Details // Eclectic School Room

Last week, I formally introduced our Eclectic School Room.

I wanted to answer some reader questions about how I pulled it all together.

//Map Wall//

I got my maps from paper-source.com.

They are sheets of wrapping paper that I hammered on the wall.

I overlapped the edges ever so slightly and tacked all four corners of the maps.

Then, in the areas that gaped open still,

I used double-sided sticky tape and taped the edges of the maps together 

(since they were overlapping, the tape didn't touch the wall).

//Chalkboard Wall//

We did two coats of chalkboard paint for the wall.

Truly, it wasn't the most fun to work with,

and next time I will make my own to save on cost.

 

//Wall Color//

The walls were previously a burnt orange color and I was in dire need of lightening it up.

I was introduced to QuietHomePaints.com and their eco-friendly paints.

The paint is a soft grey, blue and meshes so well with the color scheme.

The actual color is Shutter.

Some major pros to this paint:

+it didn't have any odor at all while wet, unlike conventional paints.

+100% VOC free

+organic and safe for even kids to paint with

+it covered very nicely

There you have it!
