Bench Seat Project...

So, Saturday we finally made these bench seats for this wall in the living room! I had gotten the fabric a while back, but I'd been lacking the motivation to get the project done and I needed Michael's help. We got cheap particle board from Lowe's and they cut it to size for us, then I got 1 in. foam and batting at Hobby Lobby, we just wrapped it around and stapled it into the back, so easy! So you can see before it was just this planter box area, but I didn't want to fill it with a bunch of fake plants - too much money, and wouldn't be useful for us. A seat is much more practical especially since I just added toys to this side of the living room. Now Madilynn can sit back and read books!

All finished!
Also, on Saturday Madilynn got a haircut. We had about 2 in. cut off and it looks so cute and healthy now!

Daddy got a picture of Elizabeth with her eyes open!

what a creative idea! Also, the tractor pictures were cute too! I'm sure Madilynn was in heaven!
