I ordered these directions too, and ours was meant for Lorelei's Christmas gift but...eh...we waited a few days before Christmas to go pick up some of the contact paper that the original directions called for GEEZ! It was going to cost like 70 US Dollars! So, did you paint all of the white? And, was that with that emulsified paint you mentioned? What IS that stuff? I'm very interested in any alternatives to expensive contact paper for the covering of this whole set. YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB! I LOVE IT! (ps can you email me back at bosssanders@gmail.com? I would hate to miss your response :) )
Wonderful with a Capital W!
