The complete plan set · $49

The Peterson Grocer playhouse — a yellow two-story storefront with three arched windows, window boxes, a blue-striped awning, a register counter, and an open pantry
The storefront: arched windows, window boxes, a striped awning — and the register counter inside.

The Biggest Build in the Village

The Peterson Grocer is a two-story storefront: a grocery counter with a working register window downstairs, an apartment with dormers upstairs, and a slide for customers in a hurry. Newspaper wallpaper, a station clock, shutters with heart cutouts — the details are the point.

Like every Peterson Plans build, it went up in our house first. Then the full design was measured, modeled, and engineered — over two hundred parts, every one accounted for on the cut sheets — into a complete plan set you can build from.

What You Get

Not a photo and a wish. A complete plan set — every board, every cut, every step.

One task per card

Every step is a single card: the parts it uses, the cut it makes, one diagram. You follow the card in front of you — never the whole build at once.

A diagram for every step

Each step has its own 3D diagram showing exactly what goes where and which way it faces. No squinting at one master blueprint.

A cut plan that saves plywood

Every part is packed onto the fewest sheets and laid out cut by cut, with the usable offcuts labeled. You head to the saw with a map.

The whole shopping list, totaled

Sheet goods, lumber, hardware, and finish — every item added up before you leave for the store. One trip, no surprises at the register.

Print-ready, licensed to you

A print-ready PDF licensed to your email, plus the same plan as a web page for the shop tablet. Print it, mark it up, get sawdust on it.

Designed to be followed

Every step is sequenced, labeled, and checked board by board — designed to be the easiest plan you've ever built from, whether it's your first build or your fiftieth.
