"I knew we needed additional storage on our main floor for additional kitchen supplies, decor, appliances, etc. I had purchased three store-bought storage benches, but they just weren't cutting it."
"I think drawing it out and laying out the steps was super helpful. I could make sure to start the project off with the right materials and a rough idea of my budget."
"I debated changing my whole design to try to avoid the outlets, but realized that would really change my vision, and I knew I needed to try to move them."
"Honestly it went super smoothly and they look great."
Allie faced the challenge of creating additional storage on her main floor and opted to build a custom bench instead of using store-bought options. She planned meticulously, ensuring efficient use of materials and budgeting. After constructing a base from 2x4s and painting it, she encountered obstacles with existing outlets. Instead of altering her design, she moved the outlets and successfully completed her first electrical and drywall patching projects, demonstrating her DIY skills and resourcefulness.
