The Playhouse

As you can see Papa and Grandpa put a lot of muscle in this playhouse! My part was easy :)

We were able to use some windows Papa found in the ally for the skylights and we used all left over paint I had collected over the years with my mural work. Some of our neighbors had some given us some used 2x4's from a commercial shoot.  The chandelier was bought at Ikea for $20 and after a few additions thanks to Grandma we have an amazing center piece! Even though we saved by using some recycled materials we might have been better off buying a pre-fabricated house....but what fun is that!!!!! A labor of love and worth every minute of it to see Macy and Remy's faces light up the closer we get to being finished.

Great job Papa and thanks Pops for all your hard work...the first few days of construction Pops had a really, really bad cold but it didn't slow him down. You rock Pops!!!!


Stay tuned for more updates and just a little side note about the doors. See the picture of Remy with her hand on the door...well that was minutes after she had pulled the whole door frame down. Papa is not sure exactly how she did it but knowing Remy she was probably swinging/hanging off it :) Papa made sure that door is never going anywhere again!!!
