In the children's bedroom, I decided to do a variation on a primary color scheme, so the yellow fabric with red, woven detail was a perfect choice. There was a lot of "white lullaby" paint leftover from a home painting project, so I painted the toy box with this color. (The kids even helped me prime!) It upset my nephew to cover up the dog on the bench (there was a picture of Snoopy), but as the project progressed and he saw the end result, he seemed to forgot all about it.
The bench top was made from plywood from the side of an old cabinet I tore out of the laundry room to make room for a high efficiency washer and dryer set. The padding for the bench top came from an old egg-crate mattress that we've had around the house.
And here it is...
Great for storing toys, and sitting!
Review from my youngest niece: "It's soft like a cloud."
