We Like It Bright!

"Having kids changes everything."  You hear it the whole time you're expecting, or even if you tell people that you're considering starting your family.  And if you're a parent you know just how true this is.  Having children doesn't just change how your life is, they also change who you are.  Four little tiny people turned who we were into something completely different.  We went from loving conservative, classy, deep, rich styles and colors to... well, take a good look at our website!  That's us, heart and soul.

A Man With Inspiration


The BIG Playhouse

We've been building playhouses and other fun things for about four years now, and we're pretty sure that this kind of business is just about as fun as it gets!  Ask Joshua what he "does", and you'll start an animated conversation with a man who LOVES building playhouses.  He is a big kid at heart.

The Recess Play Fort

But really all of this started with our kids. 


Joshua is a dad, first and foremost.  We often joke that our kids are his hobby, but that's really true in a lot of ways.  Every free moment he has is spent with them.  Loud, crazy pirate swordfights, animated games of Uno or Rat-a-Tat Cat, reading heavily-exaggerated storybooks with many "creative" additions to make the kids laugh are all common occurances in our house. 


So naturally Joshua was interested having backyard play structures that would accommodate and inspire our kids... as well as their parents!  It never occurred to us to buy a playhouse because Joshua builds real houses.  And he can build anything.

So he started designing and never stopped!

 
A lot of things have happened since that first sketch.  Our little playhouse business has grown steadily right along with our children.  They've continued to inspire our ideas and designs, and sometimes even draw their own now.   It's been a fun journey so far, and we're excited about the future!
