I got the idea when I saw the card table playhouses that are all around blog land and thought "That is soo cute, but I am cramped on space in the kids room as it is." Then we built the kid's bunkbeds and while trying to find plans on how to build one I came across things like THIS. And then it just clicked! We built the bunk bed from plans we found on Knock Off Wood, and since then I have had the project swimming in my head.
I drew up plans and took it with me to the fabric store. I bought all the different colors of felt that I needed and it sat in a bag in the craft room. (Story of my life). This past weekend I broke it out knowing that in a couple weeks my niece and nephew would be coming for a visit and wanted to have something fun for the cousins to play in together. It's going to be perfect!
The kids discovered it a minute ago while I was writing this post and what I heard was, "WOW! ETHAN! LOOK! It's a house! Come here!" It made me smile and glow. Knowing I had made something special makes me proud. I am sure it will provide hours of imaginative play and story times together. I can't wait!
*And if anyone is wanting one I am thinking about selling some in my Etsy shop. I have an account set up but nothing to sell yet (sad I know). What do you think? Would anyone be interested? I need to come up with a better name for them too. Any suggestions?

Brittany, that is absolutely adorable. A perfect touch for the bunk bed. Your kids will absolutely LOVE it! How creative. I have been debating how to freshen up Tim's room and a couple other rooms in our house. I am dead on ideas...I need some of your creativity planted in my brain.
oh, I do love it! I think I might have to make one - my kids were just playing in their bunk beds today, but with masses of blankets instead of this cuteness
You could call it a "Bunk Bed Bungalow". Wow! It's adorable. Can I come and play?
Call it a Bunk House.
