We kept the windows square. Our Jigsaw is broken, so we also skipped the heart cutouts. We have a boy and a girl, so we chose a beach house theme. I'm a total beginner builder, and my husband helped me at night after the kids were in bed. It took us about 6 weeks. We used shakes to build the roof. They are pretty affordable from Home Depot. 1x6 boards were considerably more expensive, so we substituted 1x4s.

Well done!
LOVE the beach theme! We have a little boy now, and I have thought about altering our sweet pea version so it's a little more neutral for a little boy. You did a great job, and I love the cedar shakes. They look great!
