Tepee


I really did have a weekend full of nothing at all and it was wonderful. How was yours?

Robert was given a tepee as a birthday gift and I finally got around to setting it up in his room for him. We spent most of the weekend hiding away in here. I scattered a few cushions and laid down a blanket and we played games, had lunch, rang the bell a millions times and even had a little nap in the tepee.


The tent is much bigger than I thought it would be and it took me a few tries setting it up and rearranging the room to get it to fit but in the end it did... just. If you are interested in a tepee, this one is from here and comes in other colours too.


Another little update to his room is moving the circus party print I made for his 1st birthday party onto his dresser and I also attached the ribbon around the lampshades with just a dab of glue so that I can remove it in the future without ruining the shades.

  5. That teepee looks so sweet in his room. Looks like the perfect cozy place to play, read, nap... I'm going to see if they have a stockist in Europe!

  6. I know this would be a little childish for a 15 year old but I would love a Tepee in my own room soon!

  7. My girls were given the same teepee for christmas and they love it. It's definitley not as easy to put up as they said but well worth it. We were doing a fair bit of carting it between the toyroom and backyard so we screwed the top and just keep it all together with a pretty scarf, works much better. I hope your little man has hours of fun in there.

  8. That is so adorable. I've been looking for a teepee like that to replace the jumble of blankets that form make do tents in our living room for an age. I wonder if I can find one in England?

    Your son is very handsome too!

    Little Sooti - I certainly can if anyone is interested in one!

    cutlex - you are never too old for a tepee!

    Danielle - it wasn't easy was it? I thought it was just me. Good tip about the scarf!

    Thanks for all your comments. We had a lot of fun with it x

  28. What a fabulous room, I love it. Nice and spacious! Can I ask, did you make or buy the memory box frame thinger propped up against the window, next to the circus poster? Are they badges inside it?

  29. Mikaela - I made it using an IKEA frame and button badges from Gumboots. You can see the step-by-step here:
