We just found an amazing deal on craigslist for a playhouse for 20 bucks! P loves it but I wanna spruce it up since it sits.in our living room. I was thinking spray painting it? Maybe dark brown with bright red roof and doors/windows. Any other ideas. Here's the pic. Anything else I can do to it?

I don't mind the colors, so much but there are tons of marks on it when you get up close (not pictured) so its kinda driving me nuts. lol.

@stargal: That's cute... Two thoughts, how does painting it hold up to wear and tear? I would hate to do all the work and then have the paint not hold up to all the toddler playing going on. I thought about painting a little tikes swing we have, but found mixed reviews on how painting held up and just skipped it. Also, have you tried a magic eraser to get marks off? My mom found a little tikes kitchen to have at her house and used a magic eraser to clean the marks and it worked amazingly!
Anyway, it is super cute though, I am sure it gets tons of use

Young House Love did a Little Tykes basketball hoop and had some tips on how to make spray paint work better. I figure since it's the same material, it may help.
