This Monday Made-Ok, so I really wanted to do like Crystal did with her blinds and the fabric...
But all the fabric that I found that I liked was like $8 a yard-I was tempted, but no wasn't going to be able to spend that much on it. So, I thought about what I could do and decided on the following........
This was much cheaper. I have a frog theme going so I got black poster board and painted frogs on them. The black empty poster board below is where I am going to put my word wall. I will put up my frog word wall headings (just waiting on them to be laminated then I will get them up) and attach our word wall words.
Here are the bulletin boards painted black-I did remember before pictures on these :-)
When I first started the painting I thought I'd do all the bulletin boards and all of the shelves-YEAH RIGHT! First of all, I don't like painting-actually I dread it! So, after spending like400 4 hours on the three bulletin boards being painted, I decided that I could live with the blue color on the shelves LOL! So there are my big projects for the day. Glad I was able to get them done. :-)

Love te black bullitan boards. I did it in my son's room a few years ago and he loves it. I had it a little easier as I was able to spray paint then hang:)

I feel like I make up for it suring the school year though. I love your word wall on your blinds. Does it bother you that you have to leave the blinds down?
