The Columbia Children's Museum

AMuse'um is a cute little children's museum tucked away in Columbia, Tennessee.  We were really excited and honored when they asked us to build several whimsical structures for their facility!  We sketched several ideas, and these were the ones finally decided upon!



These building are a city façade and include a Doctor's Office, Veterinary Hospital, and Children's Hospital.


There is also a barn playhouse...



It was so much fun to see them come to life!






The Barn Playhouse


Joshua also built all that cute fencing and some nest boxes for the chickens inside the barn!



Several months later they requested the addition of an open courthouse playhouse resembling the city courthouse in Columbia.



The side and back of the courthouse are a bank with walk-up and drive-through teller windows.






"Thank you to all the folks at Imagine THAT! for all of your imagination and dedication! We couldn't be happier with the result!  Photos just can't show how amazing this structure looks in person! Another wonderful creation - many thanks!"

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

These clubhouses are really amazing things to see!  The first one Joshua built resided in our own backyard for some time, and I have to admit that I spent several minutes every day just looking out the window at it in amazement.  He and I also spent a fair amount of time sitting up in it ourselves and playing with the kids on it.  So we were really excited to get an order for a girly version of it!

The Sweet Extreme Clubhouse

The colors are soft and sweet, and it has so many features for activity and creativity for little girls.  The Sweet Extreme Clubhouse is a two story playhouse.  The bottom can be a Toy Garage, as shown here, or a regular playhouse.

 
 

It has Flower Boxes...

 
 
Two side platforms - one with a slide and one with a ladder and Rock Climbing Wall...


And an Attached Swing Beam...



While The Sweet Extreme Clubhouse is amazing all by itself, this order also included The Complete Fun Package!  (Some options have changed a bit since this was built.)

 





 
 
It seriously does not get much cuter than this!  Unless you're looking at the happy little first-time home owners! 
 
 
 
"Imagine THAT! has far exceeded our expectations! We asked for a girly version of the Extreme Clubhouse with the Toy Garage. WOW, did they ever deliver! This playhouse has it ALL, flower boxes, chalkboard walls, magnetic walls, table, shelves, mailbox...we are in for some summer fun!! We are so thankful we chose Imagine THAT! Playhouses & More...!"

The Woodland Treehouse

Not everyone is lucky enough to have the perfect tree for a tree house in their backyard, so sometimes improvising is necessary!  The Woodland Treehouse was a custom order that was intended to blend harmoniously into a wooded backyard.

The simple design and natural colors make this set perfect for any setting (and agreeable to most HOAs), while still promoting creativity and active play.
 




 
 
 
"We, and especially the boys, LOVE it!!!"

The "Dr. Suess Colors" Playhouse

These custom colors were intended to simulate the feeling you get when you open the pages of a Dr. Seuss book.  They came together perfectly and WE LOVE IT!!!!

The BIG Residence Playhouse


Christmas playhouses don't usually have the advantage of a lush green backdrop, but this playhouse stands on its own feet for color!  As you can see, the sun isn't always cooperative, either, but we take what we can get!

This playhouse is The BIG Residence Playhouse with an Attached Swing Beam and Slide Platform.  It was ordered with The Complete Fun Package, which includes...

A mailbox and working doorbell...

 
 
Personalized chalkboards...
 
 
 
A cupboard...
 
                                  
 
 
And a stow-away table...
 

 
 
But the most fun feature was a new one that Joshua threw in! 
 
A Secret Passage!!!
 
 
 
 



 
 
We LOVE new features!  Anything that makes a playhouse more amazing and fun for kids is exciting to us, and we love offering it to future playhouse owners!
 
 
"When my wife and I sat down to talk about Christmas, we decided that our kids didn't need another game system or electronic device - they needed something that would let them have fun while playing outside and being active. From the first time I talked to Joshua, I knew we had found the perfect solution. What we didn't know, however, was how amazing the playhouse was going to be. The website simply doesn't do it justice, and my kids have never been happier. We are completely blown away, and you will be too. Thanks Joshua!"
