    My husband of 19 years now got me a singer when we were dating as a birthday present. It is the laugh of our life since then as to why he got his 23 yr old GF a sewing machine, his excuse is he was great friends with the guy in the local electrical store and this is what they came up with. Getting it I then had to learn how to use it, cos I was never thought this stuff in school. But secretly I am thankful I learned a new skill and it does come in handy, but I still mock him. To this day I don't know if he know I appreciate it!!!! Andrea I understand where you come from, unless you use it everyday you have to relearn and re-practice to get back in the swing of things!!

    Hi Andrea, you never seize to amaze me. You are truly a Jack of all trade. Not only that but you are a pro at everything you do. Love everything you have done.

  • @sooome9294
    @sooome9294 Před 4 měsíci +9

    You look at your home like a painter looks at a canvas. When it is blank and you look at it often enough the ideas flow. Love the corner. Now, a couple extra chairs that match the look of the bench are placed to the left of the bench and many people can play the games, without pulling chairs from another room. What do you think of that idea? You are an inspiration.

  • @anneaton921

    Wonderful job Andrea!! I love the table!! Can’t believe you got it for free!! The cushions you made just set it off!! I am always amazed by your skills!!🥰

  • @laurarahelbailey

  • @leslie-reagan5219
    @leslie-reagan5219 Před 4 měsíci +18

    Holy smokes- never occurred to me to use a dead corner like this! Love the built in- and the way you did the cushion! Thank you as always DIY maven!❤

  • @carolynratliff1380
    @carolynratliff1380 Před 4 měsíci +6

    I always use outdoor fabric for a cushion that our kids eat on….Joanne’s has the best selection…..if I use outdoor fabric I won’t have to put a zipper in because it can be wiped right off….maybe this will help for next time…hugs carolyn……it’s so nice that you didn’t have to stop and make a sandwich for someone…..great family!

    • @Edu_Kate
      @Edu_Kate Před 4 měsíci +1

      Ooh! Good to know. Last year, a stray cat used my outdoor dining chairs as a scratching pad and ruined them. I'll check out JoAnn's since I now know they have that fabric and the cushion. The shape is tapered so not a size to order ready-made replacement square cushions.

  • @user-br1tw8yu6v

    I just love everything you do Andrea!!!❤ You're truly so talented and Dean is low-key crazy, but hilarious 😂 I do have one useless opinion lol, but I think it would be awesome to extend the bench to the fireplace or adding additional storage at the end of the bench for a more built-in look maybe a cabinet of some sort. ❤ you guys!

  • @abeerali7834
    @abeerali7834 Před 4 měsíci +4

    Very creative use to a dead corner. Looks fantastic too! So cosy and fun that I want to come and sit there 😍
    The sewing part any project had never been my trade and I don’t know why.
    Although I’m a patient person by nature, I always find sewing extremely boring 😂

  • @michellezamarripa9155
    @michellezamarripa9155 Před 4 měsíci +1

    That’s called topstitching. And it does indeed make it look more finished. Way to go. Love the bench. I’ve been planning on making a banquette for my dining room. This is getting me inspired

    @karennoble3795 Před 4 měsíci +3

    This turned out absolutely beautiful. You are probably going to wish you had a firmer or thicker foam pads in your seating. The ones sold at JoAnn will compress quite a bit in a short amount of use. I buy high density foam for my projects from an Etsy seller.

    I read some comments and didnt see that maybe use some spray glue to glue down the filling so it wont slip. You are one creative gal!

  • @lovestosingalot55bodin7
    @lovestosingalot55bodin7 Před 4 měsíci +4

    Great job Andrea. I was wondering if you had storage underneath the bench. It doesn't look like you put a hinged top on it. Anyway, it looks nice in that small space; it fills it just perfectly and having a hexigon table makes it easier to get in and out.

    @Rozzie...Brisbane...Australia Před 4 měsíci +1

    Hey Andrea' love your fabric choice and the position you chose for the unti in the room' ...I would personally like a shelf at the back where some candles or game book could sit and slanting the back board or make a cusion with a slant. Also I wonder why you didn't make draws under the bench at either end for the games to go in maybe you could cut out two doors and attach them with piano hinges and a latch...just saying...Rozzie...Brisbane...Australia...

    As another female DIYer, I'm so impressed that you can sew. I can cut and install trim all day long and build furniture, but I have no idea how to sew. Hope your house is back together after that awful flood.

  • @yobespierre

    FYI for those wondering, the search term for this kind of cushion is "boxed cushion". the sides are the boxing. and andrea did a good job!

  • @Cynthia2v
    @Cynthia2v Před 4 měsíci +1

    Great job on the cushions. The corner just finishes off the room! I’ve been through a pinhole in plumbing and a stopped up air conditioner drain pan (in our Houston house) that led to the replacement of really nice oak flooring, some drywall and those annoying fans!

    That is a great idea of that space. Looks great as always. I have sewn many cushions in my day and it IS a lot harder than it looks. Plus I always used a bit of spray adhesive when putting the batting around the foam. It helps keep it in place and won't shift under the fabric when sat on.
