The Basic Bungalow by Miss Pretty Pretty.

The playhouses created by Etsy shop owner Miss Pretty Pretty aren't simply the most amazing playhouses ever created — they're freakin' perfect. In fact, I'm considering breaking my lease and setting up a homestead in one of these if we can all fit inside. I mean, seriously, $100 for a eco-friendly playhouse? I'm sold.

Miss Pretty Pretty also offers insanely adorable tents, such as this flowered Clothes Line Tent (complete with cut-outs in the center of the flowers, which are perfect for photo ops!). Each of the playhouses are handmade (using eco-friendly felt created from 100% post-consumer plastic bottles) and personalized, and designed to last. They're perfect for encouraging imaginative play for children of all ages — including moms and dads! Need a nap space all your own, or even a place to just be? Hop into the playhouse and chill for a while.

But you know the BEST part? If you're inspired but more of a DIY type, Miss Pretty Pretty provides the blueprints for her playhouses — so you can muster up your creative skills and make your own dang house.

And wait until you see some of these playhouses — LIBRARY playhouse, anyone?
