Playroom: Finished!

Well, except maybe curtains, but other than that... ta da! I'm not sure this can count as an OPAM as I started the wallpaper stripping project in October and I literally just finished putting together the cork board frames today. I am SOOO happy with how it turned out and it is now one of my favorite rooms in the house.

The frames on the ledges are just frames I had and I painted them with acrylic paint. The large ones (8x10 and up) I put 5/8" cork board in (purchased at JoAnn in the painting/fine art department on a 4'x2' roll and staple gunned the back.

    This is really incredible. And because it is so incredible it makes me wonder where you purchased those extra hours in the day. So, where?

    Let me preface this by saying, I mean this in the nicest way possible.....

    You stink! Seriously, I feel like an unfit mother reading you blog, seeing your wonderful projects (that you actually complete), creative ideas for your house and your boys. I mean, do you REALLY have two kids, a husband, a day job and a photography business??
    !!!

    p.s. The playroom is AWESOME!
