kids crooked houses
It’s like something straight out of a Warner Brothers cartoon, but these Crooked Houses are the real deal! Angled walls, crooked windows and a twisted roof are responsible for their fun-loving appearance; there isn’t a square cut in the entire house. I think it’s great that they’ll even theme the home to suit your child; grown-ups will appreciate that it assembles in less than 30 minutes with two adults.
Each house stands approximately 4×6 feet and 8 feet tall, making them bigger than a traditional playhouse but smaller than a full-sized shed. They’re handmade using traditional 2×4 construction with secure joinery and a solid pressure-treated base foundation; in short, they’ll handle anything kids can throw at them (which is a lot!).
Kids Crooked House’s concept was so unique that Yahoo! chose them from 9,000 other small businesses to be the recipients for a $100,000 marketing prize. There’s a nice video introduction (filmed by Yahoo!) available on their homepage; to see more fully-built examples, stop by their photo gallery!

Add a turret and it would be my dream playhouse! Where were these when I was growing up?

I love these crooked houses. With my carpentry skills I could probably have come up with the idea- accidently!:-)

[...] Everyone would love to live in a house based on their favourite cartoon such as the Flinstones house.. but it in all honesty that is a bit extreme. However thanks to Crooked House kids can live the dream of having their own house which looks like it has just be teleported straight out of a cartoon. There are various houses to choose from including some great themes, my favourite being the Castle theme. [via Cuteable] [...]
