This is a room that is underneath the gym at MCBC. At the moment, it is all white. And cobweb-y and spider-y. However, it is going. to. be. awesome!
Jared and I were given permission to paint/decorate this room in any way that we wanted. It is our room that we'll use on Sunday nights for Kids in Worship, and it isn't used for anything other than our ministry. Jared did a bit of research and reading about kid's ministry rooms, and we picked out three colors (and chalkboard paint!!) to use in the room.
We took a trip to Lowe's Hardware this afternoon. They had a few choices. Yikes.
We settled on the three colors that are circled! Each wall will get one color. It'll be bright and colorful and awesome. We have a plan in the works to involve the kids in decorating the room, too, once we have the big-time painting done.
And about that chalkboard paint...
There's this random post in the middle of the longest wall. Instead of keeping it all one color, we went ahead and put chalkboard paint on it today! We thought it would be fun for the kids to have a small place to write on/decorate.
Then we realized we had plenty of chalkboard paint left, so we went ahead and painted around the door, too! I got close to nature today as I held hands with spiders and ran my head into cobwebs. Joyous occasion.
Pastor Jared examining our handiwork! :)
We were surprised at how easy it was to paint with the chalkboard paint. I guess I was expecting it to be more difficult, but it covered the wall really well and we got it knocked out pretty quickly!
We can't wait to get the room finished. Having a consistent place to meet with the kids will be wonderful, and we're hoping that it'll be a comfortable and fun place for them to hang out!
And this has nothing to do at all with the room, but I saw it when we were at Lowe's. "How the most watched couple in the world are getting it right."
Sound strange to anyone else? Come on, People magazine! :)
