I figured out Google Sketchup!

After trawling through Ana-White.com a few weeks ago, I downloaded Google Sketchup. It sat in my apps folder until today when I decided to crank it up and give it a go.

After several tries, I got really cross and was about to throw my toys! THEN I decided I should watch a tutorial. Viola! That was SO easy - I had it figured out in no time :)

Inspired by the Easy Three Cube Bench from Ana's website, I managed to draw up my own plans for my own (hopefully) easy FOUR cube bench seat.

It will have 4 different coloured cubes in the cubbys - red and white for Scarlett, pink and purple for Samantha - those colours match their bed clothes. It will also have a foam squab on top - thus the small lip around the top to stop it falling off.

I'm rather pleased with how the plans have come out - lets just hope it will translate well into wood!

      Thanks! Discovered yesterday at Bunnings that I'm going to have to alter it slightly due to the wood I wanted to use not being that big - d'oh!! Will be ply wood instead. Not quite the effect I was going for, but better than blinkin' MDF!
