Which one are you? I am the direction reader and usually get called in after the attempt to “just wing it” fails miserably! Bench building: putting in those 100’s of pegs was so satisfying! When redoing our mudroom we decided we needed a bench that did triple duty- a place to put down our coffee on the way out the door, take a seat while putting on our boots and a place to store our slippers for when we arrive at the cottage. This one fit the bill! Love the open shelf underneath to store our mostly clean shoes. Have a shoe tray next to it for mud season & the inevitable mess of living at the end of a long dirt road. lakelife dirtroads mudroom muddyboots slipperswaiting LTKHome LTKSeasonal LTKstorytime
