Pink playhouse prompts lawsuit

A lawsuit filed over a pink playhouse has a Georgia woman seeing red.

Becky Rogers-Peck, of Evans, built the playhouse for her 4-year-old granddaughter for Christmas.

But the property owners association, which enforces covenants in her subdivision, recently filed a lawsuit against Rogers-Peck because she wouldn't repaint it a "color more appropriate to the home," according to a report in the Columbia County News-Times.

Rogers-Peck didn’t get permission from the association before she built what it considers an outbuilding. She calls it a piece of play equiment.

The color is not “keeping in tradition with the neighborhood,” attorney Wright McLeod, who represents the Millshaven Property Owners Association, told the newspaper. “She’s left us no choice other than going through Superior Court or ignore the violation. … We just need her to repaint.”

Rogers-Peck has refused. She said her granddaughter loves the pink playhouse.

“I told them I was not going to repaint it,” Rogers-Peck said. “It was foolish. It was not an outbuilding. It was a piece of play equipment.”
