Cliff's Workbench!

For Christmas Cliff got his very own Workbench! I scoured the Internet for workbenches to buy, but they were either too expensive or cheaply made or just plain ugly. So on December 22nd, I decided that we Ross would build him one! I gathered a bunch of different ideas from different places then Ross and I sat down talked about what we liked, got to work and ended up with this:

Here is where we began. Once we finalized our plan, Ross went outside and started building the workbench:

I started painting the sign to go on Cliff's Workbench:

It was cold outside so Ross bought the workbench in the kitchen so we could paint it. We wanted the top and the bottom shelf to stay wood, so we taped it off with painter's tape and painted the workbench red (I got a gallon of the paint for $5 at Lowe's in the mismatched section - don't you just love it when that happens?!).

This is what we ended up with:

Of course Cliff needs all of his Tractors and Dump trucks to haul all of his materials:

Cliff's Workshop has also been such an awesome tool to use for Therapy! He will stand at it by himself  and "build" things just like daddy without holding on!

This turned out to be one of my favorite things in our playroom!
