Seating and Storage

Kids need a place to sit, other than the floor, but why not make it efficient by incorporating storage within? A kid's storage bench that holds animals, toys and blankets and seating for storage will not only be useful but also attractive. If you have a window, use it beneath it, like a window seat to encourage reading and repose (yeah right!). You could also create a built in window seat with toy storage beneath and above, depending on your resources and skill set. To customize your kid's storage bench, take your little one to a fabric store and let them choose the fabric and pattern, then let them help you cut the pattern and sew the pillow!
