Last weekend, mum and I found a diamond in the rough at a yard sale.
An old beat-up PLAYHOUSE!
As you can see - it needed a lot of work but had LOADS of potential.
The biggest challenge was how to move it to our backyard.
Luckily, Drew was totally up for it and worked super hard to make it happen!
First came coats of cheery paint to every surface. Ellie has decided to become a professional painter when she grows up. She loved every minute of it.
Even Jude was happy to help . . . for a few minutes.
So serious
Of course, we picked the back corner of our yard for our playhouse to live. It was quite an adventure moving it into place.
The moving crew
The cottage.
It is so cute and homey. Ellie has decided she wants to have sleepovers in it when she's older. Right now it's usually an "order-at-window" restaurant.
So the final total:
$50 for the playhouse, $30 for paint, plus hours of labor = the best play cottage I have ever seen!!

That is ADORABLE! Tell Ellie I would love to come by and place an order :).
