Chalkboard Walls at Mo Willems' Place

2003-03-willems.jpg

Lots of you liked Laura's Chalk Board Wall so we thought you'd like to see the idea on an even larger scale - an entire chalkboard room. Whose room is this? It's in the Brooklyn home of children's book author and illustrator Mo Willems' - just one more reason to love him.

Willems' family decked out their dining room in green chalkboard paint and had some old fashioned family fun by drawing and decorating it together. You can see more at his blog.

Thanks for the tip, Steph (whose adorable son Creed paid homage to Willems with his pigeon costume this past Halloween).

I'm envious of all those people able to breathe under the conditions created in a room where a chalk board is used.

That's cool. It's different, yes, but what fun.
