A window seat fit for a Princess

It's in!

The amazingly talented Tommy of Trillium Custom Woodwork in Brantford came today and installed Emmy's new window seat slash shelf unit! She will be thrilled with it since it really is fit for a princess (and she is now constantly referring to herself as a Princess!)!

Without any permanent furniture in that corner of the room, it really felt a bit awkward and barren. Add to that the fact that we really needed some functional storage in her room to house books, special mementos and pretty, princess items and I can't get over how perfect the piece ended up.

I did some research online and found a few examples on Pinterest that I loved - from there Tommy measured and started building and here we are:

Here she is! Tons of storage space and the perfect thing to frame that window and fill the awkward space in that corner of the room. 
I'm on the hunt for perfectly fitting baskets to go in those bottom cubbies. 

I can't wait to get in there and fill those shelves with all of Emmy's favourite books (she has SO many and honestly loves them all - case in point I found her asleep at nap time with a book open across her chest, but she was sound asleep).

Next up for the Princess' room is choosing fabric and having some curtains made to fit the unique sized windows and a cushion for the seat! Exciting!
