April 21, 2017
Whether you're a consummate crafter or a child at heart, there's no denying the appeal of this epic backyard clubhouse. For Ali and Hana, the backyard hideaway provides space for both of their children, Mateja and Mila, to follow their passions, whether it be tap dancing, drumming or violin (with no concern for noise complaints!). Brian McCourt and Sarah Keenleyside, the geniuses behind this clubhouse, even managed to squeeze in an area for Mom and Dad to enjoy!

Centre Stage

5/10Considering how talented Mateja is, it was only natural that Brian and Sarah crafted a stage for him to drum on. We love how they cut patterns into coloured soundproofing boards to help quiet down the space, all while allowing plenty of natural light to flow through via the "garage band" inspired wall.Backyard BuildsKids' Clubhouse With Rainbow Pencil Crayon Wall is the Stuff of Childhood DreamsCentre Stage

Stocking Up

9/10Every good DJ needs to keep up his or her energy, which is why there's plenty of extra space for snacks and drinks. Anything that saves another trip inside is a win according to us. What we love most though is how Sarah was able to repurpose this old piece of furniture with a little stain and some TLC.Backyard BuildsKids' Clubhouse With Rainbow Pencil Crayon Wall is the Stuff of Childhood DreamsStocking Up

An Outdoor Oasis

10/10This deck area is a space the whole family can enjoy whenever they want to soak in some sun. The wire framed chairs are just as funky and creative as the furniture and decor within the clubhouse, while the wood wall adds instant charm and privacy. The end result is a beautiful and functional space that the kids will love for years to come as the adults retreat into the much quieter household.Backyard BuildsKids' Clubhouse With Rainbow Pencil Crayon Wall is the Stuff of Childhood DreamsAn Outdoor Oasis
