9ZJp2ejh4aryCInUDcMe8UE/s1600-h/IMG_8204%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="proclassic sherwin williams" border="0" height="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFeIBi1AewlwVHemIOn91hysU2xV-tp0jH9NvcMz23FNN6aKJbdzGV6ryghdGTKjBQ0vFLHge5ZLGgOdCEIkag5buX8M2srKZQOuxRBq8a1qvTqFxE79CkDl8OhqsGmrYtacAe9Hu0NGE/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="proclassic sherwin williams" width="450" /></a></p> <p>This ProClassic is AWESOME – I used this on our kitchen island and it’s held up GREAT. It’s their base white called Extra White and it went on SO easily and so smooth. Love it! (And no, I’m not paid to say that, I have just become a die hard SW fan over the past couple of years.) </p> <p>I did three coats of white on the cabinets, then put the doors back on. It was then that I realized that the bottom trim looked like poo: </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIoNMK3hefT5EbeBWdA4XBu5BPchvgjECs1AdBPoSE1TW5jCcejRmJgg1h2pHLgMcC7Sfa_OWAHAYoHbNqx778ju2ef-SfY9FELHsXNbfArHOtVcNvaQSFA2aazSvqD7KbqR-X93_4J00/s1600-h/IMG_8181%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="built in bench" border="0" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtBbnMLuppfgK4DMhwdgbPHrqQQBIjs0wRsh9VkRs9i4P9KM2AsGVXlDrONyfkmwDHYkV_cGL_fatCQj3UO90jkGsSu-Op_zf-Hx11Y83BuKCDgLPD1aG7QC4hcCXZaTJ7o5ael9YwK_g/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="built in bench" width="511" /></a></p> <p>It was flush in the middle and but not on the sides so it looked weird. I had some scrap trim that I used for the base so I just placed that right over it and I’m so much happier with it! </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJTeSSSCVwtS_QCg0Ul7UV9xTkwVPC58cKh0g6LfTc7bTAYTcbMLhgpPsohh_05WYfIfDzcNXA9oYWHEJeJnolXJD01AXOArgEYeLFgxcxMOERcB-ZyCav_DMAJPBr99JosuipM9u11Y/s1600-h/IMG_8207%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_8207" border="0" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmvlHBJJw51lnz9mjHEndChpmsWQqGuaSWs7DUrNr7GtScPPLKcxiw5kTUH1wfetxB6hDMMzLI5EBHo18LPWoUtZAAyEog_jkUvqNh6bO5WcIfr8ARZMjL1kU8QXX0RQNmmnHXiCqjJZU/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="IMG_8207" width="500" /></a></p> <p>Another big project was installing the trim around the top of the beadboard. Once I was done I knew I had to address the corners. I don’t have a table saw so I scored my beadboard down to make cuts to fit into the inside corners and outside corner. The result was crappy but I knew I would fix it: </p> <p align="center"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQyZzWK2OR4S8-5mU_kaWH0hbe6y7T8wuO-fJDceM7mFuripobZFu2sj9ZwiSUjZhWENJSjauuWbbokXUbfM3rVYekm1W3LNBwZ2Ht9npzm3OeBneESkeW4QDntttVHIHBZkDMm4aUT_A/s1600-h/IMG_7995%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="beadboard corners" border="0" height="435" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibGiuYqC7-c3unuFtLTLzFq69FMZPG2IyOIYIYSjAQyJVPyc0JBpbYHfxk44w-T_afn_E6x9qPhwJlQxonygjXqw1MbncMRaTC33nVkaGCF1VGC8lrXLzC5Ft3QwxbSpuyooF44x7bNGw/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="beadboard corners" width="290" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnbGKjnIfkmfejv8YP8bKYUKyrbtkF7VamDYW8Dm_VxG2Hfnm1PkqSb6pbZAtyv5cDbxKeTTdD8bypVZ41QrMEqCXX5uL9wkrQonIvYhzs02nYrAP8qkMJ7kHk3KyHE9cTV-bRWgU0DC8/s1600-h/IMG_7996%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="beadboard corners" border="0" height="435" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGko-0w0CGLsr1VA1-RoeZ8HgvNXpSG-Cmea9l8X7_FLyrE05lQNIhx8bX1X6GfF_ZoM7MJ_tWt2p7QkaieMeGZSmhaE9HUMVdr40H2BhPStzpSDDdk108-8BhGBpFvlCWjH94elArfKM/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="beadboard corners" width="290" /></a> </p> <p>See the big gaps?

