The Princess Fortress
Does any body else secretly hate it when dad and kids fill the living room with every blanket, chair and broomstick in the house in efforts to build the most space consuming fort they can? Not to mention it “has to” be left up for at least a day making any other purpose for the main living area unattainable.
Because I do secretly hate all that, this idea from Design Sponge was very appealing to me. It’s a semi-permanent, out of the way, and much more glamorous fort to satisfy the needs of the children. Not to mention, it was a rather genius way to fill an empty corner of the princess room.
And I have to tell you, I haven’t had this much fun playing with loads of luxurious fabrics since I was a little girl raiding my grandma’s stash.
So I suggest you check out the design sponge how-to and make a princess fort for yourself! I’ve so loved the tea parties and piles of books we have already enjoyed in here.
Wouldn’t this also be dreamy under a shade tree, or glamorous over a bed. I also love how design sponge used it as a romantic escape.
Finally, for you fabric hoarders like me – this too can cost you nothing!
I would love for you to link it up to my party that is running now. Any linky goes. <br /><br />http://bacontimewiththehungryhypo.blogspot.com/2011/06/any-link-goes-party-running-now-summer.html<br /><br />Come strut your stuff.
Beautiful, that's a lovely fort! I think my basement needs one, I've got girls only so the more pink and girly I shove in my house the better, right? 😉
