    Default Mosquito Netting from Ceiling Question

    Well it's not exactly mosquito netting but I hope you get the idea. Ryan wants the gauzy fabric draped from the ceiling over her bed. Kinda like a canopy but attached to the ceiling over the center of her bed and then hanging down to each of the 4 bed corners. I hope you can get a visual idea here. It's hard to explain. Think Trading Spaces and a 10 year old with bid ideas.

    Has anyone here ever done this? Do you have any idea how much fabric or how to attach it easily to the ceiling so that when she changes her mind, I can take it down without a huge mess? Have you ever seen it on any other web sites? I would do a search but I can't think of what you would really call it. I'm having a brain blah moment here.

    Thanks Carolyn,
    I have ordered from them in the past and am pretty sure I have a catalog in my pile at home (to get the acct. # off of). I think she will love that one and I don't think I could make it myself any cheaper.

    Default Finally getting around to posting a pic

    Here is the picture of the purple, with fur trim, mosquito net hanging over Ryan's bed. So far, so good though the cat is real interested in it at times.

    Go ahead and order one for little Miss Belle. She's been very, very good.

    Right after I ordered this one I found lots of them at Claires in the mall. Never fails.

    Yes the price is comparable once you figure in shipping on the catalog order.
