May I be immodest for a moment and show off dd's new playhouse....

[CantSleepWontSleep]

It's rather spectacular! .

I'll load up a few pics of the inside in a mo, as I know a few people want to have a nose.

It's from this company who make tonnes of amazing bespoke playhouses .

A special thanks to prufrock, who made us aware of this company.

CSWS Ive showed the house to DH and true to form he said in a wingy voice ' we should get one for DH'... not!!! night

..shown..

Flame...."You also wouldn't know about the wealth to meet her (does that make sense??) - I don't feel like the poor relation around her." Does that mean you think she looks like a total scuffbag???!!

Far be it from me to judge

Just came across this thread, although from 2007! CSWS, do all your children still enjoy playing with house. It is sooooooo wonderful, I'm very jealous, never mind the children!!!!

That is absolutely amazing!! What a lucky daughter you have!!

Eek! Youmay have paid under £5k in 2007, but it hasn't half shot up in price since then here

my dd makes do with the shed.

poor deprived child that she is

mamazon

Blimey.

Yes it would be interesting to see if the OP felt they got much use out of it... I'm going to PM her with a link to the thread :)

Thanks for the message chipping. Yes I'm still around.

Am pleased to report that the playhouse does get a lot of use, and now by my 3 children rather than just dd. Well, the 9 month old doesn't get a lot of use from it yet, but am sure he will soon enough . My entire back garden has been taken over by kids toys, but they spend a lot of time out there in the summer (and other seasons, but esp in summer obv).

We were aware of the higher price now 5inthebed, because we changed insurers recently and dh had to look it up. We were a bit ourselves (although obv those prices include VAT which is now of course at a higher rate), but it just confirms really that we were right to buy it when we did. If we'd waited til now we wouldn't have been able to readily afford it, down to both the increased price and personal circumstances.

Hope you've had the decorators in since it first arrived CSWS

It's a fantastic thing to be able to give your kids, great to hear that it's still getting plenty of use.

How's the kettle faring?

Hi CantSleep :) Love your photos! Any chance of some playhouse interior photos? I'm intrigued!! I can't believe how much it's gone up since you bought yours - I thought it was £££ when you bought it - now it's !

Wow, that is amazing. I would love that for my kids, but our garden although big is on a slope and can't afford it! .

I'm trying to persuade DH to build the kids a treehouse with a bridge to the higher part of the garden, but he's not having any of it.

at the price inflation!!!!!

Iwish - the kettle sadly died a horrible and premature death! We bought one recommended by Which? afterwards, which is faring much better.

I've added 3 interior pics to my profile for a bit for the nosey.

I love the pink floor :)

Your DC are beautiful, I love your DDs christening photo.

Fuck me that's bigger than my house

Gorgeous though! And no one can deny vfm I'm sure, especially based on current prices!

Lol at the kettle

Are the playhouse walls really not painted/papered?

Nosey? Nosey? - I prefer to think of it as interested in my fellow human beings and their fun toys

Wow, you could rent it out for people to go there on holiday if you need a bit of spare cash... I'll book in now
