Love the new color of the walls in the man cave. Have you tried using one of those thingys to make your own wood grain walls? Do you know what I'm talking about? Where on earth do you get all your energy and motivation? You're like the energizer bunny!

I think I will try Benjamin Moore's paint and not the chalk paint. I'm still not convinced it's any better than regular good quality paints. What do you think?<br /><br />The man cave looks great. I actually like the wallpaper on the single wall. Looks great. The entire room is a winner!<br /><br />hugs<br />SissieSissie's Shabby Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142205878984008123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-214749393367392928.post-18868651828725836852011-04-07T18:26:24.560-04:002011-04-07T18:26:24.560-04:00Amy that secretary is GORGEOUS!!
