Chris

Hello! I’m Chris Axling, the man behind Magical Playhouses. From the first email you send until the day I pull away from your newly transformed yard, I’m your guy. You can read all about how I came to be a playhouse builder here.

Sarah

Sarah is Magical Playhouses’ most important member, because while I'm out in the workshop carving dragon heads or at a job site, she’s doing double time, keeping an eye on our kids while working for our local Jefferson Land Trust. On top of all that, she's the talent behind all my stained glass.

Grant

Grant is a whirlwind. I don’t know any other way to explain him. From the moment he gets up, until he collapses at night, he a Verb incarnate. So he’s my unofficial product tester while your playhouse is under construction. And when its delivery day, he’s the one who begs me to keep it.

Josephine

Josephine is my most honest critic on children's playhouses. I take her seriously, because hey, she's 10 now. Practically an adult. She’s grown up around all these playhouses, so chances are, if she lights up when she sees something I've added to a playhouse, your child will too. If I show her something, and she frowns and says, "That's silly," it's probably my inner adult taking too much control over the artistic process.
