With the extra stone weight, the chance of it blowing away in a high wind is reduced. Here in sw Florida, I've seen trampolines, playhouses, outdoor furniture go flying in the neighbors yard!
Great point!!!
Anniefanny Charles I live in SW Florida as well 🖐🏽 also the amount of rain and sun would damage the playhouse faster but it’s really cute ❤️
Omg me too!
Liz Smith ME TOO NO WAY
it’s so hot in naples
When someone tells you you’re overqualified for a job...this is what they mean 🤣💀. Love it!
Amber McFadden Hahahahha totally
Who else wishes you had a playhouse that amazing when you were little?
I had one of those little Barbie jeeps! LOL
SaraSmile4ever me tooo
Who else wishes there mom would do that for them
Me!
CourageousChloe I Had A Way Better One As A Kid
How much is rent for this place? Asking for a friend.
River Miles I laughed a bit too hard at this 😂
River Miles I actually would like to live in there if it wasn’t so small lol
River Miles lmao 😂
who cares same
That look so cool!! I love it💖💗💖💗😘😘
Always remove the painters tape while the paint is still wet. This prevents paint from leaching under the tape and also from pulling paint off when dry.
The woman's probably not doing this for the first time!
Huh? I never knew that. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the tip!
kiliipower That may be so, but she didn’t do what the person suggested. Which is how it’s supposed to be done.
@@kiliipower355 I think she mentioned that this was her first time doing a creative project 🤗 and just to add to the original persons comment; yes it's TRUE to take off tape when wet but take it from someone who used to take forever when first learning to spray paint, and growing in experience in diy projects, (or simply because I wasnt in a rush and enjoying the process) I quickly learned that you dont always get back to it in time to pull off tape, as paint dries faster than we realize. And if you were streaky and need a 2nd coat for touch ups or fuller coverage, its tricky to wait until 1st coat dries an hour, re spry, THEN quickly remove, by then the first coat is already stuck.
Just remove carefully and with a scraper/ruler/something to help you along. Sorry for long rant if anyone is still here jesus loves you 😅

I couldn’t get to it either.
Me either. 🙁
me either
DITTO
I bought one of these tonight off Facebook Marketplace for $20. I can’t wait to update it for my daughter!
Maya Bailey That’s amazing! I hope she likes it
Is there anyway i can see it when it is done?
pink n yellow would be such a pretty playhouse for a little girl
How did it turn out?😁
Good luck!
"You cannot play in my house.💅🏾"
- Me at 7 years old. 😂😂😂
LOL!
Bwaahahaha - I'd have made people sign a waiver if that'd been mine..lol
Bruh🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
"You cannot play in my house"
- Me at 27 years old 😅😂😂😂
You sounded like a right brat
Im just gonna make a cat mansion out of one of these and fill parts of the inside and out with cardboard for scratching
That is a great idea!!
Skyler Rutherford THATS GENUS THANKS FOR THE IDEA
@@WildGlowVidz you're welcome
Cool idea!!!
XD honestly same nice idea
But does it have an open floor plan with a double vanity master bath and new backsplash?
😂😂😂
Lol
Yesh
😂🙄 lol
😂
Hi CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING you are such inspiration ☺
I’m a diy enthusiast and this is amazing, When I’m out and about at yard sales , I won’t walk pass these toy houses, My 👶🏼 would love this
Please do not follow anything she did on this house. None of her work will stand up. She did everything wrong.
@@maisondumewcustomdollsbyte127 What do you mean?
I was watching this video through the thumbnail, but then you laid down the rocks and I went absolutely ballistic and had to click in, “this woman is truly what they call an artist! The extra mile had been gone and then some! THIS CRAFTSMANSHIP! Fantastic.” Was all I could think.
I was doing the same thing but I clicked in when I saw her taping the bricks. I knew then this would be epic.
Wow you really don't know any real artists.
