Your children might not be old enough to be out by themselves and have a place to call their own, but they can have the next best thing with this indoor cottage playhouse! Inspired by the movie "Up", the plan takes the timelessness and whimsical characteristics of the beloved animated home and turns it into a DIY project you can build.
Covering approximately 115ft² between it's lower enclosed level and upper loft portion, children will have plenty of space for playing or sleeping without taking up too much floor space. Ten windows allows for plentiful interior light and additional interaction between the kids inside and the parents out, while the trim work and other details add to the suspension of disbelief.
For an outdoor playhouse similar in design and spirit, check out our Abigail's Getaway or our luxury Victorian Mansion plans. Balloons not included.
