Venture into a garden fairy-tale with the Gnome Home Playhouse Plan, an astonishingly whimsical structure reminiscent of a magical tiny dwelling built by a gnome with time to spare. Every wall curves and swoops, windows tilt at playful angles, and a crooked stovepipe adds character. With 100+ square feet of interior space, it delivers a fairy-tale setting loaded with creative energy. It includes an interior loft with slide exit and even supports a 12-foot swing-set attachment for extra outdoor fun.
This playhouse is perfect for families or spaces seeking joyful novelty and garden whimsy. Designed for children aged three to ten it features nine window openings including two glass shed octagonal windows for bright interior light. The plan includes a 65 page PDF guide to walk you through all the creative cuts needed. It may take a bit more effort than standard designs but the result is a dreamy, quirky playhouse that becomes the talk of the town.
