(I never actually witnessed the gluey, glittered fingers touching the walls and yet, there the fingerprints were, time and time again!)

The table doesn’t *look* that heavy. Or you could do a dutch-door kind of thing to the closet, and then crawl under the table and use the bottom-half door to get in ;-)

Fine to keep stickers and pretty paper and coloring pages and crayons up there…glitter & paint & liquid glue, wait for Mama! ;-)

Mara: I like it! Except then I won’t be able to get into my linen closet! ;)

We ARE toying with the idea of using it as our art table though… now just where to keep it?! (Keeping it in her room IS a possibility if I can get over the idea of three-year old unsupervised art time while I’m downstairs cooking dinner, for example.)
