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!

If you like DIY projects you can try pimping that step stool into what you want. If not, good luck on your search.

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.
