The Perfect Hideout — by Guest Mom Rachel Jones
I have mixed feelings about the movie, 'The Holiday' as a whole, but, this scene with the girly tent, and cute british accents was just beautiful. I want to create a fun place similar to this for my wee one to play in. Here are a few tents and playhouses that I found for a various ages, and budgets. Along with these product ideas, one can always create a little play paradise of their own, using their creativity and craft skills.
These two are from Chasing Fireflies.

o.k...I need a girl.
my mom made a teepee for us when i was a kid. it isn't very girly, but it served its purpose. just long long wooden dowels, and then just get some canvas type fabric and make it to your specifications. i bet there is a pattern out there somewhere for something like that.
Oh!! I love all these! My kids love "forts" and anything else we can make out of blankets & cushions. Such great ideas :)
This is a fun post, Rachel. I too loved the little tent in that movie.
i loved that movie. although cameron, not her best acting.
that was such a magical part of the movie that enchanted me, too.
I'll have to do this for my kids. They'd love it.
I made a great teepee for my daughter using an uber simple pattern from www.sewbaby.com. I then purchased a funky hula girl fabric from www.reprodepot.com to make it cool enough for our living room (which has a tropical vibe). the frame was made with PVC pipe from Home Depot and some rope. I put it on top of a sheepskin, and she plays in it every single day :) It's also portable (can be stored under a bed/couch, used outside, etc.). I totally wish I had one when I was a kid. A boy fabric would totally make this a boy "fort".

We have that play tent from Craftbury kids, and my kids play in it ALL the time.
yum!
I also loved the tent in that movie. I have made a Teepee for my children years ago. Now I am thinking of making one again for the young bunch at our house. Thanks for the wonderful post on it. I also am still not sure I like the movie.
