Progress on the Playhouse

 

 

Do you recall me telling you about working on redoing the girls' playhouse into a storage/craft space for me?

 

Well, this is our back yard with my Coca Cola container and our fifty+ foot Pine tree.  We planted that tree from a sapling given to us.  (That gives you some idea of how old I am).

 

Anyway, this is the back yard with the playhouse we are working on.

 

 

The playhouse door was painted in a ME design and we had wooden steps that have long since rotted away.

 

Notice the attractive pallets for steps!

 

 

That was all removed and work started.

 

 

TA-DAH!!  A new porch and a new coat of paint on the door.  Love that color.  We are going to put a roof over the porch and trim on the sides and also another step.

 

The Oklahoma weather has not cooperated with us the last week or so.

 

 

I went to HD and got 12" concrete squares for stepping stones.  Can you see my color palette now?

 

Cool blues and greens.

 

 

I've never really wanted a pond, but always wanted a Koi fish.  So, I just painted me one on the stepping stone.  I'm not finished yet, still have some detail to do on it, but it will suffice for a Koi.

 

 

We are putting a short picket fence in front of the bush by the porch and it will have birdhouses on it. 

 

So, this is to give you a glimpse of where we are going.  Hopefully, we will be finished soon and then can start cleaning out the playhouse which is crammed to the top!

 

Enjoy!

 

Till next time, Judy
