Chalkboard is Finished

This is take 2 of the chalkboard post. I scheduled it for this morning, but was exhausted and didn't get around to finishing the post last night, so when it was up this morning it was blank. Hopefully no one saw.

Here's the new IKEA chalkboard I painted Watermelon for the big girl room. It's going to be part of her new art studio I'm assembling in the closet once I ever clear out the remaining junk.

The mini buckets were a find at the Target $1 section. I'm obsessed with that area! Now, I'm sure you probably think I'm crazy for putting crayons and colored pencils next to the chalkboard. There's actually a bar that holds a roll of paper for drawing. And, I'll actually add chalk and dry erase markers at some point too. The basket underneath will hold her coloring books, tablets, etc.

Here's what happened as soon as my cranky, almost 2 year old checked out her new area.

AWESOME!! 

Well, now you can see it's not always perfect around here. Far from it in fact. This is just life with a toddler.
