The Great Divide and Julia's first trip

Well This weekend is going to be a real First My daughter will be going with her grandmothers this weekend. I'm going to be redecorating the house. Since my daughter is going to get thru 2 days of not having me and bed sharing will not be possible I'm thinking of how to get her into her crib when they come back. Now we have a 1 bedroom apartment and a rather large master suite however I'm at a loss of how to get her into her bed. I feel like the only way she will EVER sleep in her bed would be if I could make it too where she can't see me. what do you do to divide a bedroom in half ? how do I hide her bed? What do I do ? Pictures to follow

Chalk board lettering

DIY chalk Board

 This is the before it was a picture of a deer from good will It was perfect in the fact it was posted on to wood... No glass or cardboard matting to deal with...
 I pretty much didn't even waist Primer I went from this to straight Matte Black Chalk Board Paint.
 I did however PRIME The Frame in the frame you can see the spray paint I used for the color it was Called Watermelon :) Such a happy fun color huh ;)
 3 thin coats later and a little dry I just attached the deer back to the frame :)
As you can see the Chalk board is All finished :)

Project Cost :
I picked up the frame for $5 dollars
I picked up 2 cans of spray paint they were about $3.50
1 can of chalk board
1 can of watermelon
I had a sanding block and primer lying around ... if your crafty I'm sure you have a few lying around however if you dont then probably spend $4

I Figure I spend no more then $15 if you include Tax
I think it came out super cute!!!
