As I have mentioned previously, we are renovating the downstairs guest room into a playroom for the girl's. Partly because it's a way to use the space and partly because I am so sick of toys everywhere...anyway, the painting has begun! Thanks to Starya for planting the idea in my noggin, the girl's now have a 4' X 10 ' blackboard painted directly on the wall.
Next comes taping off stripes so that we can paint the rest of the room!
Then we will attach 2 metal soap trays to the wall to hold chalk, 1 at either end.
I ordered some Disney Princess valances off ebay to hang above the windows, they should be here in a few days.
Tomorrow a subdivision near us is having their annual collective yard sale and I am hoping to score some shelves for books and maybe a few more bins for toys.
Then we'll move in the dollhouses, their table and chairs, and toy boxes and it should look great!
Here is a before pic and a pic of the blackboard:
