with the wood sleeve. This took me around an hour start to finish and I love it! If you don't have scrap wood laying around, the cost of wood is still under $8. You can see the full tutorial at http://www.shanty-2-chic.com/2013/04/scrap-w...

the sky! I must have been a happy child...because I would sing up a storm while swinging! Check out how to make a backyard swing , for endless hours of making memories on something so simple..it is those Simple Pleasures that makes a heart sing!

HOW IT'S MADE: Cut a piece of rebar the height of your tower plus 12 to 18 inches. Drill offset holes just larger than your rebar in your buckets near the sides. Drill a hole in the center of the bottom tub. Pound a piece of rebar in the ground and thread your buckets over it balancing the buckets on the edges. Be sure and pound the rebar in far enough to hide it with the top bucket and plants. You can pond it in a bit more once your buckets are placed. Place a terra cotta pot upside down in the tub for the bottom bucket to rest on so it doesn't sink into the soil in the tub. Fill the bottoms of each bucket with peanut packing for drainage and to make them lighter. Plant with wave petunias, asparagus fern, vinca and other trailing plants. Watering tip: Water slowly so the soil doesn't wash out of the tilted buckets so your soil doesn't wash out.

We had to install and tape the cement board. That was fairly easy. Measure and cut with a utility knife, tape, and screw on.

We arranged the tile on the floor to plan the pattern. I lined up the pattern with the bead-board plank wall.

We started in the corner because of the window.

We rented a wet-saw from Home Depot, but we waited until we had to make the cuts, so we only had to rent it for one day. The saw worked well, but not on small cuts; tiles shattered. So we then purchase da ten dollar tile cutter for the smallest pieces.

Tip 1!!!! The mastix has to be white when one installs glass tile otherwise its true color won't show.

Tip 2!!! A big sponge and a large bucket is great for washing off the grout.

Once the grout has dried for a couple of days, seal it. The water will bead on the tile and it will stay nice for a long time! Reseal every six months or when you notice that the water is no longer beading.

heavily distressed look on the baseboard before adding the clear insulators. I'm liking the finished product!

different design because the closet was smaller! If you're worried about creating a problem when you sell your house: When we moved we simply took apart the facade and removed the inside elements of the playhouse...put back the closet doors and put up a hanging rod. Waa Laa! Back to a normal closet!
