Keep Those Old Kitchen Chairs

This one is similar to the bench we saw earlier, but with much less work involved. You can even vary the length depending on how many chairs you choose to use. First, you'll want to unscrew the kitchen seats, which are usually attached using four screws. Next, take off the arms you won't need. These are almost always held in place by screws that are covered by wooden plugs. You might have to look hard to find the plugs, but trust us, they're there.

SPOONFUL OF IMAGINATION

All you need to do after that is cut and then screw down some wooden planks to use as the seat and you're good to go. Of course, you can give everything a fresh paint job if you like.
