The playhouse has been locked up now for the winter and filled with all the large garden toys so I can't show you the inside, but here is the outside looking lovely in the Autumn sun:
Here is a reminder of what it looked like before:

A huge pile for the tip!
Then my Dad very kindly built some decking around it, so the Children had a step to get into the playhouse.

Next, I whipped up some bunting to decorate the outside - See here for the tutorial on the bunting!
Finally, I painted a planter to go under the window - see here for the planter makeover!
Here is the planter now with the Spring bulbs already showing:
So, that's it for the outside! As for the inside, I painted one coat of white, put up some paper bunting and then filled it with the play kitchen and other toys. I was eager for the kids to get in it and get as much use out of it as possible. I will finish the inside next Spring and show you the pictures then.
I hope you like the Playhouse :)

Thank you Sammy! This bunting has been up two years now and is looking rather shabby, definitely needs replacing this summer ;) Tracy xx
DeleteOh my god I LOVE it! Such a difference, I can't believe it's the same shed. The planter on the outside really completes the look too :-) #homeetc Sabrina xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Sabrina! It has made such a difference to have too, we have had it two years now and the kids love it! It could do with updating again now though....... Thanks for stopping by, Tracy xx

Thank you Caro! Yes they loved it and two years on they still do! It needs some sprucing up now but they don't mind :) xx
DeleteWhat a fab space and amazing new little place for the children! Better than before - by far!! Thanks for sharing and link up, fab project xxx #HomeEtc
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, definitely better than the garden shed filled with rubbish! It now gets used all spring/summer as a playhouse and in winter as toy/bike storage! You're welcome xx
