A place of their own.

This is my first  project that I will be taking on.  I want my kids to have their own space, and  we moved and the guy who owned the property before us, really thought out this house. There is something for everyone here. I haven't decided what I really want to do with this yet. I have an idea, but I am not sure if I am dead set on it. I thought about painting the exterior white and then making it look like it was brick, so with dark red paint . I am also thinking white for the trim.  I think  it has really good potential. I don't want it to be to cute either , I would like it to be neutral between my son and daughter. I had thoughts of lining the wood, the counter top and side, with shelving paper. But now I am thinking it may loose, its little charm. I am thinking or repainting the inside a light yellow. I also have to get the paint off the door window, and I am in the process of making curtains.  I also am thinking  of what to do about the fence, and all the dirt.  Also the dogs get in there and chew up their toys, the dogs have about ten ways to get in, so I have to figure something out for that too. Do you have any ideas?
