Are you over chalkboard? Or are you still loving the endless possibilities like I am.
Thats really cool, especially the mug part. I would have never thought of putting it chalkboard paint anywhere but a blank wall.

when my brother and his then girlfriend now wife bought their home 5 years ago they painted their entire powder room (excluding ceiling) with chalkboard paint and have a basket of chalk and cloth in their for people to doodle on the walls with. It was kinda new and awesome as this was before the big chalkboard craze hit. Every so often they would wash off the walls. Usually after there was some drunken vulgarness or there was no room left to write anything.
Hi there! I clicked over from Design Sponge. I love your style and can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hi! I love all your ideas and designs, these chalkboard paint ideas are great!
Kristin…I use all of those, including the spray..and I love it! π It was great meeting you at Haven and having you in the posse. Looking forward to next time!
I got the spray kind and my board is still pretty blotchy. I just don't get along with spray paint on flat surfaces I guess. Love all the ideas that you have. I still really like chalkboards!
