A creative space for Kids Ministry brainstorming!

May 3, 2013 | Courtney Baker

Earlier this year, our team here at Lifeway decided we wanted to add a little excitement to our floor. That sounded like the perfect project for Pam and me, so we started a project that would take us much longer to finish than we ever imagined, but the result was worth all the patience it took for us to see this project come to life.

Here’s how Pam and I like to start….with a clean slate.

However, that is not how it was for this project. I\’m sure many of you also have to work with what you are giving, and that was certainly the case with this project. We had some great book shelves, but we had a lot of random stuff on them. Our first objective was to get some great artwork on the walls. If you\’ve seen our Lifeway Kids catalog, you might recognize the art.

Next we decided on a pretty strict color pallet, tangerine, surf, grass green, and black & white. We then decided to take all the random stuff on the shelves and paint it all with chalkboard paint. Take this Ship’s Wheel from a previous year of CentriKid Camps.

Or this globe…

There are a lot more super random objects. See if you can spy the following:
– Bobble head
– Skateboard
– Football
– Trophy
– Viewfinder
– Clock
– Bowling Pin

If you want to take on a similar project here’s a few tools we found really helpful:
– Chalkboard spray paint
– Chalkboard Paint
– Goodwill
– A good dose of patience
Here’s a few pictures of the finished space:

If you’re looking for some great artwork, we\’d be glad to send you the image for our catalog cover. We mounted ours on foam board, but there are lots of ways to utilize it. Just leave a comment here, and we\’ll connect with you.

    I would love to have the magazine cover art to decorate a big wall in our space. Thanks!
