I am finally done with the playoom (well all but the closets)!  CHeck it out!

Still trucking along on the playroom transformation.  I just finished painting the ceiling light blue.  Have all te roll on textured walls done.  I'm just now starting my last wall, the accent wall.  Tried something new....cardboard stamp walls.

Paint your base color.  I chose dark brown, the color I rolled on the other walls.

Cut a piece of carboard to the desired size.  I cut a 9.5x11 piece off a box and then ripped it in half so I got the ribbed texture on one side.  Pick your desired colors to stamp on the wall.  I chose green, light blue, and light tan.  You can either roll the color on the cardboard or use a brush to paint it on.

Press the ribbed size of the cardboard on the wall.  I decided to switch the direction of the carboard to add extra texture.  I would have the lines going horizontal and then the next one vertical.

Sorry its been awhile since I have posted, I have been busy trying to get the floor done in the playroom.  I took a break and started working on the workstation of the room.  I decided to make a sign that said CREATIVE ARTWORk with clipboard hung on the wall so that the kids could display their artwork!  Check it out!

Measure the size you want each letter to be.  Sketch the letter on the cardboard and cut it out.

Tape down the starting point of the yarn.

Keep wrapping the yarn around the letter till all cardboard is covered.  Tuck the end piece into the back of the letter.

Chicly Cheap kids workplace!!!

So I put the cardboard on the entry way of the playroom.  I haven't quite perfected it.  So in the mean time I decided to put the textured cardboard on the roller and paint the texture on the wall.  Adds the same textured look as the cardboard with a lot lett steps than before.  I like it so far!  Keep you posted on the progress!

So I continue the playroom tranformation.  The room is pretty big and overwhelming so i am focusing on one area at a time.  I am almost done with my first section...the entry way.  I have put up textured walls...painted the textured walls..painted the ceiling light blue...added detrailed paintings to the wall.  Now I have pulled up the carpet and removed tack strips.  I put down the grout color, which I decided to do blue.   Today I plan to tape it off and sponge on tan.  Should I make a welcome matt by the door....make it a little fun since it is a playroom???  Well I will keep you posted!

Yesterday was a bit of a mess.  I decided to paint the cardboard to give it a more uniformed look.  At first it completely scared me because the cardboard majorly bubbled up.  After it dried it flattened out a bit.  I had to staple a few parts down though.  So I decided to use the glue mixture from the brown paper wall to glue the squares on.  I'll keep you posted if that works any better.  Check out what it looks like so far.  I added a little design on it (keep in mind this is for a kids playroom).  Also, I painted the ceiling light blue.  I am now starting to paint the cement floor!  My first corner of the room is almost done. :) I'll keep you posted on the progress!