It’s the perfect solution since it just looks like the “bead” of the beadboard. </p> <p>Now with the dowel rods and some caulk you can’t even tell there were gaps there: </p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEDQE2tgWN-K52puVu_3nFQixYNYUw8iIALs5kmGMpJhPgTCvmm2FIYlGhGYU5fDDur9aMObtIPppOEzDOxKZRH0kQP6BQgXMSCxvxFlLmdeyPeM9lRzA9O4QOx6SzhQ4H7GuBPEqDNr4/s1600-h/IMG_8210%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_8210" border="0" height="389" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8kL7H1LNmTZ5TLSYDYUR4MqoMsEWfakmPZaA-K9MXkiQqMhz6UfsFQG8CerotjdItIUK2ycS_YZsEogFJtughkF1mGH-7dLy7H1lLcTxEFs0HLhWmN8TVTLQaatxpudbMK44GimRJuOo/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="IMG_8210" width="290" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOJSQ29kS_nE_0Q3_PEOWha3uwvBV682_1Wh8mk4KjGBK6z6VfOhQguiC-IGFjlb-R3RLyYBO-XCRlVoMTbSAm5CZe7ZVliQM94Rt7MVSiLdlD_fWJ3AJR_GDAScRtNynSSsMyiAibsjc/s1600-h/IMG_8211%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="IMG_8211" border="0" height="443" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF03htu_w_5b9y7CofuTMCJl9TavmYhp5kgMJfcHGHp6bDgb30k5bhTjG2KKT9sUJ0DW2ifhjA7kADsl-Ergj1sQDOqmZ9RvdpihuNIXIaCcteMvQLYimCori0Jv2IvON7giJebWoyVaY/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="IMG_8211" width="290" /></a> </p> <p>After all that, and touching up some more paint, it was time to poly the bench: </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguj9SJeSUnpc3fdon1qgXGAoeryxPmmzIBp_2ECEMunx4uxhHh9-C_cddIRCCoexBtS4M6mLsVrDWiHAr9qvE7hetb1FOr4vAbi7TdB456dnCXhUjd0XqKP_L88G4UDruNzEuiHMz6ogg/s1600-h/poly%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img alt="poly on wood" border="0" height="675" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM-qHddweWeVf8v6aDeMxJgM22lMeps9MJaC6PUx6flbVepgVq-7pc-kD4PdjZIF530pfmHiXv6uiP5lN_RMulw6pBsrOy24yP5ZLCrdzos4KFQVGpnzAD1AWTTSMwbH9DXl3Wt3BD17c/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="poly on wood" width="450" /></a></p> <p>I did one coat, sanded lightly and then did one more. </p> <p>And here’s the final result…<em>finally</em>:</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHPxAsDC8vpgDsGNQom8os4MjiA2Pk1uetEz250b7e-KLk_8yTXR8zlcMnCZR5VJ9GPMaJk5uW80WwWEzhuLNk59cD9SOq8qsp7k-7idmfeeBKHjyp4Y-eZlzcu19Bk2TNf3zkV286ZBg/s1600-h/IMG_8217%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="beadboard and built in bench in mud room" border="0" height="780" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZR_z8qQt0hPk4Gf-RcBkwagbQxzv87cC3xh41DQUJl5FXK5S5MVPxziw2WjTUwJz4KtaysKr6bg0CsTm7qtoymYFjsluKA9FkhqHrtavGA3XSAfpxeGr1YHvgEdhuZggANfJ1d3C8e3g/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="beadboard and built in bench in mud room" width="475" /></a></p> <p>I still need to paint the trim around the doors, and a ton of other stuff.

For the <strike>months</strike> years that I was planning this room I didn’t think I’d be able to do the bench myself. I knew I could build a bench, but a bench with <em>storage</em> I figured I’d have to hire out. I’m SO pleased with how it came together: </p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh9gVhyphenhyphen-F5pp-z_Ya9onbTSBJImIJfv-A8goqnt14rzSoa8QVqNK40LwHYVDBTKmC8Z8vZG4t5fnDBVmfazGCztAWZkgOWbbTKiDVz3OcpisbkF-u8zc6xnkQfR1iENCy5FeLEDXOb29c/s1600-h/IMG_8214%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Bench made out of kitchen cabinets" border="0" height="750" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZaEIsYks4t7EloynLAEr90jrqZDpkURxCTMo2MVKMP1gFuQFJU6_qRvrg4f9fKL4nt60X8_BsAAnM3yrsbeqwX6c84hO8C7HR-e0wdMHbbv1t4mB2J2bmcDEQ0hQJYl8xEmEzX_tZR6g/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto" title="Bench made out of kitchen cabinets" width="500" /></a></p> <p>That center panel I was worried about between the two cabinets is now hardly noticeable, with a lot of sanding, spackle and paint. :) If I could do it again I’d have the cabinets next to each other (and no space between) but I couldn’t figure out how to get them secured to the wall if I did that. </p> <p>I’m in love with the hardware in here too – it was all from Lowe’s.

(My plan is both.) </p> <p>For now I’ll take a break on this space and just enjoy it! The cost for this area was about $300 – that includes the additional beadboard, the trim, the butcher block from IKEA and the cabinets. I used scrap wood for some of it too. </p> <p>I am looking forward to adding some decorative stuff in here down the line – but for now just being functional is pretty awesome!
