Ana’s Hobbit House
“Hobbit house in Port Orchard WA at Brothers Greenhouse. Perfect example how to build a very nice and simply hobbit house where your kids can let their imagination soar and become architects at an early age. Cute, cozy, attractive and eye catchy even for parents. Needs less than 200sqft in the corner of your backyard but would mean a whole world to your kids. Even more. It would take them to some mysterious worlds where maybe even you would be invited from time to time. Maybe :)”
