  • Believe it or not, this bar stool was a gift with purchase. SERIOUSLY!
  • The bar stools were scrubbed, primed, and painted. Did I mention the stools had to be scrubbed?
  • Let's give it up for a gift with purchase!

Bar Stool Make Over

Yikes! These bar-stools were a gift with purchase.To find out how I acquired these beauties, you can read the entire post on my blog. Would you have brought this bar stool home?

  • 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.

  • There's only one flower spike in about five iris plants in my garden.
  • It's gorgeous, but lonely
  • Love the colour variations between the upper and lower petals. Plus the nectar stripes are so pretty.

Gardening: One Lonely Iris

Last year, I planted a number of iris cuttings from a friend. The only one to bloom has just opened. They are in full sun and I planted them shallow as I've done before successfully. What could be wrong?
