In between job hunting, my husband
John Plocher, has
been designing and creating a window seat for
WP668, our 1916 backyard caboose. WP668 is
a bay window caboose with my desk in one bay, facing the house across the
garden. The other bay features a lovely custom three piece
stained glass window created for us by
Vince Taylor. The
red linoleum flooring and stained glass were both installed
in May 2008. Everything was designed around the planned window seat.
The window seat is deep enough so that the space below can hold the window
screen inserts John made last year. The seat top is done and John is working
on the front. It will be painted white and have a leather cushion when
complete. Photos of the project so far:

The window seat makes such a huge difference! I can’t wait to see the totally finished product though I have to say it already looks great as is.
Wow! What a cool project. As a guy with only a 20×20 backyard I’m a little jealous and very, very impressed!
