  • Do you have any old dining chairs that are too wobbly to sit on? You can take two of them and make them into a cool French-style bench.
    Brian at An Oregon Cottage blog did this with no plans--just a vague idea of what he wanted to make. And if Brian can do it, so can you.
    This video explains the simple construction process. If you want to do this, first watch the video then follow the step-by-step instructions on the blog:

    I am an interior designer and I have to say that I am so sorry that I did not come up with this idea, awesome idea, very well executed and looks like a million bucks! I will have to try this one day! Thank you so much for sharing. Keep up the good work!

    Very nice idea although I wouldn't know the designer you're talking about from Adam (mayhap because I am British? ) anyway we have lots of knock off's of similar design and this is a definite for the cabin I'm building. .I can see it in situ. ..making a lovely window seat. Thanks for the lovely idea x

    great job. do you have instructions for the green bench (the beginning of video)? It looks like a great bench...

    • @AnOregonCottage
      @AnOregonCottage  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is a great bench - it's an antique pew! It was falling apart and so had to do a lot of fixing to shore it up so had to painted vs. refinishing.

    I like it the only thing i hate about the video is you talked about how it was made ,please if you make anything else please show step by step on how you made it that way people get a better concept on how it was done

    • @AnOregonCottage
      @AnOregonCottage  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I'm with you Larry and wish we did, too! It was one of those things Brian started on without any idea how it would turn out. Only after it turned out so great did we decide to share it. Hindsight is 20-20. ;)

    Do you have a video showing how you made the french mattress style cushion for this bench? I have a bench that's similar and want to make the cushion like this one :).

    • @AnOregonCottage
      @AnOregonCottage  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, I didn't make a video of it, though I now wish I would've! I did create a tutorial with pictures on my blog:

      Aw - it's a shame you didn't! But thanks for the link. I'm about to embark on making this cushion. Much appreciated :-)!

      @nharis1401 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm sure you've made your cushion by now, but i came across your question and thought I'd forward you this site. I made one from here and it turned out lovely (takes awhile to make).th-cam.com/video/yX5nQWDxVUw/w-d-xo.html

    Great I bet y'all saved a lot of money because window seats are so expensive they cost at least $200 and great window seat or bench

      Sorry, this was one of those things we realized after we made it since it was a spur-of-the-moment thing, lol! We tried to give as many details as we could through this video and the accompanying blog post: anoregoncottage.com/make-french-styl…-from-old-chairs/
