Teepee or not teepee

My middle munchkin S occasionally likes to escape the chaotic antics of his brothers and find a little spot to chill out with his books and puzzles. His favourite previous little getaway spot was a Thomas and Friends pop-up house which doesn't so much pop as flop anymore after a couple of years of constant use and being climbed on. He likes to stand up and take stock of his surroundings so a lot of the little houses available now aren't tall enough, even though he's only a little cupcake.

So now I'm thinking along the lines of a teepee, it would be a great little spot to hide and chill out and with a few cushions scattered on the floor would be so lovely and cosy.

Here's some teepee inspiration, I have had these images for ages stored in my decor folder so I have no recollection of where I found them and hence can't credit their origins, oops!





Aren't they gorgeous? Most of the ones I have researched online such as Dobbin and Drum and An Angel at my Table are pretty expensive so I'm still on the hunt.

That's such a bummer someone outbid you! I want a teepee for myself now after looking at those pictures :) But it may just be that the rooms are just as inviting too! Any good finds lately? I haven't had much time for blog reading lately, so I'm feeling out of the loop on everyone! We moved in Saturday- it's a great feeling!

Thanks everyone, he's a little cupcake :-)

Evelyn, I'd love to take credit for any of those gorgeous rooms - they're just from my inspiration folder though, and Missa - it did occur to me to try and make a teepee from bamboo and some fab fabric I have but then I reminded myself that's it's been 12 months since I started H's bunting and I'm still not finished - at that rate the teepee might be ready in time for the boy's own children!! :-)

Grass I am SO going to steal your teepee next time I'm at yours ;-)
