How it usually looks. My closet ain’t so Berenstein-Bearish anymore, is it? august 2010 022 1
I have just been gathering chairs at yard sales and painting them to go with my $20 yard sale table. I left the laminate top on the table because it cleans up so nicely (thank you to my wonderful readers for the suggestion!)…I cannot tell you how much this table gets used for legos, playing school, coloring, building forts, crafts, etc. If you have to choose one piece of furniture in your playroom, I would go with a table.september 2010 073 1

#7 art and our states quarters map. We almost have them all! september 2010 070 1
And we did the board and batten! We did it ourselves to save some $$ It was really actually simple and inexpensive…I’ll show you what we did coming soon. Do you see that big, blank wall? We have plans for it and it could involve you…more later. :)

The paint color on the top is Kilim Beige from Sherwin Williams, the white is Behr Ultra Pure White from the Home Depot.

The wall with the map/chalkboard/whiteboard info is here.
Thanks for coming in…of course there is almost zero natural light in this room, but we love it and have worn it in well. I love banishing them all down to the basement when I’m making dinner.

Happy Thursday!
