playroom wall

19 July 2010

I wanted to plan the playroom around this map:

I used this clearance poster frame from Target and spray painted it red:

Now, this was supposed to be my “cute” wall because I had these sconces from Home Depot installed to be on either side of the map when the electrician was here. This is the wall to your left as you come down the stairs.

So, it’s not the cute wall I had envisioned, and it’s kind of helter skelter and off balance, but it works for us~
Happy Tuesday!
