The Beginner’s Guide to
Having a traditional and old church pew to be part of your dining room setting is one of the things that you may want while doing some renovation at your home or cottage. You can find one at a sale, that for sure might need a few touches so that it would have the exact look that you desire. Because not everyone may share in your vision especially since it is hard to see a church pew be part of the final thing, one has to do it just right to be able to prove them wrong.
There are people who have been able to successfully make a church pew be part of their dining table and we will be able to look at how they did this in this chapter. To start with the cushion that the pew came in was not in the best of shapes and that for sure after the sale had to be removed. Their pew had been in storage before, for too long so the first thing they did was to clean it up thoroughly. On the other hand nothing was wrong about the state of the pew hence there was no need to repair any hinges or the pew as a whole. When the pew was all clean and had dried in the sun long enough it was time to remove the cushion since it was not in a good state. The reason why the cushion needed a replacement was that it was torn, had also been stained and definitely did not look presentable.
Dealing with the state of the cushion was easy when they realized they knew of an antique owner who was in the business of repairing and fixing up things that were either antiques or from a farmhouse. For the cushion they wanted they had to buy first a fabric for it from their friend who had an online store and have the antique store owner make their desired cushion from it. The way it turned out was exactly what they had envisioned and even so much more. It was not only enough to have the cushion in place, but also to make sure that the screws were also in a perfect state. The pew in the dining room was definitely going to be subjected to a wide range of weights it was important to make sure that it could withstand any pressure.
They thought of painting the wood but in fear of their children drawing on the paint, they decided to apply sealant to the wood to prevent break offs and not paint anything else over it.
From reading what other people did on their DIY pew one can be able to get a wider scope on what to do with theirs.
