Cloakroom Bench

With crisp Autumn mornings finally here, we (I) decided that the cloakroom was in need of a bench to assist the children in removing their warm clothing.

The children have adopted the practice of sitting on the little step into the kitchen to accomplish this task, and seem especially fond of using this low step (even when offered a chair). So, we (Josh) got to work making this adorable little bench for them- a mere 6 3/4" tall (to match the height of the step).

When you enter the cloakroom from outside, it really looks as if elves must live here.
