The niche is done!

Our foyer niche bench is done! We are so happy with how it turned out!

Still a little dusty, but done!

The bench is about 18" off the ground (I need to measure).  Just the right height to sit and remove your shoes.

Typically, the foyer niches that Charis installs look like this:

Ours was wired for light only because we weren't sure what we wanted to do with it. Our thought was that we would put a bench under it, but we didn't have the clearance. When Todd (our GC) and Chris (our trim carpenter) came up with the idea of making the niche our bench, we were so pleased.

Todd liked it so much that now future Charis home owners will have this option as well.
