tee pee time!

These projects are a part of my littlest sister Audrey's room. The vintage vanity was updated using gloss white paint for the body & chalkboard paint for the table top. Then, Mod Podge mixed with silver glitter was applied as a top coat over the white paint. The chalkboard paint + the Mod Podge glitter combo takes care of uneven surfaces.

And then my little sister's twin bed became a tee pee for about $20!

An 18" embroidery hoop is secured to the ceiling with u pipe hangers from the hardware store. 3 sets of IKEA netting curtains ($5 per pair) are tied to the embroidery hoop & an ombre turquoise scarf  is stapled to the hoop, over the curtains, around the top of the tee pee. Christmas lights & a dream catcher are hung on the inside of the tee pee (securing them to the inside of the embroidery hoop & to a screw in hook in the ceiling). Finally, the bottom of the curtains are tucked under & behind her twin mattress. The tee pee ends stayed put pretty well, except in the corners, where clear duct tape was used to secure them to the floor under the mattress.  The tee pee is such a pretty place to relax & rest. I wish I had one! It's simple & cheap. $15 netting & a $4 embroidery hoop, Christmas lights & hanging supplies for just a few dollars.


That's a lot of impact for $20!
