Hey guys! 
So I actually stopped just talking about starting Dora’s Loft and got to work today!
The manufacturing date on this one was in 2020, so made quite awhile ago!
The first step of this build was a bit of painting, which I usually find quite the slog, but I got some new tools that I was pretty excited to try out today!
So, basically just paint, paint pens, and a little pallet/water tub/brush holder thing.
These are the pieces I had to paint, most of it was edge work. Now, these paint pens everyone has been talking about…. My lord do they make painting edges not terrible. It was so easy, and clean, and fast! This was after one coat of white marker:
Which I think is pretty darn good, I instantly went and ordered just a whole pack of white markers because that’s what I find I paint with the most. So thanks guys for influencing me to get markers! 
I still used normal paint for the fronts and backs, just used the markers for the edges.
I also had to do some more engraving in this one, so that was.. okay. lol
And this was when I was done all my painting, for now… There’s some more painting but it’s like all wire furniture after your done building it… lol
Finally to end my day of crafting I finished with the first two pieces of furniture, a big shelf, and the little pink chair:
Overall, I’m pretty excited to work on this build, it definitely looks like it’s going to have a lot of challenges, but so far it is going well. I go back to work tomorrow for 4 days so I don’t expect to get much building done.
I hope everyone had a great weekend, and thanks again friends for reading my post! 
They’re so beautiful in my eyes. Thanks for the white marker idea. I never knew that. 
It’s all looking really good! 
I have a feeling that I’ll be building this for awhile.
