Finally poor Parker got upgraded from sleeping in the hallway to a real bedroom.
I think he likes it.

The stained glass is mine, from when I was little. |
We kept the same green on the walls from when it was the girls' room, and just repainted the pink accent wall with chalkboard paint.

And the freshly painted chalkboard wall.
After the chalkboard paint cures for 24 hours (or maybe 2 or 3 if you don't read the label - oops.) you take a piece of chalk the long way and cover the whole wall with chalk, then lightly wipe it off, so it's kind of dusty.
Then you give the kiddos some chalk and let them go to town.
*Warning - if you have even slight amounts of OCD, or just like your rooms to be clean, I guess, then a chalkboard wall is not for you. One red balloon took an entire piece of chalk, and most of it was on the floor, not the wall.
It's still kind of empty and bare, but I'm not going to put too much stuff on the walls at this point, since I know that by next summer we'll be moving him into a real bed, so the all the furniture is going to change anyway. All I really care about at this point is the fact that he is finally sleeping through the night - thank god!!!

Hey Lynn, I can't remember if I thanked you for commenting on my tile in my bath. Wow, the days are flying by. Thanks so much. I am very thankful for it however, I would have been very thankful to also have someone else do it for me, ha! I love your new nursery. Wow, you are brave to have a whole chalk board wall. The kiddos must love you. Also, I can't believe how organized your pantry is. I don't even have any food in mine. That's the way we have been rolling around here. At least until we are settled into the new home. Too busy with projects. I can't wait for normalcy. Take Care! P.S....love the vintage Avon set in your shop! Johnnie
