I'm done....done with a lot of things actually...read into it as you desire, I know you will!
The biggest project and the most beneficial for me is the one that comes to mind right away!

 HERE IT IS!!


Well, minus curtains, a kitchen for inside and the cute little door that I envision yet, but it's busy season in this house.



Ok, so we know I live in South Dakota, we know what happens here...I started this in march, so the majority...ok 99.9% of it was built in my kitchen. It's open, the slider isn't used in the winter and there's no good spot for a table, but there was a nice big open area calling out for a playhouse. Yes, this mom is a serious over achiever! It was built without much more than lifting and "how's it feel...smooth enough?" during the sanding. I'm unbelievably proud of this one....would build another one if the price was right to do so....and not change much. Ok, so honestly I'd probably sell this one cause I WILL NOT do another closet, that thing was a logistical nightmare...building, sanding...painting...assembling...everything! 



 And with 2 walls up Syd has already moved in....and was told that she had to be super careful, it was only clamped together...she played in it like this for a good week while I assembled more walls and waited for more wood. 


 Mostly complete, and taking up more of the kitchen every second


And the most time consuming part of the entire process...Literally! The painting! 

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me, I'll do my best to answer! 
It's taller than the plans at http://ana-white.com that I referenced for a few parts, just so I knew my oldest darling would get more than a years use out of it...the railings are taller too, it's completely 1x6 boards up the front.   Thanks to Ana and the PB kids catalog for inspiration, and a lot of imagination and making decisions as I went!

Hello! You did a wonderful job. It so nice to read someone's experience with building a project before I begin it. Could you tell me how you did the stairs? Thank you.

I'm wondering what your total width of the bed is? (including stairs)I'm trying to decide if I have room to do stairs or just a ladder! Thanks for the inspiration!
