This is the perfect project if you can't reach the top shelf in your kitchen or if you need an extra seat at the table. You can make it in about 20 minutes with standard lumber and paint it any way to match your decor. Extend the measurements and you can make a bench that seats 3 people. I painted this with Americana Decor Chalky Finish and used DecoArt stencils to get this antique French/shabby chic look.

Materials: Distressed Harlequin Stencil The French Bakery Stencil, Americana Decor Crème Wax in Golden Brown, Americana Decor Light Satin Varnish, Americana Decor Chalky Finish paint in Lace, Serene and Relic 2 (1” x 12”) pine boards, 17” long 1 (1” x 12”) pine board, 13” long 1 (1” x 12”) pine board, 18” long, 12 (2-inch) finishing nails, Wood Glue, Ruler, Pencil, Paintbrushes
