Playhouse Progress.

As some of you may have read in my previous posts, we recently acquired our "quaint" shed. Our landscape designer was very clear that we really could just have any old metal shed but that we need to find something that would stand out and be a good fit for the acreage. So this is what we came up with. I haven't sent her any pictures or had her come over yet to see it. Very excited for her to see it. And hope she loves it as much as we truly do.

The pink potting shed/playhouse/garden ~ tool hut in it's original color of bright pink. I knew the second I saw it that it would not stay pink. Figuring out what color to paint it was bit challenging but in the end, I love what we ended up choosing. Just the right shade of the right color.

And in it's new hue of radiance .... our little guy was not impressed. He really liked the pink! Now he says it's dark but we really like that it matches the big house. 

There will be more progress over the long weekend .... painting, sawing, gluing, hammering .... I'll do more updates as we go. This project has been a lot of fun so far. We're half way there and loving it making it truly ours.

Tiny House.

Our little guy has finally inherited this tiny house from his mama's childhood. After saving and scrimping, we bought this sturdy and colorfl playhouse back in 1990 when she was just 4.5. It was never used outside as we had a perfect spot for it in our lower level and we didn't want it to become weathered by the elements. The kids loved it growing up and the investment we made, at the time, not easy on our small and frugal budget but so worth it in the end. We did get an amazing sale but still, it was not a cheap venture. Yet, 26 years later, it's still part of our family life and we're so excited that little B is having great fun with it, this time, outside. We did decide on this lovely spot as it has some trees to provide shade on sunny days. And right beside the hammock means I can swing away while he plays! Lots of fun.

Did you have a playhouse growing up?

Or if you have children, did they?
