Creating a Custom Bed Cushion For the Kids

My upstairs has three bedrooms: the master, the children’s and the nursery. Since my youngest daughter is no longer a baby, we have turned what once was the nursery into the children’s library. The room has long been a favorite of the children’s due to the ample amount of light, the soft carpet (the only room in the house with it) and the proximity to our bedroom and bathroom.

We have several bookcases in the room, along with toy bins that slide into the shelves. Up until a week ago, we had two overstuffed Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere chairs that I had seen enough of and sold on a local community Facebook yard sale group (it’s the BEST idea ever and I highly recommend it). I also had purchased a cast-iron bed frame while at Brimfield that was to go in the room in their place.
