I recently installed the front door and will share exterior photos once I start working on the porch. Currently, my focus remains on the tower.
I applied trim to the flooring and ceiling of both tower bays, which include window seats that needed installation. Installing window seats after the walls are in place can be challenging, but achieving a finished interior requires working around these difficulties. The most effective approach is to trim down the seat's edges to ensure a better fit. Since specific placement instructions were not provided, I positioned the window seats beneath the windows, leaving enough space for bottom window trim.
I painted the seats white and then created simple upholstery, acknowledging my limited fabric and sewing skills. My upholstery process involved creating a poster board template with batting, using hot melt glue to attach the layers, and then wrapping the material in fabric like a gift. While the result was slightly imperfect, applying trim and fabric flowers to the front concealed any minor flaws. For the best results, I recommend using thin batting or felt instead of foam, as it simplifies fabric covering. To address potential gaps between the seats and bay walls, upholstery provides an excellent solution. For those less comfortable with fabric, wallpaper can serve as an alternative to create a faux fabric appearance.
