Outer Space-Inspired Basement

The protruding wall is painted floor to ceiling with chalkboard paint giving the boys plenty of space to work out their theories on the cosmos or just draw rocket ships. Now, the brothers each have a desk on either side of the chalkboard wall. Bright red shelves hung above the desks give them a place to keep their books and display toys.
