My husband and I spent some time yesterday hanging up more artwork, photos, and finishing a few projects around our new home... Our new favorite addition to our daughter's playroom downstairs is her new art wall window.
We used two decorative shutters, and four adorable magnet boards hung atop a painted square. All combined, it resembles a little window. I can't wait until i can hang her creations on the wall when she begins coloring and crafting.
A side note, to get a perfectly clean edge, we painted the masked area's taped edge with the same latte wall color. It sealed the tape. Then, we painted the secondary color and after removing the tape, the edge couldn't have been more crisp!

Additional ideas:
- a mural could be painted beneath the magnet boards
- the window's edge could be detailed with moulding, etc.
- use peg boards, chalkboard paint, or whiteboards for your window panes

That looks so good. You guys did an awesome job. THanks again for the hair clips Sailor really loves them.
Such a great idea - I love that.
Just one queston though - so, do you mean that after you taped off the area for the painted square, you just painted the latte wall color right on top the tape, on both sides? Then, added the square color just inside the taped area?
Hi Kristy! Thanks for your comment on my blog! Re: your question about the art wall window... yes, after I taped in my square, I painted the latte wall color over the tape along the inside edge of the square, basically, the latte color sealed the tape, and any paint that would have bled, did so with the latte color, I then painted my secondary color within the square, and didn't have to be too careful when pulling off the tape! It worked like a charm!
That is SOO cute! I will have to pass it along to my friends with budding artists! :)
So cute:) Where did you get the scalloped magnet boards-I have been looking for them everywhere????
My mother-in-law purchased them a while back from See Jane Work, http://www.seejanework.com It doesn't look like they're available at this time but they have ALOT of other cute goodies including their adorable birdie and flower magnet boards!
Yay!! What a lovely find!! Best for my home too...
