A very loose sketch done on my tablet

Deconstructed, reinforced, sanded, and reconfigured!

The hinges off of one of the bread boxes became the aesthetic "glue" for the entire unit

Laser cut "embellishment"

I needed a convenient place to sit while I took my shoes on and off, and some extra storage is always handy. I found a couple of old breadboxes at the thriftshop and made them mine. 

 

The two bread boxes were very different aesthetically. One was completely lacking in aesthetics, but the other I liked quite a bit. I used this as inspiration for some embelishments I designed and laser cut. Once applied and painted, the entire unit had a more cohesive look.

 

"What's with the flannel shirt seat?" you ask. Initially I wanted to use the flannel from a shirt to make a simple cushion, but it just didn't look good. I kept the button down front as a feature which gives the entire unit a "thriftshop upcycle" vibe.
