A Place for Everything...



...and everything in its place. Right? Not so much, in this house. We're working on that, though! I've been hard at work on decluttering one day at a time. I really love the simple, daily tasks. I'm free to go on about my day when I'm done, but I often find that I'm so motivated that I keep right on cleaning!

Anyway.

Not the point of my post.

The point of my post is to say LOOK! Lookie what my hubby built! I found the plans on Ana White's blog (here), and within a week, the bench had materialized in my living room. Ok--maybe it didn't appear out of thin air. But it wasn't very complicated, either.

Building was simple, and took only a few hours spread over two afternoons. For the next few days, I took over. I filled holes one morning, and sanded them that evening. Each day this week, after putting the little guy to bed, I put on another coat of paint.

Last night, we finally got to "move in" to the bench!

It really turned out well, don't you think?

  2. Looks great! I love it. Wish I had a place for something like that in our house. We have a iron railing along steep steps to the basement & what I really want is the Ikea Expedit book case that would go most the length & the height of the rail OR a partial wall with built-ins -- either would be perfect (especially the latter). I Love how your project turned out. Fun seeing the progress of it too.
