Here's one I designed for a local childrens charity that does a parade of playhouses/auction each year to benefit their causes. I just found out Im winning an award for this one!
Anyone else ever built their kids a playhouse or have ideas to share?
wow! that is beautiful!
we have a playhouse in the backyard... the kind with swings, a slide, monkey rings, and a clubhouse... (boys only, but mom's allowed when there are snacks involved...)
we were thinking of putting a two story playhouse through our deck... with a trap door... but the plans never came through...
I want that!
thanks guys! Ill get some more pictures of the finished product. I was down there yesterday and theyve got the stucco and stone on.
Vxn...last years parade featuerd a two story firehouse aimed at boys, it was awesome...complete with the pole and everything.
Oooh come build one for me!! ;D
I dont build em! I just design them.
well, actually, I did all the trim carpentry on the last one I did.
But Im dangerous with a nail gun!
wow! that is awesome!
Well it's very very cool!
My house isn't that nice.
*weep*

I know! The guys who built it did a good job. Its insulated, with a chandelier and a spot for a TV. Hardwood floors. Its better built than my house is too.

to give you an idea of the scale...the "throw" in the chair is actually a dish towel.
that is so cute.
my cousin had a playhouse in her yard... i wanted one... her parents let her sleep in it.
my kids won't be able to sleep in theirs... not enough shelter... (the raccoons would carry them off into the night...)

Thats the previous one I did (the outside of the one I posted interior shots of)
:smitten: wow! *speechless!*
Can't make 'em too big or the neighborhood teens will use it as the make out shelter. :rant:
My daughter would LOVE that. In fact she's standing beside me w/her eyes popping out :spooked: She can't believe they're real play houses. LOL When I was growing up, we had a tree house that my cousin built, thinking back, I'm surprised mom let us in it. LOL
thanks! Want me to put in an absentee bid for you? :biggrin:
Could you! I'd be mom of the century!! :biggrin: Unfortunately I don't think our front yard would be big enough and the back yard is on an angle like this \ <--- No kidding. LOL I'd so love to give her a nice playhouse though. She's probably move in w/all her pets and I'd never see her again. LOL
That's really fantastic work, Gryphon.
Have you ever volunteered w/Habitat for Humanity? I bet they could use your talent.
That is amazing work! How much is the cost to build on like the above picture?
The details are incredible! Very nice work!

Not sure. Whenever Ive been in on this project, most of the materials and labor are donated. To recreate the finished one exactly would, Id guess, be around $12-$15 thousand.

a few times. Id like to do it more.
Cool! It's time consuming, but a very worthwhile charity. I volunteered for a short while in Maryland, but I mostly helped with fundraising. I'm not too handy w/a hammer. LMAO
Those are houses are very beautiful. What a great place to play. :yes:
Wow I love the interiors too!! WOW WOW WOW
Estimated completion date is July 16th. Fingers crossed.
I forgot to show you all the finished version of this years playhouse...here it is:
It was auctioned off for just north of ten grand...and sadly it fell off the flatbed when it was being delivered...was heavily damaged, and we feared it was a total loss, but ultimately was repaired:

It is absolutely precious, Gryphon...and definitely a fantastic return. :yes:
WOW! :smitten:
