For about a year our entryway looked like this. How's that for a homey, "Welcome home!"?

Fortunately I found this really awesome blogger - she's a homemaker who builds her own furniture! My hero! I found her plans for an entryway system and they were super easy! So I got to work.

Wow. Looks amazing. Fantastic job! You mentioned that you had to modify the dimensions from Ana's plans to fit your space. Would you happen to have the sizes of the materials? I am dying to start building this, but I need something a bit shorter (I was thinking around 36" long). Thank you for sharing - I am exciting about starting my first project!
Hi Nicole! I modified Ana's cut list for a 36" widths.
Cut List for the Bench
2 – 1×12 @ 17 1/4 (sides)
2 – 1×12 @ 13 1/2″ (vertical dividers)
1 – 1×12 @ 34 1/2″ (bottom shelf)
2 - 1×12 @ 36″ (top shelves, doubled up)
1 – 1×4 @ 38 1/2″ (back lip for top)
2 – 1×4 @ 11 1/2 (side lip for top)
2 – 1×4 @ 11 1/2 (side toekick)
1 – 1×4 @ 38 1/2 (front toekick)
plywood for back, 18″x36″
Cut List for Shelf
2 – 1×8 @ 34 1/2″ (bottom shelf and vertical board for hooks)
2 – 1×8 @ 15 3/4″ (sides)
2 – 1×8 @ 7 1/2″ (vertical dividers)
1 – 1×8 @ 36″ (top, bottom piece)
1 – 1×3 @ 37″ (top, top back piece)
1 – 1×6 @ 37″ (top, top front piece)
plywood for back 8″ x 36″
Just keep in mind when you do the vertical dividers, center them yourself, the dimensions on Ana's site will be different since your bench will be narrower.
Good luck! Send a link with photos when you're done! :)
Where did you get the boxes that you used?
They are IKEA http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80115484/
