This will make it more comfortable to sit on and will also add some visual interest. Also, the storage in the window seat is accessed from the front. This is easier than the more traditional type with the hinged lid, which must be built with a special, slow-close hinge and air holes to be safe. This will give them a furniture look while still ensuring that the doors will clear the carpet. This is a piece of furniture I've had for some time and which has long been earmarked for eventual relocation into one of the girls' bedrooms.
Armoires offer great flexibility in terms of storage.
The drawers on the bottom will hold lots of toys and games or clothes. The top section can hold any of these or hide a television. For now, I think this would make a great place for all of their dress-up clothes. I plan to add mirrors to the insides of the doors and to replace the lower shelves with a hanging rod. I also plan to attach the armoire to the wall as a precaution against tipping when one of Daddy's angels decides this would be a good place to climb.
