ABOUT ME 😃:
I am 31 years old and originally from Chicago. I attended the University of Iowa and lived in Iowa for several years before moving to Charleston, SC with my husband. We had our daughter in October of 2018 and her arrival finally inspired me to get going on the youtube channel I had always wanted. In 2020 we experienced secondary infertility and luckily with the help of an RE we were able to get pregnant with our son, due November, 2021. Don't be afraid to say hello in the comments!
Much Love, Caitlin

DIY Playhouse Makeover 2020 || Step 2 Playhouse || Frump to Glam
I had SO MUCH FUN taking this old playhouse and giving it a total playhouse makeover. This Step2 Playhouse retails for $600 and I was able to purchase it, paint it, and add accessories for less than half the price. These DIY makeovers can definitely be time consuming but are completely worth it in the end when you have the coolest makeover on the block in your own backyard. I hope this helps anyone in starting off with their playhouse makeover- feel free to drop a question below!
Much Love, Caitlin

Did you take off the doors and shutters? If so, how? We’ve tried and can’t seem to do it 🤦🏻♀️
We did and it was TOUGH ! Truly no tricks for you, my husband just yanked and pulled until it finally happened . Best of luck !!
@@thatcaitlinS thank you!
Love the makeover. I picked up this exact house on Marketplace and I’m working on it now, but how in the heck did you remove the door, shutters, bay window, etc? I am struuuuuuggling. I’ve looked all over for videos of someone actually removing them and can’t find any.
It took forever !! Honestly my husband just ripped it a part and it took a very long time to get it separated - there was no magic trick unfortunately 😮
I am trying to refurbish this exact playhouse from when my daughter was a toddler for a new member of our family. HOW did you get the door and the shutters off? We have tried everything. We are clearly doing something wrong.
I wish I had a better answer but yanking until our fingers felt like they were going to fall off 🫠🫠
How did the paint hold up over time?
How has the paint held up over time?
How has the paint held up?
The side not facing the sun was perfect after several years ! The white areas facing the sun definitely saw some use after 2 summers . The black roof held up great !
Great Job!
Beautiful
Hello. What sealant did you use? I painted a step2 desk for my daughter and the spray paint just chips off so easily
I just used rustoleam to seal it all in ! The area facing the sun chipped after a year or so but the side not facing the sun and the roof actually held up really well even a few years later ! Hope this helps
This looks like it was a ton of work but it was definitely worth it!! It turned out beautifully! ❤
Thank you !!!!
Thank you so much for this!! Answered all my questions!
Hi! I am about to do this as well and I am wondering how it held up for you through the years? Where there any chips or cracking in the paint?
The black areas and pink areas looked fantastic 3 years later . The white side that faced the rising sun definitely showed some wear by the second summer but the side where the sun set looked great !
How long did it last
The side without the sun lasted 3 years !! The side with the sun showed wear just after a year ! The black stayed perfectly in place and it was just the white facing the sun that didn’t last
@thatcaitlinS dang I guess I can't do it. My yard has nothing but sun. Thanks I was going g to do the plastic playscape I have
The cozy coupe car is so awesome my daughter used to use it all the time and it was one of my favorite toys to play with it is so cute to play with outside😂😅🎉
How is it doing 2 years later???
The side not facing the sun looked brand new and held up great ! The black roof turned out wonderful on both sides . The white / pink facing the sun definitely had some signs of use and I wish I would have down a sealant coat every 6 ish months to help with that !
I am trying to paint a little tykes house for my son, I've used oil based primer made for plastic, krylon fusion paint and nothign sticks even after days in the sun. I don't know why it won't stick.
You did such a good job! Can you do an update video for us bowing how it’s held up? Curious to know how it lasts. Thank you!!
Thank you !! We are moving in a few months and I actually sold the playhouse and made a nice profit off it after all these years ;) . Update - the side facing the sun had damage but the opposite side looked great ! I wish I did a sealant coat or two every year to help so that’s the only thing I would truly change !
Love the video! I’m doing my own makeover, and I can’t get the door off! How did you do it ?
SO MUCH TUGGING !! It took quite a bit of time and honestly eventually we just ripped it off . Wish I had a better answer !
@@thatcaitlinS I’m afraid I’ll break it 😅 and then we won’t have a door lol
@@TVGuild also felt that way and figured we would have to risk it because otherwise it was not coming off 😂😂 good luck !!
It’s so beautiful seeing the two of you working together on this
Awww thank you so much !! 💜💜
Wowwww! You should feel proud of yourself everyday! What a great job y’all did!
Thank you so so much ! 💜💜
This is so cute Your baby is so cute too They grow up fast mine is 16 now where did the time go
Do you have any links for the replacement parts? I can’t find this play house on the little tikes website ??
Hi Chelsie! It is actually a "step 2" playhouse not little tykes but I did just go to the step 2 website and I don't see it at all! Wondering if maybe it was discontinued ;(
Okay, That you for looking! I can’t find anything for it lol
It would be awesome to film sn update on how it's holding up!
I’ve been considering this !! Just for fun though I’ll note it here - the part where the sun hit held up for 1.5 years before I started noticing issues of the white peeling off. The black has held up everywhere just fine. The side of the house where the sun didn’t hit is holding up great !
@@thatcaitlinSthank you for the update!
