next!! (a window seat)

i have d.i.y.a.d.d.(do-it-yourself-attention-deficit-disorder).  i am not even done with the kitchen and i am ready to start a new project!  a window seat for the living room.

we have this niche in the living room with a big picture window.  it's wasted space really.  we tried putting a couch there, but it always butted up against the blinds.  every time we pulled it away from the window, the kids would come in and jump or plop themselves on the couch in a manner that would just push it back up against the window.  so i figure we could put in a window seat like this one

we need the extra storage for blankets and we could still use it for seating.  i am all hyped about this because it seems so doable-how hard can it be to build a box?!!
