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.
