Playroom Reveal Part 2: Art Station

I've slowly been finishing up the playroom.

Unfortunately, Slowly is the key word for every project around here!

I showed you the Dress Up Station last week --

so this week, I thought I'd show you the art station!

I pulled it together for less than $40 --

and it doesn't take up any floor space --

so if you don't have a playroom, no worries --

 you could put this anywhere you have some walls!

(like a hallway, upstairs foyer, kitchen island, etc!)

So here it is: 

The playroom Art Center! 

 

 and here are the details -- in case you're interested! :)

 

The white dry-erase board is from Hobby Lobby ($12.99 + 40% off coupon). The blue board is a magnetic chalkboard! I purchased an oil drip pan for $8 at an auto store - then used clean metal primer ($7 Home Depot) and Martha Stewart Chalkboard Paint (Michaels $5.99 + 40% off coupon) to make it pretty! They are both attached to the wall with 3M Command strips - and so far (2-3 months with a LOT of toddler boy abuse), they are holding up great!

 Command hooks and a dollar aisle pail hold the dry erase crayons & chalk!

 Above that, I have a place to display all his artwork!!

 This magnetic strip came from Ikea. It was originally orange but a little spray paint fixed that! I found these large clothespins on clearance at Michaels (.25) and just hot glued a magnet to the back. Wild Man LOVES to hang his art up there - so everyone can see! :) He's already so proud, it's cute!

I love it all - but I think these Silhouettes are my favorite part!!

I'll post a tutorial soon - but they were both finger painted by Wild Man.

 Then I just framed the canvas! :)

 So there you have it -- another section of the playroom! :)

 and definitely one of the favorites! :)

Now if only I could be motivated to finish the trim.

ugh.

What am I forgetting?
