What a cute playhouse! I remember a house made out of a box for a ward Halloween party. We had a lot of fun playing in that cardboard house.

Ok, the contact paper is amazing! The house looks amazing! It's good to have something for the kids to do inside the 3 days out of the year you can't play outside!!
