We've decided to turn our kitchen dining room area into a more cozy and casual breakfast nook. I've always wanted to try my hand at DIYing a custom (semi) built in dining bench, so I used some inexpensive IKEA refrigerator cabinets to make one for our new breakfast nook. I love how it turned out & I'm sharing the how to here!

Suggestions: Cut the 2x4 to shorter lengths so that the cabinets have a slight overhang above the base, particularly in the front to form a toe kick. Cover the exposed 2x4 with baseboard. Cut a rectangle of plywood for the top of the bench as IKEA's pressboard construction sags under weight and with time. Add casters or furniture gliders to the bottom of the bench. Add bumpers to the back of the unit to protect your walls. If you are machine sewing a seat cushion cover, use an iron to press the seams smooth after stitching.
Hi! I am thinking of doing sth like this but I have no idea how. Why do we need casters? Why do we need overhang? Could you pls tell me ?
@@oeendrilaif you go into your kitchen and stand in front of your sink you will understand the toe kick. Your cabinets don't go straight down to the floor. There is essentially enough space for your toes when you are leaning against the counter.
The slight indentation makes it look a bit more visually appealing as well.
Yes, I have seen this done before. Because I was a kitchen and bathroom designer at the Home Depot and we did all kinds of fun things with cabinets. Yours turned out great! ♡
I love this diy just what I needed for my space. Can’t wait to do this
I really needed this easy, step by step video! Remodeling a basement into a sort of mother in law suite and looking for projects I can actually do without feeling overwhelmed…so thank you lol!!
Great job! You've inspired me to do this on my entryway. TYFS!!!
This bench turned out beautifully! I love how you used the cabinets! It really makes the front looks so complete and high end 😍
Style My Sweets Thank you! Yes,I really love the look of these door fronts and they match our kitchen cabinetry perfectly.

Hi Christina, beautiful bench idea, can't go wrong with more storage. You did a great job. I love that you're outside in a tank top with all the snow around you...tough Canadian girl, lol....tfs
Martine Bangs Thank you, Martine! Haha - it's warmer than it looks. (Or maybe just warmer to me because I'm used to -40°c! 😂)
Same here...-17 right now but it's sunny ...
The sun can make all the difference!
Sure can, if it warms up this weekend I want to make a little fire outside...my favorite thing to do...

I anticipate a kitchen remodel this summer. If we take down a row of 4 short upper cabinets in this work, i would like to repurpose them as a storage unit for the living room or under family room TV.
its awesome and so easy to make
Great idea!
Nice job! I love it
Beautiful!!!!
This is so epic!!
OMG love all your pillows!
Thanks Caroline! I just posted a round up of 9 DIY throw pillows - half of which don't require any sewing! You can check it out here: thediymommy.com/9-diy-throw-pillows-sew-and-no-sew-options/
I just discovered your channel today and I feel like I landed on a gem. Your channel will come handy for my needs in more ways I can say. Thank you so much for sharring.
Thanks Nancy!
I love it.
Great video! Great ideas!
Love this.
I’ve been thinking of making a banquette for my new house too. It would be an L shape with pillows. I just wonder how often my littles would toss a pillow in their cereal bowl or spaghetti plate? Still, what a neat way to do lots of seating in such a cozy way!
Looks Fab xx
Bravo il est très beau
Fantastic Job on the bench cover!
Thanks TommY!
I’m going to try this in my caravan.
Great job
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i love your project
Wow Christina you did a great job, I love this idea especially that you can move it around. Did you make your pillows? Love, love the pattern. You're so talented.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!! Where’d you get that gorgeous jute rug?
Awesome job :)
You rock woman.
Very cute
Wow gr8 hack! You are so talented. I can't use a saw, I am barred from using things that could hurt me, not a good track record, lol. Spring and you have lots of snow!!!
Deborah Craig Oh no!! This could be done (minus the trim) by asking a hardware store to cut your base lumber to size, too!
Altagracia Peralta.Dom Rep.I love it, beautiful.
👍👍👍 V e r y n i c e 👍👍👍
Good job
Luv it
Thank you for the tips!
May I know where you got the 2 by 4 wooden sticks/ long planks? If we don’t have the professional-looking saw you have to cut wood, are we still able to pull off this project?
Awesome! :)
