Fairy Tale Snow White Playhouse DIY

“Hello my name is Richard from Bedford. I had always wanted to build my kids a play house in the garden and always wanted it to be Disney inspired. But I could never find anything I liked, that I would buy as most kids playhouses just look like a small wooden shed.

So I decided I would build my own. We were going to Disneyland Paris so I just paid attention to what the building looked like and how they were finished.

I made it as big as I could to fit the garden space we had and also wanted it to have usuable swings and a slide.

I had a vision in my head of what it would look like and what I wanted, like the stain glass windows and the flowers going over the roof and the hand cut wooden roof tiles.

I started to build it from the floor up.

I also wanted it to have a textured look of a wattle and daub house so I had to find a paint that had that finish as I didn’t want to just paint the ply wood white.

I also cut grooves into the wooden beams to give it that old wooden beam effect that Disney buildings seem to have.

I worked on it for 2 weeks straight to get it as water tight as I could, then rest of the work was done over weekends and at evening times.

Once it was finished the kids play in it all the time and they call it the Snow White play House.”
