If I could redo my room I would put cork board and chalkboard paint behind my bed, covering the whole wall. I would put a corkboard behind my bed because I am a Disney Channel addict! I would hang up all my favorite stars, for example Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus. I would also hang up pictures of my friends and I. Then even if they move I could still remember them. Lastly, I could hang up study guides so I can simply take down my study guides and study. Then, when I’m done studying I can hang my study guide without losing anything and with it get an A+!

After that I would paint the three walls. I would paint my walls a colors from the Behr paint color chart I like, for example purple , green, pink, or a turquoise. If I painted my walls purple, I would put designs on my walls with the other colors, like Hawaiian or tropical flowers, one of my favorite symbols like lol, bff, and ttyl (laugh out loud, Best friends forever, and talk to you later) or peace signs and hearts.  I would put molding surrounding the top and bottom of the wall and on the top and sides of my closet. I would paint the molding a white.

Now, its time to pick out a bed. If the cork board wall is a small wall then put a twin, but if its a bigger sized wall put a full bed. If you put a twin bed try to get a pull out bed underneath so during sleepovers you don’t have to be cramped in a bed or in a sleeping bag on an hard floor. The bed would be in a white color and I would center the bed in the middle of the wall.

I think all kids rooms should be fun and full of things that make us smile and feel happy. I know Mom’s dont love posters and crazy colors but we do and we change our minds a lot so pretty soon we wont like that stuff, either!

I’ve never had so much fun. I brought home a quart of the Benjamin Moore Glow in the Dark Paint to make a starry sky for my daughters’ bedroom. The paint glows in the dark just like any glow-in-the-dark toy, except it is paint.

I couldn’t wait to get started and jumped right in. What I didn’t realize was how thick you have to make the paint in order to get a decent glow. I first started by trying to “flick” the paint from my paint brush to create stars. This didn’t work so well overall, but made a fantastic “milky way” across the center. It took me several hours of flicking in order to build it up enough for it to show a decent glow. (as an aside, the t-shirt I was wearing is still glown in the dark to this day)

But being the imaginative guy I tell my wife I am, I knew (more…)
