I know I’m maybe two weeks late on this one, but I really want to get in on the fort action.

There are actually blueprints for this incredible DIY Valentine’s Fort featured over at Design*Sponge; but really, does this surprise anyone?  The creations on Design*Sponge are perfect, because they are constructed with genius.

Sadly, once I read fishing line and screw hooks, I retired from fancy fort-making.  I’m going to sit on my sofa with a blanket over my head.  Toodles.

[...] How does a grown-up justify the need for an indoor tent?  Also, how does said grown-up maintain husband’s calm when he comes home and sees our already questionably girly bed draped in lace, chandeliers, and twinkling Christmas lights? Either way, I am officially smitten with tents, once again. [...]

Awww, this is SOOOOOOOOOO fun!! I’ve always had lots of vintage sheer scarves, and I built a sort of canopy around my bed with them at one point. But it fell down. :( I love this idea of a tent, though, SOOO fun!
