Random Reviews and Easy DIY

I wanted a corner banquette in my eat in kitchen,but couldn't find anything I really liked. I decided to look into making one myself, after doing some research I chose to use the Ikea Kallax Shelving/Cubbie. The dimensions work really well for the space I have in my kitchen too. I chose to buiild my base first, so I could get accurate measurements to purchase your materials. Here are the materials you will need to make your cushion. Plywood- cut to size of your bench (Home Depot and Lowes can cut to size for free) I used 1/2 inch Foam- I used 2 inch (buy at any craft store, check for sales and coupons, foam isn't cheap) Quiters Batting- this is nice because it will hold together the foam and wood, and cover the bottom of the wood so you don't scratch your bench. Fabric- I was able to cover both benches with 2 yards of 54" wide fabric (my bench is 57.75" X 15.5") Tools: Staple Gun Hammer- for any staples that don't go in all the way Flat Head...
