Take Note

I know chalkboard paint has been around for awhile now, but I have yet to use it in my own home.

I don’t think I could commit to a whole room in my house.  But I finally decided to paint one door panel in the kitchen. Jon wanted to use magnetic paint as well so we are not finished with this little project yet, but it’s been quite easy to far.

My hubby has now turned into a decorator himself and told me we could use  the chalkboard paint on my desktop as well. Ah perfection it will complete the look of the desk. Can’t wait to do that this weekend.

I know the idea of painting a room partly black is not for everyone so there are a variety of wall decals you can choose from.



My favorite find has to be from a Lillian Vernon that I almost tossed out in the trash without giving it a second glance, but I’m so happy that I didn’t.

At only 19.99 for 4 panels it is one of the cheapest options I have seen and they totally reminded me of Erin and how it would be perfect her weekly meal plans.



So are you over the chalkboard trend or do you have it/still want it in your home?
