One mans junk is another man’s treasure. Recycle, reuse, repurpose…. or like I like to call it Upcycle! When I was first starting out making stuff I did a lot of upcycles. I thought of them as cheap learning experiences. You can usually find cheap pieces on the street, a garage sale, Facebook marketplace or Goodwill. And since they are cheap, if you totally mess them up it isn’t that big of a deal.
This build is inspired by my most popular build to date… the “OG” Shiplap Hall Tree Bench. In my humble opinion it is an awesome design, but it is more on the farmhouse side. And since like me and a lot of others style is leaning more on the modern side these days I thought it would be fun to design a modern version. Hence the “Modern” Shiplap Hall Tree Bench… think black paint, vertical shiplap, light wood and AWESOME!
If you are like most people you need a place when you first come in your home to drop stuff! Whether it be in the entryway, the laundry room, the garage, or a dedicated mudroom having a place where the shoes, coats, purses, backpacks, etc. can live helps keep the rest of the house from being one big drop zone. So when my client came to me needing a spot just like this for a small space in her laundry room, we designed something that worked perfect for her space. But not only that I think this piece could work for a lot of people and was an easy and fun build that you could easily put your design or personality stamp on.
