DIY Window Seat
For those who can’t afford to get baywindow-ed houses just yet or those who simply would have more fun making their own window seats, I found a good resource on how to make your dream DIY window seat a reality. Check out the pic above.
Here are the materials you will be needing:

1 4′x 8′ sheet of particle board [$17.99]
64 sq ft of scrap carpeting foam [$30]
2 2′x 9′ pieces of upholstery foam [$10 ea]
17′ of upholstery fabric (54″ wide–pretty standard) [$11]
6 pieces of scrap cardboard (~22″x 8″ ea)
Here are the tools you’ll be needing:
Staple gun [$4]
Staples [$1.25]
