We have a bench that has three cubbies in it. There is a similar one sold by Pottery Barn but we had ours made (because we couldn't afford the Pottery Barn one). I did splurge and buy the Pottery Barn baskets to go in each cubby. We currently have three throw pillows on top of the bench but I would really like to have a bench cushion for it. We pretty much keep all of the seasonally appropriate kids shoes and some of my and dh's shoes in it. I try to clean the baskets out every few weeks and transfer extra shoes to the appropriate closets.Â
Â
In the winter, we use one of the baskets for gloves, hats, scarves etc.Â
Â
It's worked out great.Â
a quick inexpensive bench cushions is really quick. You can go to the fabric store and by the foam/cushion, and some nice fabric. If you sew, google some tutorials , otherwise you can just tailor wrap and secure it with a couple safety pins underneath. I have one like this, and i DO sew, it just functions well and I haven't had the time!
