I had a request to post about the cubbies which I built for the playroom we're putting in up in the attic. We knew that for the short "knee walls" around the edge of the room, we wanted to maximize space, so I thought that it would be a good idea to build a dozen or so cubbies for the kids' toys to go in. I went to Lowes, and while they have a policy of no more than 2 cuts per board (they have a big saw there), I was able to get ALL 60 cuts done (by prentending to be helpless... why is it guys just eat that up?!).
This was an easy job to work on one night while watching tv- just lots of time spent with the brad nailer getting everything all assembled.
Here they are- 14 cubbies all built and ready to be caulked and painted...
I let the kids each use some of the left over paint from their rooms to help paint the cubbies. Here's Teddy working on his...
And Anna working on one of hers. I'll follow with a picture of all of them together, once they're installed in the attic :-)

Cool! Thanks for the pics! Can't wait to see them all installed! Now I know how to put my FIL to work (he's retired and loves to build!)
You are one talented woman! Can't wait to see the finished project!
I love organizational things!
