The Den

She has her own bedroom of course. A whole room to herself where she can be by herself and do whatever she wants in private, even in secret (although we are not allowed to have secrets these days). However, the current exploit du jour is building a den in the salon using the sofa cushions.

Surely she could build something similar in her bedroom using the duvet and pillows? Apparently not. The bed doesn't have the right kind of cushions.

Here she is emerging from today's new house. A sort of Bauhaus inspired design wouldn't you say?



And here is a glimpse of the interior filled with lots of soft furnishings to make it comfortable.



I feel like I'm living in an episode of Your House In Their Hands or Changing Rooms. I never know what I'm going to find when I return from the kitchen after putting the kettle on.

  1. What you need is an unused understairs space - where my eldest had her den for years. You wouldn't believe all the mad stuff I found in there when I finally got to clear it out!

    1. Ah stairs, we have no stairs inside our flat. There is an unused space three flights down in the lobyy. LOL, I don't think the neighbours would like it though.

  2. We would spend hours making dens with my Mum's clothes airer, and an old picnic blanket. Then we would spend hours inside them reading with torches (even though it was brilliant day light outside!) :D

    1. LOL, that reminds me of a story my friend told me about how they snuck out by climbing out the window. No one was watching so they could have gone out the door but they were sneaking so they had to go out the window.

  3. Oh how lovely. I give my two some high back chairs and a sheet and they can be gone for ages! Sometimes it's fun to get in with them and take a feast. I hope she lets you do that?!
