We have a walk-thru closet that connects the guest room to my craft room and it's held some toys and a dollhouse on the floor for years - it only recently occurred to me that I could easily make this a little play room. We have a table that was originally built to go overtop 2 dog crates but it hasn't been used for that in a long time and has kicked around in various rooms - I put it in the play closet and set up the doll house so Georgie can now stand or sit on a stool and play (and Aunt Jill doesn't have to get up and down from the floor a hundred times LOL). On the other side of the closet I put half of a metal shelf to hold toys, blocks, stuffed animals, etc. at her level and she can help herself to what she wants to get out.
The room was done until I had the idea that if I hung a curtain in front of the table we could have a fort and I think she'll love it. I hung command hooks at either end under the table top and one in the center. Took a piece of fabric that used to be a curtain someplace (I'm not really a lace person and have no idea where this lace curtain came from which means its been in my stash for a very long time hahah). It has a pocket across the top for a curtain rod, I ran a piece of white rope thru it and knotted the ends, then hooked onto the command hooks. Finally I cut a slit up the middle creating flaps where she can enter the fort. I might add tiebacks to hold the sides back but first I'm going to see if it's necessary. Oh, and I used the lace thinking she's only 2 for now and being see-thru might be a good idea so she isn't scared - later, if she likes it, I'll probably switch to a solid material.
Play room is now ready - I just need the kid to come over and play with me!!
