A few weeks ago we shared our tutorial of how we made a built-in window seat from two Ikea nightstands. It turned out so well! Our daughter is often found here curled up with a book in her little nook. So we decided to make one special for her!
We started first with a colour scheme: soft violet, grey and dark blue denim. (You can see our mood board and ideas on our Teen Girl Bedroom Pinterest Board.) She's a no-fuss blue jeans kind of girl and adding denim elements to her room is fitting. Tip: When your choosing your jeans at the thrift store, start at the largest sizes and work your way down. Large size jeans cost the same, but give you more fabric to work with!
After cutting your jeans into strips, you will want to sew them together.
Make sure your plywood, cushion and batting are all cut to the proper size - the length and width of your window seat. Work in reverse: lay down your lining fabric, then batting, then cushion and finally your plywood. Carefully line them up and centre them on your lining fabric. Then fasten everything together.
Here is how it turned out! Don't forget to click on over to the blog below, for full details and even more pictures!
