Old Cupboards --> New Window Seats

 I am so excited to FINALLY be finished with these! It's one of those projects that should've only taken one, maybe two days tops but ended up taking about a week...or two. But I think it turned out all right.
One day on pinterest I saw a picture of some window seats a guy had made out of old cupboards. I was super excited because we had the old cupboards from our kitchen downstairs that would work perfectly!
 Before...
 After! 
 I needed to sand them down a lot. There were layers of nasty, greasy gunk on them and it had obviously been a while since they had been cleaned. After sanding them I painted them, added wheels, and then seats! Like I said, it shouldn't have taken as long as it did to finish these, but one thing that I have noticed is that when you are a mom things like this tend to take a little bit longer. :) Anyways, I'm glad to be finished with these. And now there's a little extra storage under our window. :)
 
 Here's a few more random pics...
 I put Azuree's "mullet" into pigtails for the first time the other day!

 
 I love this little girly!

  3. Way to go! Your piggy tails look really nice, Azuree! jk....I LOVE the window seats, Audrey. It does my heart good to know someone else in this family understands why projects take so long for moms. Wonderful!