@@junedaisy707 I know right?!😄 She did the darn thing! 😘 Heeey!
I thought those stones were about to look ridiculous but BOY was I wrong. Grouting it was perfect! It turned out wonderfully.
No one:
Literally no one:
Not a single soul:
UA-cam Recommended: Wanna watch someone fix a playhouse?
Edit: thanks for the likes!
Yep
Omg same😂
we meet again
She said pimp out trick out
Me: sure I guess
All I can say is WOW! Congrats on the win, you definitely deserved it.
You are the winner as far as I'm concerned! I love this! I would totally put this inside my home, arrange indoor plants etc. in it, and create an enchanted focal point! I loved your description: freakin' cobblestones!!🤣 LOL and commend you on all your videos. You are sooo talented! 👍🐰😊
I wish she didn't feel the need to keep justifying her choices by saying how boring she thinks the others will be. Just own your choices because they are yours...
Agreed
Yesss!
being confident is a great thing but you dont need to put others down to lift yourself higher! take your cobblestone and go!!
It's really the fact that she kept mentioning it...more than once...it became a "thing". Not a fan of that passive-aggressive thing...not. at. all.
Roy Burchfield definitely agree! The black and white comments were so unnecessary when she chose gray and white for most of the house! Still did a great job nonetheless
A lot of DIY videos show you how to make wonderful supplies into garbage. You took a mediocre playhouse and turned it into a favorite childhood memory. Awesome job.
OMG! I'm seeing this in May...You slayed it! Wow! What detail, the colors, the out of the box beauty. There's not 1 little girl that wouldn't want this. What an imagination!! You won in my eyes. 🏆🏆🏆
When using painters tape you need to remove it while the paint is still wet otherwise it will chip and rip.
I have no words for this.. This is Beyond Amazing!!!
Awww....thank you! I really appreciate it! It was such a fun project!
this house is actual goals. please explain why i would give up my house to live in this cute little one 💕
I was so inspired by my project that I am going to build a shed this summer and use this tiny playhouse as a design inspiration! 🤩
Oh good! Immediately thought this needs to go big time!
Congratulations on winning and thank you on behalf of all women and children in need of assistance for donating your prize money. Loved this play house and wish I’d found this video in time to have voted for you, but thankfully for your local shelter, enough others did.
Binge-watching these Thrift Diving videos during quarantine in 2020. It's kind of hard to tear yourself away from watching what this superwoman can do with ordinary stuff lol. Lucky child who gets this playhouse.
I just got my 1 year old baby one of these old playhouses from a friend.. I can't wait to get started!!😎😎😎😎😎😎🙏🙏🙏♥♥♥♥
I love all the projects on this channel:)
You teach us so much girl! Thankyou 😊😊😊♥
Looks awesome, maybe you could add a wreath and some window boxes with some fake flowers
My thoughts too 🥰💭
Wow! This is such an incredible upgrade! Thanks for showing up how!
I'm a child care provider and this is Awesomeness!!!
Thank you for being one of the first people to actually not post the end result in the thumbnail and ruining the video
You're welcome!! :) I have learned over the years that, you're right, it's a big spoiler. Plus, I include lots of tips and stuff in the video, so by putting the reveal at the end, people are more likely to watch the helpful other stuff. :)
Thank you for such a great upcycle idea. This woukd be great idea if you were passing your childs playhouse onto a younger cousin or friend.
Great job! A handy hint for removing tape. If you use an Xxacto knife and cut the paint at the edge of the tape, it will come of without removing the paint. It seems slow at first but you can quickly get the hand of it. 😊
Oh darn, I should have thought of that! I've done that before! :) Thanks for the reminder, Angie!
You can also remove the tape while the paint is still wet.
True, but only if you do only one coat.
Painters tip on plastic! If you take the tape off before it dries it wont peel off ☺
this is absolutely beautiful.
Honey you did that!!! I hope you won!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Omg i wish i could have seen everyone else’s house! But you did great, it’s beautiful!
