Playhouse Prettified

When does cleaning
seem like playing?
Never?
Well, if YOU feel that way
then you need a
PLAYHOUSE.
I head off to play work
with the tools of trade.
Mrs.Meyers cleaner-
LOVE IT!
AND my
SHARK STEAM MOP

I seriously LOVE that steam mop.
I mean-LOVE IT!
It does such a good job
of deep cleaning floors.

So...wondering what I got done?
I cleaned the windows.
Can you believe they have
leaded glass windows in the 
PLAYHOUSE?
They do!
We used to own/operate a 
Window/Siding/Door company.
These were some of the
Salesmans' samples.
The perfect size for a playhouse.

I wanted to add that the playhouse
is a good size.
It is about 10' x 12' and
is about 15' at the peak.
There is an upper area inside
that holds a twin sized mattress.
We don't let the kids go up there
yet because of their ages,
but soon they will be old enough
to do that without fear
that they will take a fall.

The rugs are all washed
and the furniture is back 
in place.
Everything in here was found
at a thrift shop.
Child size wicker settee-
was brown- I spray painted it white.
A matching chair...
Brooms and dusters for 
"cleaning"
stand beside the "hutch".
I plan to paint the bottom
to match the top soon.
Here is the sweet little top..
A small wicker table
with a tablecloth my 
Mother embroidered many years ago.
A chandelier to add a bit of bling.
And....the most important part
of it all is coming up here tomorrow.
Pack your bags cuz you
can stay here cheap!
See what I mean?
Pop by tomorrow for your
morning smile!
I'll show you the 
Princess Brigade.
They are 
Princesslicious!

  14. I L O V E the playhouse! When can I come and stay? LOL! The kids will enjoy it for a long time. Thanks for the tip on eating a banana and drinking water for leg cramps!
    I saw your little dresser with the tea cabinet on top! I have a very similar dresser and need to re finish it! It was called a bachelors chest and had a removable shelf on top. I will have to tell you that story sometime, when my oldest pulled it down on top of her!
    I appreciate our friendship here, I really do. I am always trying to catch up! :)
    Have a beautiful weekend!

I'll bet your granddaughters have a blast in their house!!!

  49. Do you think there is room for one big (little) child at heart? I could move right in! I promise not to fall from the loft. We had a playhouse at our previous home. Was planning on building one here next year. Thinking I might make it a potting shed instead. Oh, will the grandies ever forgive me? I will have to a least put a small table and cupboard in there. Yours is just precious.
    Hugs,
    Jann

  51. When I was growing up the little neighbor girl had a little playhouse......her father was a home builder so it was very well built....but certainly didn't have the charm of yours.....I'd have adored this as a little girl....
