Window Seat

Since we moved in to our house two years ago, we've wanted to add a window seat in front of our kitchen window. Our kitchen is so big and it was just empty space. Well, with Lyla coming, we knew we would need more storage. Our living room is too small to add a toy chest, and we don't have a ton of closet space. I decided what we needed was the window seat with space to store baskets underneath. The baskets will be toy storage.

So, Friday, the building took place. My dad came up and worked with Andy to build my beautiful window seat (see pics below). I came home to a seat that was a little bigger than I thought, but beautiful just the same. Sunday Andy and I worked at staining the seat. Yes, I know, I shouldn't be close to the fumes, but I'm not very good at being told I can't do something. Just so you know, we opened all the windows and I spent a lot of time sitting outside on my rocking chairs and enjoying the beautiful day. Andy sealed the seat yesterday and today we purchased my baskets.

The seat is far better than anything I could have imagined. Andy and Big Guy, thank you so much for working so hard to make me a beautiful seat. I can't wait to enjoy the my red bud while sitting on my seat. And the baskets are going to be a great place for Lyla to store toys and have easy access to them.
