The fun thing about the upstairs bedrooms are that the walls and ceilings are these flimsy plywood sheets that we're tearing out this Summer. They're awful!-- glued in some places and badly caulked in others. Hey whatever was needed at the time. The previous owners fixed half the house with duct tape and the other half with a caulk gun. Then they painted everything green. Done!
In Little S's room it's all covered in really ugly wallpaper (not as ugly as the hallway mind you), but in Charlotte's room it's a veritable blank canvas screaming to be enhanced with a little paint.
Little Miss has a lot of my sloppy, frustrated muraliste angst on her walls and ceilings.
This was so much fun!
And so the kids can draw on the walls like me I painted this old grenier door with chalkboard paint. They love it. I have to warn you though that chalkboard paint is highly addictive. I have about a million future projects for the rest of my can of paint.

Very Cool!
We've let Angelina draw on those walls which were basically uncompleted dry wall. Only problem is now she doesn't distinguish between those and freshly painted do-not-touch walls in her bedroom.
On a different note, do you have any favourite websites of french gardens? The husband is quite anxious for me to a do South of France style patio/garden, and though I've seen plenty, I need some pictures for more inspiration.
I love it!
How wonderful! It looks beautiful and the kids have a space to draw on the walls - perfect!
Cherise - I'd go on Flickr and search with keywords. Or check out bloggers like Corey of Tounge in Cheek.
I know Maison et Travaux has a site. http://maison-travaux.dekio.fr/ Maybe you can check regionally there.
Alison/Hexe - Thanks!
It looks great! I love that chalkboard paint. Some friends of mine did one wall in their kitchen with it and it looks great.
That's really nice, you guys really get a lot done in a little time! We've been in our house 6 years and still haven't finished...
Can't wait to see more photos of the house.
Maria
