When we first moved into our house, I knew I wanted a window seat in our playroom. This room has a perfect cutout for a cozy nook. Up until recently though, our playroom was filled wall to wall with large toys. Sadly, Georgia and Graham are getting older and we have started to part ways with several of those large toys. Do not worry, the closet and other wall still have plenty of Legos, Barbies, and other various toys and games. It felt like the perfect time though to start creating multipurpose spaces in this room that we all can use and enjoy.
My husband loves when I come to him with a Pinterest picture. Ha! He said if I can get rid of some of the large toys in the playroom, then he would build the window seat. I quickly posted several large toys to Facebook Marketplace. Paul really outdid himself with this project. It is exactly what I envisioned for this spot. My first step was to research cushions. I found that custom window seat cushions are pretty pricey and the width of our space is about the length of an XL twin bed so I decided to find a daybed cushion that he could build around. This is why there are two boxes on either side touching the wall. At first, I wasn't sure how I would feel about these, but I really like them. It gives us a spot to set a cup or a pretty plant. The drawers are large and deep and will be perfect for storing toys, books and blankets. One of our favorite things to do as a family is to play cards or board games, therefore, I hope to add a game table with two chairs in this space some time soon.
