My new favorite room

Carl has out-done himself yet again! He has literally been up to 3:00 or so in the morning several nights in a row to pull this one off. He started on Saturday afternoon after John's birthday party and then by the next Thursday, it was complete and John was able to "open" it for his birthday. John was not allowed in the room during transformation, so he was super excited to see it.

The first picture is the "before" shot. Carl stripped the texture off the red wall and made it into a chalkboard, and the checkered wall is a super strong magnetic wall now. It is SO COOL!

The last picture is of the playdate group we had over here today, they broke the room in well!

Beautiful, artsy and so, so clever! You will love that magnetic wall for all his creations. What a great idea. You guys are great parents.
