Angela Ferdig of Kriselkeeper recently posted on her DIY entryway bench project, which was "inspired by the Nakashima table in Steal This Look: Julianne Moore's West Village Living Room on Remodelista," she says. "My much less pricey DIY bench, which consists of a piece of reclaimed wood and four hairpin legs, cost a total of $109." Read more about the project on The Stir at Cafe Mom; recreate the look with the following elements.
