magna-wall

i have been wanting to create a magnetic wall on the landing between the kids' rooms for some time.  i haven't ever worked with magnetic primer before, and that was a learning experience- the stuff is really not like paint at all! 


 
the wall, before

 
the wall, primed with crazy magnetic paint- it works!

 
all done!  

i think it will be a great place to hang kid art, photos, and play with magnets!
another project completed!  i am on a roll here, people!
