The Playhouse Is Open- Come On In

Here it is!

Plug it into your GPS if you are 

coming from a distance.

It is at 1 Lulu Avenue

 Before you come in you must 

KNOCK.

You can use this cute little 

ACORN DOOR KNOCKER!

It's just below the sweet little hat that

hangs on the door.

(see my ghostly hand in the window holding the camera)-duh--

The flag that hangs off the porch makes me smile.

When you open the door this is immediately in front of you.

There are large double windows above 

THE WICKER SOFA

 that face South.

This is the back wall, 

and I did not get the windows in the photo.

They take up the whole top of the wall.

This hangs below the window and over the sofa.

Sorry-it is so bright that the light reflected off it.

To the right is the hutch-

It is an old shelf sitting on top of an old French Provincial side table.

I really need to paint the side table to match.

I'll get right on that-

after I catch up on everything else..

(that was a joke)

To the right of the hutch and along the side wall that faces West

sits the STOVE. 

EVERY playhouse needs a STOVE.

Moving further along the wall to the right

is this mirror.

There are hooks beneath it and the girls will

hang their dress up dresses & clothes there

the next time they are here.

There is a leaded glass window to the right.

Yes, I need to paint it white.

These are salesmen's samples from when

we owned a window, siding & door company.

This area is just a little niche.

There is a chandelier....

Those are Heritage Lace curtains that I used 

in the Cottage on Cook here.

They are perfect here with their heart design.

Below the chandy sits a little wicker table.

The tablecloth is one my mother treasured.

She lived a plain and simple life 

and I am sure she never

would have imagined that her 

Great-Grandchildren would use it in such

a fancy little playhouse.

It is not ALL fun and games though.

There are babies here that need some care.

The one on the right was my oldest daughter's

FIRST BABY DOLL.

Well, that's about it.

It is quiet in the playhouse today 

because school is not out yet.

We close the door and glance back at the

window boxes as the bunny bids us goodbye

until we come again.

And if you come again

plan on spending the night!

Here's WHY!

You think THAT'S GREAT?

Wait till you see what's for BREAKFAST!

MUD PIE!

NO!  Not THAT KIND of MUD PIE!

THIS kind of MUD PIE.

Hey- you're renting from KIDS!

Remember?
