"The Tiffany" is one of the more popular styles at Uncle Greg's Playhouses Par Excellence, but Uncle Greg Cheadle and his design team can build playhouses that have never existed in reality – only in the client's dreams. Based in Oakland, this company travels all over the country doing backyard installations of their little houses, which all feature interior pine siding and exterior tongue and groove redwood siding.

"THE TIFFANY",
by designer/builder Gregory Cheadle, was featured in the September, 2002, issue of COAST with the following article & photos.

The cabins come with optional lofts, flowerboxes, interior electricity, a porch swing, and a stone chimney with a propane fireplace.

Barbara Butler's playhouses — sturdily built with amenities kids will love like hiding places, escape doors, carvings, and climbing opportunities– have been purchased by everyone from Robert Redford to Will Smith. Shown here is the Malibu Lighthouse, with rope ladder and fireman's pole. Other designs include castles, Robin Hood's fort and the Cape Codder Deluxe with a bridge that connects to a separate tower.

La Petite maison's philosophy is to create soothing, sophisticated environments on a kid's scale. Some of the grand miniatures actually have two stories and one bedroom. Most are equipped with electricity and running water. Shown here is the living room of their latest creation, complete with fireplace and the company's own furniture brand, The Lollypop Tree.
