My sister asked me to make her a window seat in her kitchen nook. When I told my roommate that I was planning on making it she said "You aren't a carpenter." What has that got to do with anything? :)
I did some online research about how to make window seats and found a blog about someone making one. I took that general plan and created a basic pattern. Then my Dad and I set out to make it. With my Dad's expertise and tools and with two heads and four hands (well plus some additional ones from friends and family) we made a window seat. I think it looks really nice, but it was a bigger project then I thought it would be. My nephew you helped us work on the frame work and then saw it finished said it was really nice to see the fruits of his labor.

| The complete (more or less) with the kitchen table in position |
Apparently I didn't take any with the curtains up.
It was cool to see it come to fruition especially when it just started as some boring 2 by 4s. To watch a bare frame, the smidgen of an idea, become a reality.
