Towler Life

The fabulousness of the window seat (storage-bookshelf) deserves a second post to wrap up this weekend.  Guided by a few inspiration pictures and plans from none other than This Old House, we set out to create our own unique piece that would fit our space and vision.

I can't really begin to explain to you what exactly we did.  All I know is Dan started with some 2x4's, made a cube, and the rest just kind of came together perfectly...

We used the trim paint we already had on hand to coat the piece-

We also picked up a yard of quilted neutral fabric and some foam to complete the seat-

It turned out better than we ever imagined!!  No more wasted space from the dormer window-  this piece is ready for years of use as a shelf to hold books and knick knacks, a cozy reading nook, and a prime hide & go seek space:)

One step closer to being ready for July!