How the heck do I get it apart
Literally ripping and tearing until it popped off ! Took A LOT of time
@@thatcaitlinS ok! Didn’t know if it required tools haha, will just use force
@@GDBOYFilms best of luck 😂
You could of just bought 2.5 gallons of pool bleach and water put 50/50 mix in a pump sprayer.No pressure cleaner. Let it sit in direct sunlight and let it dwell for 30 minutes the hose it down with water. It will melt all the dirt, grime, and algae like butter. And a new looking playground
Could have and thanks for the suggestions for others ! What I did was easy enough ;) thanks for watching !!
We just got this same house for free! Someone set it out for the trash we cleaned it up. It is missing part of the roof. Doesn't have the phone. Also the sun roof. I looked on the step 2 website and they don't have this house on there any more. Thank you for the inspiration!
I also noticed that !! Our door got broken by a kid in our neighborhood and I’m not sure how to fix it now 😁 . But that’s awesome you found it for free !!
Gorgeous! May I ask how the spray paint has held up a year later?
Thank you Andrea ! In the areas with normal sunlight everything looks great - almost perfect now at 2 years out. The area with direct humidity and sunlight ( we live in South Carolina ) - that area needs lots of work ! I love the white but it is all chipped on the far right side from the sun. White is harder to do touch ups so in hindsight I would still do it as I did it originally but with a darker color on the outside!
Any suggestions on where to purchase a replacement doorbell that chimes ?
I was able to get mine right off the step 2 website - the one that goes directly with the house ! So I would try there :)
Love love love
How weather proof is this?
Zero issues with rain or wind ! The one side that faced the sun definitely had some peeling by the end of the second summer but only the white parts and not the black roof !
How did you get the doors and shutters off? I have a kitchen set I want to refinish for my daughter, but I can't figure out how to take the doors off to save my life.
Oh it was rough ! My husband literally had to rip them off and it took SEVERAL tries ! We didn’t use anything except a lot of force 😂
Wow 🤩 excellent 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much for taking the time to record this beautiful House 🏡 great job I try to do it
Thank you Imelda !!!!!! 💜
Any suggestions how to deconstruct/take apart this playhouse? To resell?
Very difficult to get to the windows off ! Putting them back together was difficult as well and made for lots of paint touch ups. Wish I had a better way of doing it but for us it was a lot of ripping apart 😁
Hi hun what pressure washer do you have?
Hi Helen ! I had the greenworks pro pressure washer - hope that helps :)
I see you’ve added doorknobs so the doors open with ease however I do not see any numbers how will I or your 2 year old child know which house it is have you seen all the playhouse makeovers? Kind of disappointed would not recommend to a friend. 🙁 sorry not sorry
Hi - I’m not sure I understand your comment . I did not add any door knobs. I repainted the existing ones that come with the house. I’m also not sure how doorknobs would confuse my child ?? It’s just for fun ! Thanks for watching
Buen video.. Alguien sabrá si venden el grifo de esa casita? Y el domo? Gcs saludos desde mty nl
Buen video Venden algunos accesorios por separado?
All accessories were purchased on Amazon or a random website . I don’t personally sell anything :)
Does spray paints safe for the kids?
I wouldn’t do it for an inside project but since it was outside we were comfortable with it :)
@@thatcaitlinS oh bcoz im planning to restore my daughtrs play house but i am, if the chemical will stay on the surface..
@@thatcaitlinS i mean the dried ones. is it safe ? does chemical dont stay on the surface after dried up?
@@Jofiljamez_05 I’m not sure - sorry !! :)
Has anyone done this where they keep the items inside the house? I have a playhouse where I like to keep it inside for rainy day and wondering if there’s a crazy intense smell (obviously after it drys completely like two days)
Trying it with a playhouse I bought
thankyou so much for answering ill have to check out hobby lobby soon my daughter loves flowers and its coming along I did see your comment on the windows and its so hard i just spray painted on them and by being careful as well i had to use a different pink because there was not sweet pea here sad about that I used hot pink hope it comes out the same as yours I suck at painting!! the struggles we do for our babies and their happiness!! done a small house this home is def big i hope it fits in my living room lol
I'm sorry another quick question did you do the other side of the windows black as well?
But yes so true !! The things we do for them 😂😂 . I’m sure it’s going to turn out great ! I painted the window shutters separately and did both sides the same color so yes both are black ! :)
Do you have a link to the doorbell?
Doorbell comes with the house ! I did have to go on the STEP2 website and order a new one that is designed to go with it due to water damage though so you can easily purchase one there :)
@@thatcaitlinS :) i don't have that model but figured it could work with the one i have. We'll see 🤞🏼
Omg I’d so do this for a living; The spiders I can handle, the dead frogs I cannot.
The frogs were definitely fun 😂
@@thatcaitlinS How did you manage to scrape them off? I don’t want to touch them lol
How much total spray paint (12 oz. cans) did you end up using? We are trying to figure out how much it would cost us in paint.
The paint can usage is in the description section ! Good luck with your project :)
How has the paint stood up 1 year later?
Most areas are almost perfect ! The side where the sun hits has done a little “ peeling damage “ with the white paint but not the black. I suggest doing a top sealant coat if the sun will be in contact with anything, but all in all pretty good !!
The house is so adorable and so is your daughter! Great job!!!
Thank you Diane !!!!!!
Super cute! Hard work pays off!
Thank you 💜💜
