I'm All About Chalkboard Paint!

Found this on Houzz.com- LOVE IT & had to share! :)


Grown-Up Ideas for Chalkboard Paint

Little ones love to get their hands on some chalk and doodle away, but by no means should that limit your imagination for what chalkboard paint can do — and more importantly, where it should go. Take a cue from these photos and point your paintbrush towards unique areas to introduce that familiar dark gray writable surface into your home.

Even if you love the look of a black wall, it can be a little nerve-wracking to take the plunge and paint your walls in the non-color. Dark chalkboard gray feels much more approachable, and if it's too dark, you can always cure it with lots of chalk.
