The room doesn't really look different than the last time I photographed it, we added a few tiny touches of spring- the two little bunnies, some eggs a nest and some pink tulips. Lillie loves when she gets to have pink flowers in her room.  The tulips were so pretty at Trader Joe's this week I actually got several bunches and added them to our bedroom and Lola's as well. I'll show you the simple spring touches we added in those rooms once I get those photos on the computer. For now though here is Lillie's room. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGMJYv_kmPWhIb2iUtVdzkf37fuoYTYlRs4ElxL1JwN5buYh0AK4sw5fEuFGz8qqSKNW_bFO62WWeDqPrGfSY7HCArACpWcqGYxIoR7_jKfeeGRq6Frsbn06Ffthy9n3CY-MjqYDK6xUk/s1600/qMarch_843.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

How to Build a Window Seat with a Screwdriver and Glue Gun

It has held up pretty well for almost four years now but a couple of weeks ago one the brackets started to get a little loose. When I went in to fix it I decided to pull the whole seat apart and take step by step photos of how I made it. These days, if I wanted to do a project like this I probably would have searched on Pinterest and some blogs for an idea of how to make a window seat, but back then I just kind of made it up as I went (actually, I suppose I still do that alot now too). I didn't have any power tools so I knew that it would have to be quite easy. I also wanted to make it so that we could use the underneath part for storage while Lillie was a baby and I hoped that eventually that area underneath would turn into a little "fort" or "secret hideout" for her once she was older. Well, I can't tell you how much time she spends under there now! And Lola loves crawling under there too. And pretty much everyone that has entered our house at some point gets stuck crawling under there and playing. We had some of the basketball players over last week and after they left Lillie was quite dismayed when she realized that she had forgotten to see if any of them could fit under there! (Although, it is roomier than you would think, I am going to go ahead and pretty confidently guess that they couldn't!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxAMKXixg504baNhBKS_CQLXBBTySyHdwHX6zcAJO7KsHl0PPVVR6pOp6fK0ojbZkMWhSVjNEwWuS-7gIBZ8lAu6EABCHT7SZQQRL2fCVfZe5NLUI-IHqWGaO5zNjQDeINCj-graKZdKWM/s1600/eDSC_1198.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxAMKXixg504baNhBKS_CQLXBBTySyHdwHX6zcAJO7KsHl0PPVVR6pOp6fK0ojbZkMWhSVjNEwWuS-7gIBZ8lAu6EABCHT7SZQQRL2fCVfZe5NLUI-IHqWGaO5zNjQDeINCj-graKZdKWM/s640/eDSC_1198.png" width="436" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, here is how you start. </div><b>1).

Now just plop that wood into place on top of the brackets and use a glue gun to attach some ribbon or trim to the edge. </b>I used a grosgrain ribbon. (Or you can use a piece of wood trim, which is what I used originally but when Lillie was learning to pull herself up she repeatedly pulled it off so I gave up and just ended up glue gunning a ribbon on temporarily and then never got around to switching it, and at this point I doubt I ever will.) =)  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc7XlPcgyFwdjVsilLYnyMERR5EFyCTiaLybnnqsLLkP5WB3VC3rgM6NnCa1m1PLsx1H1K8bVXgWobSkoX6N5ZLzbycCrqgF7M9wWIxNcitPCrMRIuEC25MHx1JFyh23_3ySvhyphenhyphenZ59sBnk/s1600/eDSC_1151.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc7XlPcgyFwdjVsilLYnyMERR5EFyCTiaLybnnqsLLkP5WB3VC3rgM6NnCa1m1PLsx1H1K8bVXgWobSkoX6N5ZLzbycCrqgF7M9wWIxNcitPCrMRIuEC25MHx1JFyh23_3ySvhyphenhyphenZ59sBnk/s640/eDSC_1151.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <b>4). Next purchase a big piece of foam.</b> I wish I had gotten a thicker piece but I went the super cheap route and got one that has driven me crazy ever since because of how thin it is. The piece I purchased didn't come wide enough so I used a glue gun to attach two pieces to make it the right size. It's been four years since I did this, but I think I just used a large kitchen knife to cut the foam. <b>Then wrap your foam in the fabric you want to use. </b>Again, I was cutting costs and bought just barely enough to fit around my foam. If I were doing it over I would recommend getting more fabric to cover the whole thing! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ysor9iUbNpdHgYX7ZZe_FwMcKsNdgvmEeA9bFzlIgCEWxmO8ACcDHZlKzDwy8WC97DIbJJEoxL5L4WzeHj7OQxKnDaAmuV2_zvkS7LWnZgxlljeXBNPR0s-2ELI-Fx-z2nWbfF31WK2i/s1600/eDSC_1158.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ysor9iUbNpdHgYX7ZZe_FwMcKsNdgvmEeA9bFzlIgCEWxmO8ACcDHZlKzDwy8WC97DIbJJEoxL5L4WzeHj7OQxKnDaAmuV2_zvkS7LWnZgxlljeXBNPR0s-2ELI-Fx-z2nWbfF31WK2i/s640/eDSC_1158.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />5).
