Recently I worked on a project in which my client has one large empty wall in her Kitchen with a family to juggle. So, I decided to paint her wall with chalkboard paint in frames so that she could quickly leave a message up or draw a calendar for her nanny. Meanwhile, her little one just loves using his creative skills on the lower half of the wall with colored chalk.
Stop by your local Home Depot or Lowe's and pick up a jar or two of Rust-Oleum Chalkboard paint and make this your summer fun project.
Tape off the area that you want to paint first with blue painters tape or masking tape.
I created picture frames with borders with the tape first.
Lastly, I had the ceiling painted a light blue, hung the lights, and then filled in the framed out tape with the chalkboard paint.
The final outcome was fun for all to enjoy!
Other fun ideas to do with chalkboard paint:
Paint and label your own wine bottles...choose whatever year you like.
Organize your month with various shades of grey each day.
Jazz up those plain old Crate and Barrel white jars with labels.
Give your kids plenty freedom to eat and draw on their own special coffee table. No worries of messing up your nice one! Visit Ikea for the base.
No more searching through cabinets...the info is on the door!
...And if you are really talented, create your own Cy Twombly and hang it in your Living Room. Good luck painting!
