Burke and I wanted to get the girls a playhouse for the yard and after a long search I decided that building one would be the most economic and special. I found several ideas on-line and Burke helped me create a plan for our own Castle Tower playhouse. It is 8' tall, 5' wide and has two levels. Burke did a wonderful job cutting the wood and building the octagonal frames that support the walls and the second story floor. It has a trap door and a ladder. The Sister Missionaries and my Seminary students helped me paint and sponge the stone walls and I added the detail work on the wood door and climbing roses. I am planning on doing more roses on the front of the castle when I get home from UT. As you can see the girls love their castle. We finished it in time for Susanna's 2nd birthday so it made a great present. Amazingly we completed the entire project for under $100.

That is SO great! I love it. Wow, Burke is very handy. Isn't it so nice to have someone around that house that can do such great projects. Can't wait to see you on Wednesday.
What a fun playhouse! I can't believe it was under $100. I need your plans so I can make my hubby make one. He he! Oh, and I didn't know you were so artistic. The door and roses look great!
great job. Looks like super fun!!! What lucky girls.
SO COOL! I always wanted a playhouse growing up, a castle would have made me feel like a princess, what great parents you are!
Wow, that is amazing! I can only imagine that your girls are in heaven. I would have died for something like that when I was little. So neat!
What an awesome playhouse! You win the award for Super Mom.
