The Perfect Playhouse
Tiny backyard bungalow has plenty of room for adventure
Kids love to create their own little world whenever they can. Leave any child alone with a sheet and two chairs for five minutes, and they’ll build their own Fortress of Solitude, far far away from the Land of Boring Grown-Ups. We know that kids thrive when given their own space; there was even a little boy named Max who became a king.
Play forts are fun, but when you’re looking for something a little more permanent than a cardboard box, check out Modern Cabana. They create pre-fabricated buildings using sustainable materials like bamboo flooring and recycled denim insulation.
Recently, they’ve begun offering the “Kiddo” model. Housed in a compact frame (48″ x 65″), the modern, sleek structure includes tons of natural light, a multi-paneled door, chalk paint interior walls, a fold down table, and even a paper roll art station.
Available for about the same price as that HDTV you’ve been eyeing, it’ll give your kids years of enjoyment, and it might even let you reclaim a little bit of your own home.
