So, here's the cost breakdown (rounded)
Exterior
Paint $74.00
Plants/Potting Soil: $66.00
Planters $25.00
Trellis $12.00
Furniture $28.00
Mulch: Free
Total Cost (Exterior ONLY) = $205.00
Interior
Primer $50.00
Exterior Paint $52.00
Deck Stain FREE (previously on hand)
Curtain Rods $3.00
Furniture: Free-(previously owned)
Accessories: Free-(previously owned)
Total Cost (Interior ONLY)= $105.00
Total Cost of BOTH Exterior + Interior =$310.00
One of the reasons it's taking us so long to update our lovely home is that we are slowly saving for all repairs and paying in cash (or check as is usually the case). Since we were already over budget by $10.00, we decided that the extra little touches like trim mouldings (or gingerbread), hooks and mailbox could just wait. The kids don't miss them, so why should I. Rest assured, as soon as we update the playhouse, I'll provide a new after picture.
Exterior Cost $205.00. Interior Cost $105.00. Years of fun and play for the kids, priceless.

Oh my goodness!! This looks amazing. I would have loved this as a kid heck, I love it now. The great thing about waiting for the detail items until you can afford them is not only financial, it also gives you the chance to scope out Salvage and Habitat restore type places. I think the budget is low for how great it looks.
