Good Questions: Bench Suggestions?

Cheryl writes: I really enjoy your site and the wonderful ideas everyone contributes. I have a question and I hope you can help. I had been looking at these benches for my daughters room once she got a bit older, however now that she is older, Land of Nod no longer sells them.

Please share any suggestions you have with Cheryl in the comments below...thanks!

Cheryl,

I created a password, just to share this :). I have been looking for a bench as well, and i found this great one at JCPenney's. You could always spray paint it if you wanted more primary colors, but i love the vintage look.
