    Hi Al, Strange as it may seem, I just did the same thing, last week.
    For the last 7 years, I have had a guest room in my home, and no
    guests on a regular basis other than my friends from Brasil. That is
    a total of about 30 days in 7 years....not a very good use of my
    resources.  So I gave away all my bedroom furniture, built 2
    beautiful benches, moved all my jewelry paraphanelia into the
    bedroom. 

    Here are a few pictures. http://www.rocksmyth.com/shop/shop.htm 

    I made each bench 8ft long x 2 ft deep x 30 inches high tables with
    hardwood tops.   I finished them with varnish (lacquer) rather than
    plastic urethane.  They match the hardwood floors in my home and I
    now have a beautiul as well as functional workshop.  I used varnish
    because the floors in my home are varnished and have been looking
    good for 60 years.  Why mess with success? 

    Ask me in another 60 years and I'll tell you how the benches worked
    out..<grin>.. 

Please hollar if I can help.
Love and God Bless
