My project of the week: Josh's room

[professionalhenchman]

So, this was my first week off work for the summer, and I've been busy.  We asked Ailurodragon to move out so that we can move Josh into his own room, and so I spent the week painting and otherwise getting the room ready.  Here are some photos of the finished room.











The closet doors are covered in magnetic primer and chalkboard paint, so he can stick magnets on it and draw there.  I also put up a starscape on part of the ceiling.  It approximates the night sky 8 hours after Josh was born.  It's an approximation because since I don't have a projector, the easiest way to paint it was to print the whole thing on several sheets of paper, punch holes, and use them like stencils.  I didn't quite get them lined up perfectly, but it'll do.






Honestly, I expected this to take longer than it did. We'll see how Josh sleeps in it when we get back from Faire.

Pretty nice! A fine place for a young kid to grow up in.

You guys are the best parents. Josh is a lucky little boy. I love the night sky idea.

Awesome! The sunburst on the ceiling looks neat, and I love the idea of a chalkboard wall.

I agree. The chalkboard wall is a great idea.
