Chalk it up to restlessness or the need to constantly have a project underfoot, but I am a girl obsessed,
with chalk.
chalk paint.
it's everywhere. And with the wait upon us,
yes as of last week
we are officially (woot!woot!) in the waiting stage,
all the adoption paper work has been submitted.
Halleluah, can I get an AMEN!
and
now
we wait.
and.
paint.
I am joining 65th Avenue for a chalkboard paint party. Check out her blog for some creative inspiration for chalkboard paint projects. Here are a few of our chalkboard diddies:
In our dining area, magnetic chalkboard encased in a gold painted frame |
In our mudroom |
Toy boxes in our playroom, chalk markers work extremely well for smudge proof projects |

Hours of entertainment |
So, are you a chalk-er? It's super easy. You can find all the products you need, painter's tape, chalk paint, magnetic paint, etc, at Lowe's. It takes less than an hour to create work-able decor. Here's a site that might inspire you, how to: "chalkboard paint project".
What projects are you currently tackling? I'll hopefully be sharing more of mine as I wait impatiently for that phone call.
Blessings,
First....Amen to the completed paperwork!! I'm throwing in a woo hoo, too!!!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I love chalkboard paint. We used it once to cover part of an old kitchen cabinet...it was wonderful. Then I tried a whole wall.....glorious. Now I need those chalkboard markers!! Never heard of them before. I love your chalkboard masterpieces :)
