    Personally, I would put the bench along the length of the back to make it less claustrophobic. This would also leave the sides for hooks for longer coats. If you don't want to extend the bench, you could put baskets on either end for umbrellas and such. ;)

As long as you're happy and living your life and not deliberately hurting someone, enjoy what you have and what you do. You are an inspiration to a lot of people I'm sure, as you are to me.

    It doesn’t matter what people think of something as long as the person that did it is happy with it. Personally, I think it’ll look great when done. And there’s something of personal satisfaction when you have turned nothing into something. Odds of wood lying around or stored. Becomes a boot room/cloak room. That’s a win in my book.

    Hey! Brian!! If I could give my two cents……instead of putting benches across from each other, put an ell on your current bench……I don’t think you’ve realized that if you hang costs above the benches, you won’t really FIT on the bench……but if you leave the right wall free, you can hang coats ,there, first……then above the 7:54 benches……use the ‘bench’ wall spaces for scarves, sweaters, and GUEST coats…….🤷🏼‍♂️😘

    Is that a sauna next to your boot room (area)? If so, is it any wonder your friends leave their stuff there? I would too! Isn't that some sort of Freudian-thing? People leave stuff so they have an excuse to return.
    It all looks good to me! When I was a kid my mother made some decorating choice that I didn't care for - and I told her so. In response she told me, "When you grow up and have a house of your own you can decorate it any way you want." And I do! 😃

    Such a wise man! Indeed. You are the one who has to live with your creation, and sure you'd modify it to be perfect even if it wasn't. Looks amazing, can't wait to see it, in its full glory!
    As for the voice, I have it often, especially today! So as you were talking, brought tears to my eyes, it was like you were speaking directly to me. Reason, I've got a job interview next week, I'm terrified, it's France, I live in UK, I don't speak the language, even tho 1/2 French, I've not worked for someone else for 20 years (or in France), nor had an interview for as long. I was honest on application, citing all I have achieved by myself. It's a huge life-changing move, if I get it. I must have done something right, I guess, to get the interview, but that voice of doubt is ringing in my head, "can you do it?" Thank you for your serendipitous reminder, to live life :) You did tickle me with the 3 miracles, yep, def St Pascal!

    I think your doing a lovely job and it's special to you. My husband and I built a similar item because we couldn't find one to fit in the space we had, also the ones we saw for sale were very expensive. You should be proud - we are very pleased with the way ours turned out. 👍

    Its coming out great! Perfect area there too. As for the layout, if you'd like a women's opinion, lol i would put the bench on the back wall and put shoe/boot shelves either on one side or both and put hooks for coats above the shoe/boot shelf. You'll have more room and more symmetrical. One bench is all you need, leaves more space to put on your jacket or shoes. I mean how many of you do you think will be using it at one time :) loving your channel just found it the other day!
