I’m currently flirting with the idea of painting a wall in my kitchen or office with chalkboard paint. You know, a giant notepad/calendar/message center where people will write inappropriateness that I’ll discover at the most inopportune times.
I’m thinking black but you can customize the paint color like they did here. Black paint available here.
p.s. where was chalkboard paint when I was a mischievous four year old who loved to draw on the grand room walls?

I love the idea of a chalk board in the kitchen!!! Very creative and fun for the inner child!

You need to paint it 3 times for it to be good and able to write on.. But it looks super cool!
That and the magnetic paint are such great inventions ha. I stumbled on a decorative decal for the wall that was for chalk in Target (little less permanent). Here’s the link: http://www.target.com/Chalkboard-Wall-Decal/dp/B001UFRNGI/ref=sc_qi_detaillink

I love chalkboard paint! My drama teacher painted his classroom walls with it and it’s the coolest thing ever – I’d paint a wall of my room with it but I don’t have the time. ๐
absolutely awesome. Martha is a genius

Tempting for sure but I keep hearing that it sounds like a better idea than it actually is.. apparently it always ends up looking kind of gross.
i love that idea! i will definitely make a wall or part of a wall in my house a chalkboard paint!
here’s an idea: put a frame on the wall with no picture in it, and instead of a picture, it’s the chalkboard paint!

This is great! I am actually working on something similar. Instead of painting an entire wall, I am in the process of shopping for an antique picture frame. I will then cut a sheet metal the size of the frame to be placed inside as a picture. Paint the sheet metal with black chalkboard and voila…an appealing magnetic chalkboard that can be placed anywhere in the house ๐
I hope it turns out as I plan.

My fav chalkboard kitchen idea is drawing a map of the neighborhood with all your fav eating spots on it (complete it with take-out menus or numbers)

Can’t wait to see yours!
love it!
the guy has that in his bedroom in 500 days of summer (best movie, if you haven’t seen it i suggest it)
I could just see it getting very dusty, but I absolutely love the idea

That’s a cool idea, but having a chalkboard like that in your kitchen the dust would get all over your counter-tops and probably into the food you would be preparing over the stove…
This is pretty neat! Never seen anything like it. But I don’t think I’d like a whole wall of chalkboard art. Maybe a strip of a wall.. OU! Or strips of chalkboard from floor to ceiling.. Interesting! Haha, great post ๐
This is really cute! What a unique concept! Never thought of having a whole wall as a chalkboard.
can one do that it in rental apts? haha lol. I want it – now. could write all sorts of cool notes for myself ๐ and great for parties <3

The little monkey is so cute! I think it’s Danish design by Kay Bojesen for Rosendahl (if it’s the same I sell in the store I work).
I recently painted a wall in my kitchen in matte black paint…it looks great!!! Go for it!!!
This looks really cool..i was just writing a post about magnet paint to be able to put up pics on a whole wall but this is a great idea too
