  • The completed window seat.
  • When we moved in, this is how we styled the dormer area at the top of the stairs. It quickly became a dumping ground for various things and was rarely sat at.
  • The basic frame for the window seat was based off of a twin daybed plan from ana-white.com. We adapted it to fit our space and to secure it as a true built-in.
  • The lovely people at @PureBond Plywood helped us to make this project as eco-friendly as possible, which is incredibly important to my family.
  • The drawers are on casters for easy access, and we added picture rail trim to give them a more built-in look. We also added chair rail to the front of the seat for the same reason. 1
  • Without the cushions, you can see where we added trim around the seat base and along the top of the BILLY bookcases to keep the seat in line with our 115 year old trim. We also painted the walls behind the bookcases lime green.
  • The finished project from the top of the stairs, complete with cushion and awning.
  • The window seat cushion was another IKEA hack -- we bought the least expensive foam mattress and cut it to fit around the bookcases. I then sewed a removable, reversible cover out of IKEA fabric and lime green piping.
  • The "awning" is actually tension-mounted between the two bookcases, making it incredibly easy to remove while tying in the stripes of the cushion and adding a sense of whimsy to the whole area.
  • Bookcase styling on the left.
  • Bookcase styling on the right.
  • A close up of the finished drawers, painted white with bushed nickel hardware.
  • The two end drawers are the full depth of the window seat, creating ample amounts of storage for extra linens and bedding. The middle drawer is slightly shorter to accommodate a pony wall directly across from it.

Our Window Seat Family Library.

As our children grew and space in our small house came at a premium, we decided to build a window seat on the awkward landing at the top of our stairs, between our kids' rooms. Beneath ...»
the seat is ample storage, as it's nearly as deep as a twin-sized bed, and the IKEA-hacked bookshelves provide plenty of storage space for books and family mementos. A striped awning and matching DIY custom cushion have come together to transform an awkward area into one of our favorite spaces in the entire house.

trunks, tractor seats and a few bolts. It's a really simple design but I think they look great! They won't live at my island forever, I plan to use them outside on the patio since its made from outdoor-friendly materials. Plus, it's all recycled! I think it's a great way to use what was headed for landfill and make into something useful and appealing all at the same time.

Vintage Bicycle Basket Planter Take 2

Last year I planted flowers in the basket of my sister's vintage Schwinn and it was one of my most popular posts. I decided to do the same thing this year with a few changes - different flowers and a "fun banner".

Love my Garden Stamp!

I've always wanted a veggie garden away from my patio and contained. Planting seeds with the right spacing and depth always deterred me from it. I was introduced to The Garden Stamp at www.gardenstamp.com and absolutely love it. I have a full bed of lettuce growing in perfect rows and spacing. I'm so excited to watch it grow and can't wait for my first harvest so I can stamp my garden again and plant something new!

Jute Rope Mirror ~Ballard Inspired

the right accessories. I wanted a more natural, yet up to date stylish look to the room than the previous setting. In my decorative decor search I just could not find the right wall art for this room. So I gave up. I hung this plain white round mirror in there for a while, but it was just missing something and then it hit me, I'll make one of the cool rope mirrors I saw on Ballard Designs website. This project was so easy and fast, it literally took 30 minutes to make.
