Grandma and I spent a couple months building this playhouse for our grandkids. The project took longer and cost more than we initially thought it might but we had a lot of fun doing it and it's a big hit with the kids.
We followed the plans on this blog pretty closely only changing a thing or two here and there. We used cedar for the deck and railing and we painted it (and roofed it) to match our house. We put in 1/4 inch tempered glass windows to keep the rain out in the winter. (The glass is easily removed for summer.)
Thank you Ana White for providing such a great little plan!

Oh My!
Oh My heavens this is AMAZING! What a special treat for your grand kids. You think I could get my mom and dad to pay for it if I build it for our cabin? HMM I will have to pitch it to them.

So nice
This is just beautiful! The build, the landscaping, the paint. I am always stalking the brag posts to see if any new playhouses have been posted as we have been working on my daughter's since March:) I know! It has taken us forever. This is our first build and I work full time so we are a little slow. I just love what you've done with the place! Great job!
