How I would love to get my hands on a church pew to redo like this great one by Ashli from Maillardville Manor. Alas, the only church pew I’ve ever seen for sale was about thirty feet long. I guess I could have tried to chop it down and shorten it, but that would involve asking my husband to break out the power tools, and that never ends well.
Doesn’t it look great hard at work in her lovely dining room? Thanks Ashli!

July 8, 2010 at 7:14 PMthat turned out super cute! I too would love to get a pew–saw one the other day, discounted to $350. Of course it was about 20′ long–was joking with the dh that if the kids are bad in church we can always make them come home and ‘practice’, ha ha!
