A Bench for the Big Girlie

So the girlie is 2 and of course potty training is in full swing!

Also needed is a way to store those pull-ups and

be able to reach the water to wash our hands.

Hey, it's a 2-in-1 deal!

Of course like almost all my projects, 

the plans came from Ana White. 

I measured just to be sure and the pull-ups fit great!

I first measure and cut all pieces of wood.

I wanted to paint a picture on this stool so I also

painted all pieces before assembly.

I rubbed pencil on the backside of the message

I wanted to imprint on the wood so I could paint

within the lines. It was light enough to paint over 

but dark enough to see.

and of course when I started drawing on wood...

my little helper decided that was

something she needed to to try as well.

When all pieces were completed with graphics

I was able assemble the stool. I searched on-line

for many different images and stool ideas. I took a 

number of different ones and came up with this.

I'm pretty happy with the results and it looks so much better 

than that ugly construction stool that we were using. ;)
