Turning A Closet Into A Playhouse. Closet Playhouse Idea.

What happens here

To complete the finished look of the playhouse, install trim around both the slide and ladder openings. The video shows dark-colored trim framing these openings, creating a window-like effect. Cut the trim pieces to fit precisely around the openings, using a miter saw for clean corner joints. Secure the trim with finishing nails, fill any nail holes with wood putty, and then paint the trim to match the desired aesthetic, as seen in the video.

Goal: Apply decorative trim and paint to finish the exterior appearance of the playhouse openings.
