Well, we're getting closer to finishing the cubbyhouse! We have put the final coat on the cubbyhouse which was a bit of a circus at the start. We went to the local hardware store and found the paint we wanted, "Medium Texture" by Dulux. When painted on, it gives a rendered finish, perfect! We were then told we needed a "medium texture" roller to roll it on with. Mind you this roller came with a $30 price tag and that was just the 'cover'. We were then told we needed to trowel it and then wipe it with a wet towel afterwards. So with the paint and gold plated roller in hand and the info fresh in our minds we came home to get started. First roll with the gold plated roller and we both nearly dropped to the floor, it made it all patchy and the spots it rolled on resembled something similar to Hershey Kisses! No wonder you need to trowel it to get the effect. So I promptly threw down the roller, picked up the paint brush and painted the whole thing with that! It. Looks. Awesome!!!!

Here is the latest photo of the kids play area, which is finally coming together!

So now The Man just needs to finish the rails on the verandah, the inside walls and the windows! So hopefully it will all be done by the end of this week and then the fun can begin!!!

I am off to try my hand at crocheting again! I failed miserably the other night, this could be a long process!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
