Spooky Playhouse Reveal

Our playhouse has been so much fun to makeover and its such a focal point in our backyard that I thought it would be fun to style it for Halloween for the kids! I find that redoing spaces like this renews their interest in them, too – win, win!

I made the doorbell, inspired by Melissa of A Magical Mess. The pumpkins have all been painted and decorated by me, and the printables were from Olive & Eve Co. The sign over the door is by my talented friend Karen over at Urban Playground Designs. We have had this for a couple of years and it works in so many places! The giant spiders are from eBay (hard to find, but Amazon has a few similar options). I found the hay bale at Michaels – they have them every year, and most of the rest of the accessories are from Dollarama.

We had all of these items already – I repainted/decorated many of the pumpkins I already had, but nothing here was purchased for this. I just had to drag it all outside and set it up! Most of this can’t stay outdoors permanently but I am happy to bring out those things when they feel like playing “witches’ café” of whatever they decide to imagine!

I hope you love what we’ve done!

      Hi! We used dry ice from a smoothie box order and added hot water. Don’t touch it! And we also put a stainless steel bowl inside the plastic one to be safe ❤️

    Love the playhouse…so creative. Where did you get the cute white picket fence?

      Hi! I found the picket fence at the dollar store but to be honest its pretty cheap and I would prefer to find one at Home Depot or a garden centre 🙂
