Wendy houses or playhouses for children of the super rich
Lilliput Play Homes,
based in Finleyville, Pennsylvania, sell 30 signature playhouses including
the top-of-the-range Grand Victorian playhouse [above] which costs $19,999
(about £12,900). They ship the homes all over the world to parents eager to
give their kids a taste of the real world in miniature. All of the
playhouses have lavish interiors with accessories and furniture - and some
even have working electricity for air conditioning should the kids get too
hot.
"We had one customer who had made their money in trucking who ordered an
entire 'main street' for their child down in Florida which set them back
$100,000 (£65,000)" said owner Steve Chernicky. "That was a
one-off, but was a significant order."
"Our starting prices for a standard luxury wendy house is around £3,800. But,
if families want a custom playhouse and they order more than one, their bill
starts at £39,000 each," said Steve. Above: Children play at the Cotton
Candy Manor which costs $9,599 (about £6,140).
The company has a burgeoning list of customers from the UK. "A large part
of our business is international sales," said Steve. "On larger
projects, we will fly out a supervisor from our company to help assemble
these playhouses overseas." Above: A boy plays outside the Five Alarm
Firehouse which costs $4,699 (about £3,000)
The Red Apple School House which costs $5,299 (about £3,400)
