When we first toured our home before purchase, one of the first things that drew me in was the long entryway. Mostly due to the fact that I simply love entryway benches. They’re just so useful, stylish AND practical.<\/p>\n
And this home was perfect for the beloved entryway bench that I didn’t have….yet. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I looked for a few months online, in stores and at craft events for something that would work.<\/p>\n
I almost bought something at a vintage craft show that was just “okay.” The top was pretty cool, but the bottom was hideous and would need some work. And that baby had a price tag of $199….on sale.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, (and now thankfully!) I held off and overall\u00a0came up empty-handed.<\/p>\n
Because our entryway is long, I wanted the bench to fit the space lengthwise proportionally, \u00a0but not take up too much walk-space from the door to the living room.<\/p>\n
I wanted it to be chunky, too. To be a statement piece!<\/p>\n
As I was just about to give up on my search, I met Jason Vetsch from <\/span>Emory Woodworks<\/a>. AKA, a custom furniture builder.<\/span><\/p>\n Is there a technical name for that?<\/p>\n Craftsman?<\/p>\n I’m not sure.<\/p>\n All I knew was that he was good.<\/p>\n GOOD.<\/p>\n And I had hope!<\/p>\n After looking at some of his work online, we began chatting about exactly what I was looking for. I sent him some pictures <\/a>of things I liked and before I knew it we were scheduling an appointment for him to come to the house to take some measurements.<\/p>\n He and his adorable wife arrived and took some measurements and most importantly, listened.<\/p>\n Chunky. Leave ample walking space. Shabby. Statement piece. He also looked at some of the other pieces in my home to get a feel for my style. Smart guy!<\/p>\n And before I knew it, I had an UH-MAZING new entryway bench! EXACTLY as I had hoped for!<\/p>\n Cue swooning…<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I know, I know… catch your breath…<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s just SO pretty and unique and easily has become one of my absolute favorite pieces in our house.<\/p>\n I also really appreciate Jason’s attention to detail with the dark bolts he added in giving it a bit of an industrial look to it.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Emory Woodworks is also about the whole experience. In a 1966 Ford truck our beautiful bench was delivered to our home and then carried inside.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aren’t they the cutest?! These two work as a team to bring Spokane and the surrounding areas quality craftsmanship. And it felt so good supporting a local business, too!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And since these photos were taken, I have added a few more little touches…<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I now have the perfect spot to store the kids’ shoes and winter gear without tripping over them in the walkway.<\/p>\n WIN!<\/p>\n Some of my other favorites from his sites …<\/p>\n I am such a fan of hanging pendants!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Look at the storage space! I think I need this for under our own window…<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Hubby would love one of these. And so stylish, too. They’re also magnetic. Bonus!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Yes. Just, yes.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n I think Calvin needs a big-boy bed! Thinking reclaimed wood headboard….<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Oh hello beautiful kitchen table, perfect for tall people such as ourselves…<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For that one office in the basement that holds all the unpacked boxes due to no desk… MMM..HMM..<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Gorgeous. Want. One.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n LOVE!<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n So, that’s genius.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Give Jason an idea or picture, and he will make it happen.<\/p>\n Jason is friendly, works quickly and can give you a custom piece to fit your exact needs without paying an arm and a leg for it.<\/p>\n To see more of Jason’s work, check out his Facebook page HERE<\/a>\u00a0and his Etsy shop HERE.<\/a>\u00a0 And you should definitely follow him on Instagram HERE<\/a><\/p>\n As always, thanks for stopping by!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When we first toured our home before purchase, one of the first things that drew me in was the long entryway.
