  • We took a smallish closet in our granddaughter's bedroom and made it into a darling little playhouse!
  • We used paneling and plywood to build a facade where the closet doors were...
  • A cedar shingle roof and a bit of gingerbread trim added to the cute factor!
  • I drew this dutch door and The Husband made it...I was going for cottage but the girls called it a barn door and pretended the playhouse had farm animals inside!
  • We did a little built in stove and shelves inside the closet space!
  • The playhouse was a big hit with our tiny girls!
Thanks for looking around! Have a great day my friends xo

Indoor Closet Playhouse Number 1!

We've built two indoor closet playhouses in the past few years! I've already posted the playhouse in our new (old) house and I thought I'd post the first one we did. It's a completely ...»
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!

cutting the boards to size and using wood glue to fasten the boards together. You could use this mason jar storage anywhere in your home. I chose to use the storage in our bathroom, it works great for q-tips and cotton balls!

DIY Projects: I really want an outdoor sofa, but they are sooo expensive.

I would like to build my own, any ideas on how to get started. I bought some high back chair cushions that I really like. I want it to be tall enough to lean back into. We watch tv on our deck.

    Polly, I will be sure to post some photos of mine. I bought some gorgeous cushions at Kmart ...»
    for 160.00 dollars and the material for the sofa cost me about 80.00. My son, is a carpenter, and he is gonna start working on it for me next week. He just became a Dad a few months ago, so it may take a couple of weeks for him to get it done, then I have to paint it! So excited to finally be getting a start on it! Photos to come!

  • Keeping with our re-use and recycle theme for the party barn - we constructed this rustic outdoor kitchen for the barn pergola patio
  • We started by making the frame from  2 x 4′s – using treated lumber for the bottom
  • We added more of the old barn roof material for siding and trimmed it out to match barn
  • We used the same recycled materials to match the barn - in all -we had less than $100 in the outdoor kitchen area minus the grill of course :)
  • Rustic outdoor kitchen installed and in use.

Rustic Outdoor Summer Kitchen

(www.oldworldgardenfarms.com )When we first started to put down some initial designs on paper – one thing we didn't want was a typical brick, mortar or stone outdoor kitchen. We wanted ...»
something unique, and we wanted it to match the existing barn and reclaimed brick patio. Even more – we wanted to make it from the left over recycled barn materials we already had on hand. The only other requirement was to make sure we had enough counter space on each side to be able to easily prepare food straight from the garden to the grill.

We finally decided on a simple straight line island design. 14′ long, with a 48″ grill and burner slide-in space in the middle. Each side would then be flanked by 5 foot overhanging counters. We made the width of the counter 34″ to give extra surface room to prepare and serve foods. With limited time before a looming barn party– we opted for a simple wooden top for now to match the farm table – however- as future time allows – we really want to replace with some stained concrete countertops.

THE BUILDING PROCESS

We first built a simple 2 x 4 stud frame, leaving a 48″ space in the middle and front for the grill and burners to slide in. We used treated wood for the bottom to sit on the brick pad – and then built the rest from standard 2x lumber. Next -we encased the inside of the grill area with cement board to protect the structure from the heat of the grill. Then sided the entire structure with more of the left over corrugated roofing and trimmed it out to match the barn.

All that was left was to slide in the grill – attach the top and the outdoor kitchen project was complete!

    Mostly Glue and nails, I will use screws then hide it with trim, depending on the project?
