DIY THIS VINTAGE INSPIRED BENCH // BUDGET FRIENDLY HOME DECOR // GET THE LOOK FOR LESS

- Today, I'm going to show you how to DIY this vintage-inspired bench! If you're looking for budget-friendly home decor that'll give you the look for less, then you're not going to want to miss this! :)
I drove over to my local Home Depot and picked up two 2x2 boards, as well as a 2x8 board. The 2x8 board is eight feet long, so you'll probably want to have Home Depot/Lowes, etc. cut the piece of wood in half to make it easier to get in your vehicle. Using a miter saw, I cut the bench seat to 17 inches and the legs to 18 3/4 inches each, all with 15-degree angles. You'll need 4 legs, two middle supports, and one support to bring everything together for extra sturdiness. I made it a little bit easier and included a sketch (in the video) with all the measurements you'll need!
After I cut all the pieces, I laid them out to make sure they all looked correct, then continued to pre-drill holes for the screws. I used 2.5-inch screws to attach the pieces together, making sure the leg pieces mirror each other exactly. After that... the fun begins! I distressed the wood to give it that rustic look using a few different tools: a wood chisel helped me to take off the corners and round out the legs, and a wire brush helped to bring out that beautiful wood grain. Lastly, I sanded everything down with 100-grit sandpaper... and voila.. it was complete! ;)
As always, I'd love to hear from you... let me know in the comments below if you're going to try to DIY this vintage-inspired bench!

This bench is absolutely amazing!! Love all the distressing and texture!!💕❤️💕
Thanks Bonnie! Fun and quick little project! 🥰❤️
I like the style. Only I wouldn't distress it so much. Nice work 👏
I want to make one of these for the end of my bed. I’ll just need to adjust the measurements to fit. I love it. I want one for every room in my house. Thanks for sharing
Valerie....you did a awesome job on the bench and though I can't see it in person ... It looks vintage enough for me. 👍. I love these benches and did price them on Etsy a long time ago....too expensive. Every time I go out thrifting I always look to see if I can find one for a reasonable price. Enjoy your bench 😉
Love this bench!!!! Been wanting one so bad!!!
Thanks Teresa!! 💕

I just replied and I’m not sure what happened to it, it’s probably under someone’s comment, but it said u did great Yada yada yada. I’m excited to be be moving next month and will finally get my first garage…. Yay. I will be manifesting my inner Valerie soon!
My boyf bought me a lovely slab of live edge elm for my birthday to make one of these & I was wondering about the measurements for the legs so now I'm all set & can't wait to get started
Yes!! I can't wait to hear how it goes! Feel free to tag me on ig @valerieaguiar so I can see it! 💗
Wow Valerie, your projects always turn out so great. I’d have been way to scared to distress that much but your right, it’s what it calls for. I’m finally moving next month and for the 1 st time in my life I will have a garage. I’m fixing to invest in tools, I’m so excited. I’m gonna manifest my inner Valerie and get to DIYing….lol
Aw, Trina!! First off, thank you so much for the compliments! And yeah... don't be too worried about distressing it too much! If that's the look you're going for, then the more the better! Congrats on the move and having a space where you can store all the tools you're going to want to get!! You got this... can't wait to hear about the projects you're able to get done 💕
@@ValerieAguiar awe thx girl!
❤❤❤
Hey girlfriend!
Amazing job, jeez, is there anything you can't do 😂
I noticed the black entry table is back 🤔
Awesome as usual 💕
Oh Carrie... Don't be fooled... there's A LOT I can't do 😂 I've made so many mistakes on these projects it's not even funny! Hope you have a wonderful week, friend! 💕
You should try using a draw knife to create your rounded edges. It's easy and gives a great authentic look.
I will definitely have to try that next time! Thanks so much for the tip! 😊
❤
💗
I just love these benches that you make. And they can be customized to fit any space. Just a quick question: is the 17 3/4 measurement of the legs at the bottom of the angle cut or at the top?
It’s from the longest point to longest point! I hope that makes sense!
What State do you live in?!
I would LOVE for you to make me one, if you live close to me. 😊😃😜
Hi Rosie! I live in CA! :)
I wish someone showed a diy to make this with just gluing and no special tools. Will Home Depot cut wood at angles for you?
