Did you know that in most cases you can build a piece of furniture cheaper than you can buy it? Well that’s just what I did with this entry bench that I built to use on the back porch to help us keep all the pool towels and stuff in check. Go see all the details on this project and more pictures here.
A bunch of other bloggers did their own build it cheaper than buying it challenge too in June so here’s some that I just loved! (and some went on my to-do list too!)

Just Measuring Up created this DIY round stool – super cute and easy!
Kenya Rae created this DIY growth chart ruler – love it!

Saavy Apron built this DIY lamp from an old tripod! These lamps sell for hundreds of dollars so that’s just amazing to do it from a thrifted find!

Very good ideas!!!
I love that I stumbled upon this article. Your back porch bench for pool accessories is such a great idea and the little kitchen is adorable. I also love the color and size of the wooden table.
