 Classic Craftsman style Bungalow located in Orange County CA. Were else would you find such a fine design of the Craftsman style bungalow? Craftsmanship and quality was most important for these owners. The owners wanted a replica but also wanted to change a few amenities to make this playhome unique for they're girls. The exterior architecture consists of simulated slate roof with copper ridge, stone chimney, Hardy Board siding and gable ends. Five operational windows with grids and screens. A custom bay window. Classic Craftsman Dutch entry door with antique oil rubbed bronze acorn door knocker door handle and mail slot. The rafter tails and porch ridge beam are also important factors in replicating a Classic Craftsman style. The porch has stone pillars, slate floor, entry brass light fixture. Exterior colors are from the classic collection. Replications on the exterior consist of the slate roof, rafter tails, windows, window trim, entry door, porch pillars, porch ridge beam, slate porch and light fixture. The interior of this classic Craftsman style playhome is all craftsmanship, quality, detail and luxury. The interior is fully insulated for keeping the inside cooled in warm climates and warm in cold climates. Notice all the classic white wood waines coating on the walls and classic white hand crafted trim around all the windows, floor, and door. The owner's chose a mahogany hard wood floor. Instead of two rooms in this playhome the owner chose a 3' foot wall with a pass through arched window trimmed in the classic craftsman millwork. This window is quite popular with the little ones and used most commonly to serve up the main dish or to play fast food. The arched window serves as a puppet show stage or ticket counter. Make believe and imagination is endless with a Custom Playhouse. The bay window has a beautiful hand crafted window seat with custom covered cushions and storage compartments to stow away all treasures. Above the entry door is a large storage area with 2 matching doors. All the millwork is milled in our studio and applied by our master craftsman. Endless tea parties are a must with Gwen and Claire on the custom designed oak round pedestal table stained in a mahogany stain to match the mahogany hardwood floors. This table will serve a space for arts and crafts as well. In May these little girls will be making mayday baskets and delivering them around the neighborhood. How fun!  Notice the detail on all the millwork, trim, cabinetry, flooring. No other playhouse builder puts as much detail and quality into building a playhome. At Custom Playhouses our clients get what they pay for and more. Our master craftsman pay attention to detail and quality in all our products. This luxury replica built for Claire and Gwen will spend hours and hours playing dress up in this custom designed and crafted mission style dress up mirror and a place to practice those dance routines, finished in mahogany fi9nish to match the oak pedestal table and mahogany floors. The dress up mirror was mom's idea and we replicated this mirror from a mirror in the main house. One thing that our clients enjoy is decorating the playhomes for the holiday season. Including the electrical package in the finishing of the playhouses allows for holiday lights. Interior Christmas decor makes this playhome a place to celebrate the season. A landscape architect was chosen to design the finish landscaping around this luxury playhome to complete this clients beautiful backyard. A Custom Playhouse compliments any back yard.

Testimonial

I have to say on the one hand I was a little sad to see the project come to a close. It was enjoyable working with you. 2000 miles from California to Minnesota seemed like a chasm that could get in the way of the house being built just the way we wanted it; yet that distance disappeared as we talked so often and covered so much detail that when the house arrived it was just as nicely finished as we had hoped for.
