This is by far the biggest little craft project of all time for our family. Measuring in at a little more than 600 square feet this funky monkey cabin is also known as our future home. We've owned it for some time, about six years or so, and haven't lived in it yet (no heating, no insulation, a few missing walls, and only some electricity). That's how slow we are at getting projects finished. It took this long for my husband, who works six days a week, to realize that he can't do all the work himself. So, we're actually getting my brother-in-law to paint it. Yippee! A little progress is good for morale, and you need morale when you've been living at your mom's house for four years! I thought this project tied in nicely with Vicki at Turkey Feather's Finish What You Have idea. The photos, from top to bottom, are: a before picture, a work-in-progress, and a Photoshop simulation of what we think we want it to look like.
