The Little Pink Bench

 

After looking around for months, trying to find a little bench to fit under the window in the girls’ bathroom, I asked Glenn to make me something.

Nothing fancy. Nothing involving a lot of time.

Just a simple, cute little bench on which the girls could set their clean clothes.

A place for them to sit while they do each other’s hair, or when Kate has one of her beauty salon days and fancies them up.

 

Within a few hours of my request, Glenn finished up something that fit my requirements perfectly.

I painted it with some leftover paint from Alix and Kate’s room.

 

But when I looked at it, it just needed a little something.

 

So I painted a gray number 5 right in the middle of the seat.  Then I distressed it a little and rubbed on one coat of wax.

It made me laugh when each of the kids, one by one, asked me what the 5 represented.

Winking smile

 

It seemed so obvious to me…

  3. I thought because you have five girls. Maybe it should be a five minute limit in the bathroom. lol

  4. Sharron- you're right! It's the 5 girls - but I'm wondering about your 5 min. limit... you could be on to something. ;)
