The Painted Playroom

We have a playroom under our stairs. In July of 2006, I talked joey into cutting out the sheet rock at the back of the closet under the stairs. We had a lot of space that got turned into the playroom. I primed everything white in preparation for painting, and a week ago I finally got around to actually painting it. I think it turned out really good, and I think the kids like it too.

Here is Joey and Elise back in July of 2006, cleaning out under the stairs.

Kyle and Elise sitting under the stairs in their new playroom.

The entrance to the playroom (empty for the moment, in another 5 minutes I'll have all the stuff back in it) There is a skylight and window and a shelf.

Our fun little shelf. With the cat the cookie the candy and even a little mouse snacking on a cookie. Gotta love the patriotic stars too.

Our ginger cat taking a little nap by the cookies. Elise wanted me to paint a pink cat, but the I reminded her about the orange stripe cats that she likes.

When I asked Elise what she wanted for this picture window she said a garden. So there is the garden. I wish mine looked this good.

The first rule of painting the playroom was that there had to be a castle involved. This is a window looking out over an enchanted forest and a magical castle.

The sky above the beams.

So there it is. That is how I keep up my painting skills. I don't work on canvas anymore, just walls.
