Hannah's Quiet Corner

While searching on pinterest, I came across the idea of a playhouse canopy like this:

I even found a few tutorials:

So I put it on my TO DO list and figured it was the perfect idea for SubfertileFrugalista's Pinterest challenge.

Yesterday Hannah & I attended a consignment event with Jessica & Ethan and while shopping between the toy and book sections, I found this round gauzy THING shoved under the table.  It was wrapped up pretty tight, but appeared to be a bed canopy.  It only cost $3 so I took a chance.

After some investigation online, I discovered that it is IKEA's Fabler bed canopy and retails for $20.

Score.

This afternoon, I gathered up the canopy, Hannah's stuffed animal collection, a wicker-ish laundry basket I bought at Goodwill ($3) months ago, a cushion I made for the dogs that was never actually USED by the dogs, and some blankets.  The resulting transformation:

Isn't is CUTE?!?!

Here's Hannah's reaction:

I think we have a winner, folks.
