FORT CENTRAL - 5.6.14

Hey guys, it's me, that girl katie, My kids love forts!

All winter I have been meaning to put together this fort under a built in desk in my daughter’s room and this week I pulled it off. I had to buy some supplies but then I styled it with items she already had such as, her dolls and doll clothes.

Steps:

1. Purchase plain white fabric & hem to fit space 2. Sketch design and paint 3. Style fort: curtains, doll clothes string, lights, wall decal and other fort items.

Supplies:

Online Fabric Store - Curtains Amazon - Shower rod The Land of Nod - Puff and box Dash & Albert - Rug Wallstickz - Chalkboard Decal Cost Plus World Market - Lights Amazon - Hooks

Tips:

I used graphics from Mini Boden to help inspire my drawing on the curtains. Saving a catalog was very helpful.

Time:

It took 3 evenings once kids were asleep to sketch and paint plus a morning to style the fort.

And the best part is, they LOVE it!
