The Wall of Dreams: Creative Meeting Room Idea

This creative meeting room was my dream come true!

 

Imagine walking into the retreat room at #aloftseattleredmond and discovering the entire wall is a whiteboard. 

Creative Meeting Room

My client’s emerging leaders and I spent three glorious days mapping out talking points and presentation openings and closings. We plotted outlines for white papers and journal articles. We broke tedious paragraphs into succinct bulleted lists. I may have even diagrammed a sentence! 

 

Now I want to buy some whiteboard paint and convert one of the walls in my home office, but other people in my house are not as gung-ho about this idea as I am.

 

Have any of you used whiteboard paint in your homes or offices? If so, what’s the verdict? Is it difficult to clean—because one of my pet peeves is when you can still see the markings even after you’ve erased and cleaned everything. I’d love to hear from some fellow whiteboard enthusiasts. The possibilities are endless.
