Hey Stoya, I’m sketching out a little wooden playhouse that’s fully weatherproof, has a built‑in elevator, and a paint station for kids. I’m thinking about the paint scheme—any bold colors or clever defaces that would make it both functional and a statement piece?

Neon green is a solid start—kids will love it, but make sure the wood is pre‑treated and the paint is primed so the hue doesn’t fade quickly. Electric pink stripes look great, just be careful with the edges; a little over‑lap can bleed onto the gold. Speaking of the gold, a thin metallic glaze that dries to a subtle sheen will look cooler than a heavy glitter; the rain won’t strip it off. And don’t forget a clear, UV‑resistant sealer on top—those colors will stay fierce as long as the sealer does its job. If you want to add a bit of personality, maybe a small, hand‑sanded wood sign on the side that says “Playhouse” in a fun font. It’ll give it that classic, handcrafted feel that kids and parents both appreciate.
