Now what did you use each of these for?

I know the paint is a bit obvious, but what about the others???

The idea paint was obvious, but maybe not all. Many people don’t know that IdeaPaint sells tints of their dry erase paint. So the blue paint behind our photo gallery is actually dry-erase paint that students write on with markers.

We purchased “bulldog clips” from United Art & Education to hold the pictures and posters up. Makes a really easy, no mess way of being able to change out visuals.

K! Magazine is up because the issue they have coming out in Jan/Feb will feature more information and philosophy behind our preteen intentional space.

IKEA is a great source of ideas, especially if you have to maximize a small space. The link above takes you to the Dignitet Curtain Wire. We put up lots of these around our space to hold posters and photos. We saw something similar on Flickr and found this to be the best solution. We use the bulldog clips from United Art & Education to hold everything to the wire.
