I love this! I was given this exact playhouse last week. We are missing the tabletop as well. Your idea for the table bottom for the missing part next to the door was genius! We were missing that piece as well. We also had no assembly hardware that we were able to order online for $10. Sooo excited to get it completed. We’re making it a replica of our house! Love these makeovers!

Johna...what is your channel? Would love to see what you did 😊 I’ve been watching all the makeovers I can find trying to determine what I want to do with house I purchased on Marketplace for my granddaughter.

Hi! Do you have any tips on how to remove all the doors, the sink area, etc? I am having a hard time with mine.

Especially the bay window!!

Hey Jeanette ! It was definitely fun getting it a part :) the bay window ended up being hard to put BACK ON and we scraped some paint as we did that. Honestly it was a lot of yanking and prying with screw drivers / tools and there wasn’t an easy solution. I’m pretty sure my husband just kept yanking until something would pop out :):)

I see you’ve added doorknobs so the doors open with ease however I do not see any numbers how will I or your 2 year old child know which house it is have you seen all the playhouse makeovers? Kind of disappointed would not recommend to a friend. 🙁 sorry not sorry

Hi - I’m not sure I understand your comment . I did not add any door knobs. I repainted the existing ones that come with the house. I’m also not sure how doorknobs would confuse my child ?? It’s just for fun ! Thanks for watching
