What fun and busy weekend it was. We finally got the window seat / storage finished. Well almost, a couple more tweaks and then we are finished. But we are doing the celebrating now :). This was such a big project for us. Making sure to get the measurements right and at the same time adjusting for the 100-year-old wonkiness of the walls and floors. Bear, I think, is the happiest about the new bench. We put her bed up there and I think she has only left it for the bare necessities.
Since this is a built-in and hope that it stays even after we are long gone, we burned our names and year into it. I think this is one of my favorite parts :). And as you can see from the pictures, we were cutting the cedar for the front into the late hours of the evening. But it was totally worth it!

At the same time as the bench, we were taping off the bathroom, priming, and painting it. We successfully got that done as well. To say we are zonked would be an understatement. Wishing we had a weekend to recover from our weekend. :) But when it's all said and done, we are both so excited to have those two projects finished. What a joy to have this time together, that we can work on building our house into a home.
