The humble cubby house has had a makeover of late.
Just take a look at Kris Jenner’s Christmas present to her granddaughter, Stormi Webster, for example. In typical Kardashian fashion, the one-year-old got a life-size, two-story playhouse complete with air conditioning, balcony and cubby house for a mini kid’s convertible.
For something more on our level, Kmart’s $199 Wooden Cubby House has attracted the interest of keen DIY-ers everywhere. Parents are sharing photos of their Kmart cubby house hacks and they are nothing short of incredible.
For another excellent Kmart hack, Melissa Leong shares her excellent $56 Kmart DIY worm farm hack. Post continues below.
Just take this marvellous creation Perth mum, Cassie Dalglish (Instagram @cassiedalglish), made for her eight-year-old son, Noah. Speaking to Mamamia, she shared exactly how she turned the cubby into a “modern farmhouse” with a shade awning and a fruit stand at the back.
“It’s amazing how much a different coat of paint can change the whole aspect of what it looks like,” she says. “The fruit stand on the back of the cubby was a very last minute decision as I felt the cubby was a little bare but needed something and I just wasn’t sure what.”

Every one of these cubbies is fancier than my actual house. 😆 A thought for anyone thinking about a cubby for their kids - friends of ours had a cubby that was a bit bigger in terms of floorspace, but more importantly, had plenty of head room. It meant that when the kids were older and past the 'playing house' stage, they still used it as kind of a teen hangout space. Something to think about if you've got the space (and a bit of extra cash).
All these kiddie cubby houses are styled and posed by adults for the viewing benefit (and envy??) of other adults. Similar to pancake grazing boards, the kids themselves don't care whether their cubby is worthy of a Pinterest slide show. Stop being so weird, parents.
I think they all look really cool how does it affect your life how they are styled or whether or not the kids care? You need to smile more and take enjoy life
I smile and enjoy life, and at the same time think this kind of thing is pretty pathetic.
Sure, but you'll soon change your mind when you find out they have an inbuilt griddle for pancakes as well
