Playhouse Revival, The Clean Out

Winter is over, which for Minnesota in April all that really means is the snow is melted and Spring yard work can start.

Last year that wasn't possible till the middle of May, so I do feel a bit ahead of the game this spring.

Outdoor messes have to be cleaned up before tackling any other projects, because you know the saying - gotta make hay when the sun shines.  Or something like that.

Bliss-Ranch.com Play House Project Speaking of hay....these long packages arrived by my mudroom door last week.

They will be going inside the play-house-turned-potting-shed-turning-back-into-playhouse.

Clementine and Clyde.  Or is it Clyde and Clementine?  I don't know, they both quack and crap.

But first the shed-house (notice I cleaned up my noun there) needs to be sanitized from 10 years of neglect and storing winter hay for the crapping quackers.

Upon seeing that beautiful interior sight, the conversation with a certain 4 year old went like this;

Me, all excited:  "Come see the playhouse all cleaned out, won't this be fun to play with your kitchen in?".

Underwhelmed 4 year old:  "oh".

She did ask me if I was going to sweep it.  (More than that darling, more than that!)  

I told her it will be getting some new curtains to match her play kitchen.

But I'm not so sure she has confidence in my window curtain ability right now.

This is what is hanging in the breakfast nook....

My version of decorating with canning jars.

Why?

At dinner - with no leaves yet on the trees - the sun shines directly in my eyes.

Thanks to my husband the evening sun is not a problem right now.

  7. Hah, there's a spot in our living room window where the sun glares into Mike's eyes for like 15 minutes every 5th day or so. It really irritates him and he thinks I should have curtains there. Now I know what to do. Who knew Brawn was a decorating genius? The play house? It is going to be incredible I'm sure.

  8. Am I the only one who can't read the font you use? The script is WAY tiny. Barbara

    1. My font is set at 16 and it is block style not a script. Are you viewing it on a mobile device like an iPad? If so after it loads, refresh your browser, that might help.
