The Cottage That Started on a Ladder

Rose Cottage is a two-story Victorian playhouse: porch columns and a balcony outside, a play kitchen and arched windows inside, roses climbing the lattice all the way up. We built it for our daughter Elisabeth Rose — and then we measured, modeled, and engineered every board of it so you can build it too.

Now it's a complete plan set. Every joint is intentionally designed and carefully verified, board by board — the same cottage we built, worked out cut by cut so the parts still fit each other when it's your hands on the saw.

Finishing touches are yours to add — like an antique doorbell by the door.

Decorate it your way — wallpaper, a mirror, a 'Home Sweet Home.'
Inside Rose Cottage — room for a play kitchen on the marble-look floor
Room inside for a play kitchen, sized for little chefs.

What You Get

Not a photo and a wish. A complete plan set — every board, every cut, every step.

One task per card

Every step is a single card: the parts it uses, the cut it makes, one diagram. You follow the card in front of you — never the whole build at once.

A diagram for every step

Each step has its own 3D diagram showing exactly what goes where and which way it faces. No squinting at one master blueprint.

A cut plan that saves plywood

Every part is packed onto the fewest sheets and laid out cut by cut, with the usable offcuts labeled. You head to the saw with a map.

The whole shopping list, totaled

Sheet goods, lumber, hardware, and finish — every item added up before you leave for the store. One trip, no surprises at the register.

Print-ready, licensed to you

A print-ready PDF licensed to your email, plus the same plan as a web page for the shop tablet. Print it, mark it up, get sawdust on it.

Designed to be followed

Every step is sequenced, labeled, and checked board by board — designed to be the easiest plan you've ever built from, whether it's your first build or your fiftieth.
