Childhood is a time of unlimited possibilities. Little boys can be cowboys one minute and superheroes the next. Little girls can be trapeze artists, soccer stars or princesses--all within an hour.
As is frequently the case in bedrooms, corner areas are often underutilized. After completing the functional area of the room, you may realize you have a fairly large area in the corner that needs attention. .
Unfortunately, we all know that little princesses tend to grow up way too fast, so you'll want to create the dress-up area in a way that will cause no permanent damage to the room.
Use a closet rod to create this special place. When your prince or princess grows up, only a few small holes will have to be filled to restore the room to normal.
The first step was to determine the placement of the closet rod. Measure four feet from the corner on both adjacent walls and mark a spot three inches from the ceiling.
In order to mount the closet rod hardware, it will be necessary to cut a four-inch piece off a two-by-four board. Then cut this block diagonally from corner to corner, creating two triangular blocks.
Predrill the blocks and mounted them with the uncut side to the wall using self-anchoring mollies. These blocks created the mounting surface for the closet rod hardware. After mounting the hardware, place the rod in the supports.
To make it easier for little hands, use a lightweight fabric to drape the dress-up area. Rather than make these drapes, you can purchase two shower curtains in the same color as the walls. Mount the shower curtain to the closet rod with shower rings.
Although the drapery system functions very well, it may not seem very festive. To make it more colorful and fitting for a fairytale, you can cut varying lengths of a complementary ribbon and create streamers that are tied to the shower rings.
Next comes the fun part: accessorizing. Since momn will want to keep the area neat, add two shelves to the area. One shelf to hold pretty dress-up dresses and boas, the other used to store hats, purses and all the other fashion accessories a young dreamer requires.
Just in case your little one has a change of heart and decides to become an astronaut, add a toy chest, which serves as both a seat and storage for other costumes and accessories. With the addition of a mirror, your dress-up area is complete.
I bet the little prince or princess in your life will be delighted!
