Here's one of my latest household projects - a 'chalkboard' addition to the entrance hallway. I had a picture rail from Ikea so I placed it underneath to give an illusion of having a real chalkboard. Finally I have a place to log miscellaneous notes rather than scribbling on the back of receipts and reminding myself to remember I need something or need to do something! :-)
The whole exercise was quick and easy and clean-up was a breeze. I also completed a smaller version in the den beside my desk to keep a running task list for work. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the almost full pint of paint left.
How clever!
ReplyDeleteNeat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a brilliant idea. Much bit than scraps of paper. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/BIJkg
ReplyDeleteI hope so though I still seem to have paper everywhere. It seems to multiple all on its own!
DeleteI love the idea of a place to keep notes, but I think I'd have to have a white board instead. I can't stand the texture of chalk. :)
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! I debated about the whiteboard paint but went with the chalkboard paint as it is seemingly less toxic. Plus I have a french door in my den and I use it as a whiteboards when brainstorming.
DeleteGreat idea. Do you have to touch up the paint? Might keep that remaining pint in case.
ReplyDeleteGreat question Jennifer! I don't know if touch ups will be required but it is a possibility.
DeleteGreat idea, I've never heard of white board paint before, I wouldn't have known that was an option.
ReplyDeleteI first heard of it a couple years ago. A former colleague was going to use it on one entire wall but request was denied. They continue to use a wee whiteboard instead. :-)
DeleteWow...so clever...great idea, and it looks so neat there...not out of place at all.
ReplyDeletePlease keep us updated on how well it is working for you.
