Kitchen Chalkboard Wall

I convey a confession to make.  I, Jennifer Griffin, DIY abode blogger, convey never used chalkboard paint.  There.  I said it.  I remedied that concluding week, though!  And I went big.

There's a fiddling nook wall infinite leading into our kitchen from the hall which tin solely last seen i time yous are inward the kitchen, non from the front end door or the living room.   I considered doing i of the skinny side panels inward chalk paint, but the to a greater extent than I stance close it I decided to do the entire wrap-around section.

This wall is lightly textured, as well as I wasn't certain close that but left it lonely as well as painted on 2 coats of chalkboard paint.  Now that it's done, the texture actually didn't destination upwards existence an effect at all.

Following the directions on the can, at to the lowest degree iii days afterwards painting, the expanse must last seasoned.  This is done past times rubbing the chalk sideways over the entire wall, as well as hence erasing.  I had 2 practiced helpers for this step.

I also wanted to add together a fiddling drib spot.  In an endeavour to examine to proceed the location on my counter that is a magnet for junk clear, I added a mesh wall organizer (Target-then sprayed gold) for mail, of import schoolhouse papers as well as notes that usually larn left on the countertop.  

I'd also similar to add together our identify unit of measurement calendar as well as a few hooks as well as perhaps hang a moving-picture demo or 2 inward this infinite when Christmas is over.  

I combined several chalkboard lettering as well as artwork ideas that I saw on Pinterest, as well as added a few touches of my own.

My fille added some artwork all on her ain too...I was TOTALLY impressed alongside her creative writing.  Oh, I but noticed that she left out the "r".  She was working hence difficult she must convey missed it...so cute!

I took Pam's suggestion as well as used a few upside-down drawer pulls for fiddling chalk holders, as well as changed out the switch plates to brass.

  

Part of our Dec "to-do" list...

We broke inward the novel wall at my sister's political party concluding weekend.  Everyone added their ain birthday greetings for her along the sides.

So far, the wall is a hit!  There is sort-of a trail of chalkdust roughly the baseboards, but we'll bargain alongside that.  I convey some chalkboard markers but tin never actually larn those to completely erase as well as am a fiddling afraid to role them on the wall.  Does anyone convey whatever advice on that?  

Oh, as well as for the record, I convey the best married adult man inward the world.  Didn't fifty-fifty bat an optic when I started icon the walls black.  :)  I married the correct guy.  He's off of run today as well as we're off to position a large dent inward our Christmas shopping.  I promise yous all convey a fantastic weekend.  I genuinely appreciate your faithful reading as well as sweetness comments!
