I recently (finally) put some finishing touches on Jude's bedroom.
(Even though he's slept in there for almost 2 years.)
His room was a "spare room" for the previous homeowners, but more specifically was the pretend classroom for their daughter. We used it as a playroom when we first moved into the house.
We thought about keeping the chalkboard wall, but all of the chalk dust accumulated on the baseboards and I didn't like how messy it was for a bedroom.
We washed the chalkboard wall and dried it, then primed over that wall. Then I painted the room when I was 8 months pregnant (needless to say, I don't recommend that unless you have a personal masseuse).
Now a very happy 4 year-old calls this room his own!

Very cute! Love the idea of the chalkboard wall for a playroom, but I can totally see why you painted over it. What a fun space!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! I'm planning on redecorating my boys' bedrooms soon and was considering a chalkboard wall in one of them... maybe it isn't such a great idea.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up at I Gotta Create! <3 Christina
Looks very nice. Clean and neat. Was thinking about doing chalkboards paint with frames around them to create instant artwork, but now I'm rethinking on account of your chalk dust issue. You may have a very good point.
ReplyDeleteVery cute room - perfect for a little guy!
