A Grown-Up's Playhouse in Houston

Who uses it: Tamara Harbert
Location: Houston
Size: 144 square feet (13 square meters)
Year built: 2008
What happens in here: Hobbies and reading
That's interesting: This was originally built to be a playhouse for the children, but now it's Mom's territory.

Tamara Harbert's husband, Stuart, built this playhouse for their children seven years ago, but now that they've outgrown it, she's taken it over. "I enjoy having a place for my hobbies or just sitting and reading," she says.

The windows are salvaged and swing out; the brick on the covered patio is salvaged as well. The charming outdoor area is another wonderful place to be on a nice day.

Inside, floral accents continue the garden-inspired look. No need to worry about the Texas heat out here. "Since we live in Houston, he also included a ceiling fan and an air conditioner," Harbert says.
