Every House Needs a Pew!

(Click on pictures for a closer look.)

Does your house need a church pew?  Oh, yes it does!  It adds an unusual touch with very dramatic lines, and space-efficient extra seating.  Use one with bunches of throw pillows instead of a couch.  Or line a couple up on the long sides of your dining table for bench seating.  It's a great way to get more people at the table.  Put one in your entryway for coming-in or going-out shoe changes, or for waiting around.

At Just Looking, we have four beautiful ten-foot upholstered pews.  Buy one for your living room, or buy them all for entertainment room seating!

Upholstered church pews  $100 ea.  SOLD

There are about a zillion ways to decorate with pews.  Here are a few:

• Add throw pillows to soften the look.
• Create entry hall seating, with storage baskets underneath.
• Provide bench seating on both sides of your dining table.
• Place two facing each other in the living room, with a long coffee table or low occasional tables between.
• Paint it to match your decor.
• Place one against the windows in your sunroom.
• In a small dining area, a pew can go up against a wall, allowing more room for the table and outer chairs.
