  • For this medium-to-advanced level DIY project, we teamed up with #sponsor Lowe's to transform an empty wall in a dark bonus room to a light-filled window daybed with plenty of storage!
    This was one of our most challenging projects to date-our first time building drawers and installing a window, but with a lot of careful planning and the right tools, we managed to pull it off!
    This video shows the highlights of our process, and for more information (including build plans and links to all the tools + materials we used) make sure to check out the blog post: blog.jennasuedesign.com/2018/1...
    You can also view and shop some of the materials used here: cur.lt/2ShB6LT
    This video was made in collaboration with Lowe's #lowespartner. Stay tuned for more DIY projects and room renovations at the Riverside Retreat, coming right up!

    This looks sooo cozy and inviting(You would have trouble getting me off the bench). The window took it to the next level. Great transformation!

    I have to say that I like that "little bit nothing" light you have dropped from the ceiling, I didn't notice it at all the first time I watched. It is perfect, it does not detract and shows what a subtle and elegant designer you are! Just amazing.

    This is absolutely gorgeous and so cozy, I'm going to figure out where I can put one in my 90-year-old house in New Zealand. I love how easy-to-follow your videos are, inspiring but never overwhelming. Thank you so much for sharing this project! ♡

    Looks amazing Jena. My house flooded from Harvey here in Houston and I painted all my kitchen cabinets and every cabinet in the house Pure White from SW it's such a gorgeous white I love it. Sometimes according to the lighting it has a very faint shade of gray. I love it.

    OMFG - use the speed square as a guide... that just blew my mind! So simple and obvious yet this is the first time I've ever considered doing that. I now feel stupid for years of avoiding my circular saw due to my exceptional ability to not cut a straight line. I know it was just an off-hand thought for you, but thanks anyway you just changed my shop life. 5:23

    I love how you say "WE", when your husband is working his butt off! Somebody has to hold the camera, right? Great solution and thanks for posting this tutorial. I like how the hardware and the sconces and even the mullions of the windows all tie together. I would have been afraid of being a Joan Gaines wanna-be for using the "shiplap", but I don't see that here. Question: did you use primer on the bare wood or just a couple of coats of paint? Did they put a zipper on your "mattress"? Some people would put a little lip on top of the bench to hold the foam, but you could always velcro it to the top if it slides around too much. Excellent work again Jenna Sue. The basic construction of this can be used in many different applications.

    • @JennaSue
      @JennaSue  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! The SW paint I use always has primer built in so no need for an extra step. The cushion is zippered/removable, and does not slide easily at all (there is a small lip on the bench, hard to tell) but we would add velcro in the future if needed.