Plus she did everything wrong that you could possibly do.
Wow that is so amazing, if I have children I am so giving it a go, that looks super cool
Wow!! Your creativity is just amazing. God bless you 🙏
Thank you!!!
This is GORGEOUS!!!
I absolutely love this house and I love the way your mind works!!! Awesome job! You should be very happy with the end result!
So amazing!!!! I totally love this. This is my type of arts and crafts.
Congrats on your win! You did a fabulous job updating the play house.
WOWSA !!! What a gorgeous makeover -- it's 4/7/19 so I couldn't vote, but so glad you won !!! I see these at the thrift stores all the time -- they're faded, but still sturdy -- and cheap -- plus you recycle -- the 3rs of my name stand for: reduce, ruse, recycle -- love love love everything about this project -- congrats and very well done !! Patricia
Thank you so much, Patricia!!!
I love the fact that your talking, and it’s not some dumb cheesy music playing.
Yaaassss! I despise music in videos now. I used to use music years ago but I realized I should just let my projects and description speak for themselves.:)
Ohmygosh!!! It’s beautiful! Not only perfect for a playhouse but now you have given me a great idea for a cute way to conceal a litter box. I just have to find a smaller frame house. Great work! I really hope you won!
Oh wow, that is a great idea! And yes, I won! 😁
Plastic has to be prepped before you paint it, and you have to use paint designed for it. The paint will last maybe a month before it flakes off.
Deb Carsey Did you even listen to what she said in the video? You are what she calls a "nay-sayer". Smh
This turned out amazing. Now that's how you do a doll house. Will be voting for your🤗🤗🤗😍😍😎😎😎
I like it! It’s so cute. I could never be this creative. Some people really have a mind for art. Wow👏🏻
Awww, thank you!
THAT IS SOOOO COOL!! Never seen anything like that before. What a way to save that little house. A child would love it.
That is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Wow! I would never have thought of the stone facade, but that makes it about 1000x better!
Ma'am you did pimp out that house I love the colors you picked , stone ect . girl love it so beautiful modern really look like a real up to date house you did a awesome DIY believe me everybody that looks at your video minds are clicking about remodeling they kids playhouse y, 💞👍
Congratulations on winning! Amazing work.
Congratulations on winning! JW Wichita Kansas USA 🇺🇸
This is a great idea! Makes me wanna go back to the thrift store and buy that playhouse I saw myself 😄
Sis, no matter what project you share, the results are always amazing!!! great job! 💖👍💗
This was SO well done! It came out amazing! I hope you won!!
It’s amazing! Love the cobblestone idea!
stunning and very inspiring. congratulations on winning!
Holy smokes!,,, that’s absolutely gorgeous!,,, wow !,, 👍👍👍🏠🏡
Wow, well done. I love when someone updates something that can be used again. Beautiful.💖
It really looks AMAZING, but daaaammmmmnn that’s just soooo extra ! Props for having the patience! 😬🤷🏻♀️
You could use white latex caulking instead of the grout. Lighter weight and flexible
There is flexible grout. It's used in RVs.
What's the name of the flexible grout? I was looking for some before beginning this project but the one I know of costs a bunch of money and I didn't want to put that kind of money into this playhouse. But I would love to know the name of another flexible grout so I can recommend it to people who would like to try this project. Thanks, Linda!
@@ThriftDiving SnapStone
@@CraftyLadyLinda Yep, that's the brand I used for my SnapStone flooring in my laundry room. It is $90 a bucket though. That's the only reason I skipped it! Lol
What a beautiful thing to do for someone you love.💕
Grandkid approves and want nana to make one for her! You will be the winner ❤️
Hola
What a great job on this playhouse. Love the stones, very pretty and creative.
WOW...u did great...love what u did with the stones....
Looks so much better now!! Like a million times better!! So cute!❤❤❤
HOLY MOLY ROCKY!.. OMGOSH!! CUTEST PLAY HOUSE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!! YOU DESERVE THE WIN!!
