Play House Makeover: Fixer Upper Mini Edition

Here's a bit of a throw back post!

A few years ago, when my son was just about to turn 1, our neighbor dropped of a Little Tikes playhouse that his grandkids had outgrown.


So... Like I do with just about anything, I decided to give it a little makeover!



I scrubbed it up and used Rustoleum spray paint to paint the door, shutters, and roof.

I also spray painted an old door mat dark blue and put that out front of the door.



Just wasn't feeling the bright orange. Thankfully a little spray paint does the trick.



On the back side I spray painted the orange "fire place" with a dark brown textured spray paint to make it feel a bit more like brick.



I found the cute little fencing pieces at Dollar Tree.



And of course I had to add some "decor" with a garage sale watering can and side-of-the-road free shepherd's hook. The tiny hanging basket is also from Dollar Tree.


And here's my little love enjoying it! 

When he was this little he mostly just wanted to open and close the door.
Now he and his sister use it to "cook". It also makes a great place to store balls and other outdoor toys.




Hope you're having a great spring and getting lots of little outdoor projects done!


Thanks for stopping by.



Blessings,
