Thank you SO much for all the love on the Stair Project! I'm overwhelmed!
Remember how I said I was going to sit on my butt and watch TV?
Yeah... I'm a spaz. Why is it so hard for me to do NOTHING?!?!
And that being said... why am I SO out of shape? I'm NOT lazy!
One of the mysteries of the Universe that I'm sure I will never solve.
Do you remember the bench I got for $5 for the loft re-do? The one I was going to upholster when I found my staple gun? I found it!! I decided today was the day.
Our kids are pretty darned spoiled.
You've seen the ginormous jungle gym in the loft, right?!?
They drink out of cups... not bowls:
We had some days where Nala was knocking a full cup of water over, for fun, and this was Drew's solution. It's worked.
We used to have one of those fun attached window beds for the kids to lie and watch all the goings on in the neighborhood, safely.
It was well used. It came crashing down in pieces one day. We haven't replaced it.
So, today I decided since I found the staple gun, I was going to finally make a cushy window seat for the kids.
I got all my supplies:
I had a memory foam piece from the guest room. Can you see how the kids have scratched it like crazy?? Gah. They are SO lucky we love them so much!
At this point, I realized I couldn't find the STAPLES for the staple gun.
I looked and looked.
I wasn't about to NOT do this project today.
I used little brad nails. Yep. I'm sure Drew as up in his office thinking "Oh Lord, what is she breaking NOW?"
I cut the foam with a sharp knife and used some leftover dropcloth. Cut it to size and nailed the fabric taut. Yes... I nailed it down. I'm SO stubborn!!
Easy peasy. Not the prettiest thing ever, but the kids LOVE it!!
Haha. It's a lazy {huh??} Sunday. They were all off sleeping in their favorite cozy spots.
A cloudy, chilly day doesn't make for the best photos.
I love those stinky, destructive little boogers.
XOXO

Ha! I may do the same thing with an old bench I'm putting under the kitchen window, once the kitchen is finished, which means about March.
ReplyDeleteI love the cushion on the bench it adds warmth to the piece.
