I made a do-it-yourself window seat for my bay window out of a wall cabinte the previous homeowner had made.  It is beautiful.  I eventually added bun feet to it, which made it even better.  Here's how I decided what height bun feet to use:  I took cans or even books if the cans were too tall and put them at the corners of the window seat at the exact height of the feet I was considering.  I found that very helpful, as the measurements (3", 4", whatever) didn't give me a good idea of what it would look like.  It actually looked pretty different. 

Once I'd decided on a height, I tried to approximate the shape of the feet, cutting them out of paper, with the particular width at the top and bottom and an approximation of the general shape of the foot.  I then attached those cut-outs to the bottom of the window seat to get an idea of how they would look.  This gave me an idea of how tall and wide the feet should be to give the right proportions. 

I also like the idea of the decoupage from lolakimono.

Those pictures are beautiful! I actually have a black cedar chest like the in the picture that could be updated to resemble the picture you found. Wow!