Thanks, Cindy!! It was super fun doing this project!!
That has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen,I see lots of these for sale second hand and are always faded from the sun but what a brilliant idea to transform it xx
I wish I could buy this off of you♥️♥️♥️ it's gorgeous!!!
Thanks, Jennifer! Someone made a good comment that Little Tikes should create a replica of this! I agree! The colors make me happy!
💰Little Tykes would sell like crazy, you get total design credit & big bucks!
Serena!!! This is amazing!!! you absolutely have my vote!!!
....and she is able to keep a beautiful French manicure during the entire thing. Good job.
You sure did ROCK IT! I always over do my DIYs too it’s okay. Crafty women have the best minds !!
That was so totally awesome! Great job! I hope you won.
beautiful job and i love the colors you choosed i might start getting creative on the one i have sitting in the yard for a while😂❤
Well if you do do Not follow what she did. She has done everything wrong. I can not imagine this POS winning
Wow you've done an stunning job !!!!👏👏👏👏💛🧡❤💙💜
WOW! I love it! It truly looks amazing. This gave me an idea to cover our plain looking landscape timbers that outline my garden instead of just painting them. Thanks!
That looks amazing!!
This is amazing!
I just found this channel and i absolutley love it!❤❤❤❤❤
Yay! Glad you found me!!
Mix pva into your grout so it doesnt crack.
Ahhhh....what's PVA? I'll have to Google that!
@@ThriftDiving its the white glue. Not school glue. More like wood glue. You can buy it per galon or per 250g bottles. Pattex is a brand that has it. But dont know what you got there stateside.
Oml that looks sooo good❤️
Really cute...I envy the little girl who plays here! Awesome job!
Beautiful. My Babies would Love it. Your a Winner in my book.
Anyone else getting anxiety over her spray paint technique
When people are talking smack about her talking smack 😆
Thanks for this video. I just got my Daughter one (second hand) and I’m definitely doing this DIY Saturday!!!
Nice!! You might want to lightly rough it up with sandpaper and then use a separate primer. I didn’t because it would have cost me more money out of pocket, but it will help with making sure it doesn’t chip, especially once kids get their hands on it. :) Hope you have fun!
I have no idea why this was recommended to me but you did such a great job!
Same lol
Same here. I tried both links given, but still get the same error message. Good job as always. Sure wish I could have voted for you.
Thanks, Shabre! Hoping they get the site fixed tomorrow. I can't believe it won't allow more than a few people on the site at one time!
Hi Shabre! It looks like the site it up now!! :) Thank you so much!
@@ThriftDiving Thank you for the heads up!! Placed my vote good luck sweetie🤗🥰🙏
I just found this channel and the first thing that came to mind was *"YO macklemore, wanna go thrift shopping?"*
*watches on the night of the 4th but not all the way*
*comes back to finish it on the 16th* :P
😂😂😂 Glad you came back!!
Same!
Love that shes trying to reuse some of the plastic wrap & tape and not be wasteful.
Thank you! Because that WAS a lot of plastic and tape! Lol. I also used some of the stones that I had bought from a salvage shop over a year ago! I was happy to finally find a use for them!
😍💜🙌💙😍💜🙌💙 I'm so glad that you won! I voted for you 💜💜💜💜💜
That looks fantastic! Did you win, cuz I don’t know if anyone else could top that!
Love it so much 😅😅
Can you design my house? Like fr😂
Whoa that's a very modern doll house. Great job. 🤩🤩🤩
I thought your house looked amazing, very creative! I could never have created something so cute (that's why I watch videos instead of posting them).
Congratulations on winning! And bless you for donating the prize money to a homeless shelter.
Thank you so much!!
Omg this is amazing! Unfortunately the page to vote won't load 😔
Sorry about that, their website keeps crashing but I think it's working today!
