Play Room Storage Unit

This project has taken me months (yes there is an s on that) to get done. I just chipped away at it a little at a time. Here is the beginning of out storage unit. You last saw this picture when I did our basement reveal after we repainted and added board and battan to the walls. It was small and only primed at that point.

Since then I've added quite a bit more to it. I turned to Ana White for her free plans. The plans for the base sections can be found here, and the plans for the cubby portion can be found here. I made a few modifications since I wanted the storage unit to be built-in around our 8-inch ledge and wanted the unit to look like this:

Warning: Mine doesn't look that pretty...yet.  

Once it was all built I was unhappy with the edges not being completely smooth (since I used MDF) and I wanted it to look seamless where the units met up. You can see what I'm talking once you see the photo below:

So I bought a bunch of trim to cover it all up. That made it look so much better!

Here it is all painted. FINALLY! It's been a long time coming. I obviously need to still find/make some bins to make it look all cute, but for now all the toys have a place, and I love that.
