Taking shape

The seat boxes are going in today! It seems such a shame to cover up the beautiful wood panels but it has to be done! We're replicating what was originally in the Fiat when we bought it, however we've shortened the bench seat by the side door so that it doesn't cover up the door way. We've decided instead to have an in-fill piece that is stored under the seat. It means that we will lose a little bit of storage but it will make living in it feel so much more spacious. From a design perspective it also looks really nice having a long bench on one wall and a shorter one on another. The long bench extends beyond the table and allows for a space to sit next to the table rather than behind it.

For this summer we've decided just to leave the floor bare until we can find a floor covering we like. Nate loves it because it is so smooth and slippery. He has had all his friends in it sliding around on the floor!
