"Chalk" full of fun

My-oh-my-oh-my! If you want to see some inspiration, check out these pantries here! I had seen this post and ran to buy chalkboard paint. I decided to do the inside of our pantry door, I actually see the inside moreso than the outside, it is a hallway to our dining room.

Here is a peak of what it looked like before.

I abolutely adore it! I already have places all over the house to write notes to family members so for this chalkboard I will list ideas for dinner and breakfasts. That way when the kids ask "what's for dinner?" I can tell them to pick something from the list. It will also inspire me when I am wondering what to cook. I often make a list like this when I get home from the grocery store. That way I do not forget what I just bought. Now I have a cool place to record it.

My ten year old daughter never thinks we have anything for breakfast. Every morning I have to tell her all the things she can pick from. Now I will be able to direct her to the pantry!

So here are a few tips that will save you!

• overly mask with tape and overly cover the floor. Do not underestimate overspray!




• if possible, remove the door first to avoid drips. I, of course, am too lazy to do this so I had to deal with drips by blotting them out and spraying with another coat. Fine for me.




• if possible, buy chalkboard paint that is not spray. It will alleviate tip 1 & 2.




• keep "Magic Erasers" close by. It perfectly took away all of my overspray and any boo-boos I made. I ♥♥♥♥ these things!

I think the finishing touch will be a monogram "B" at the top of the chalkboard.
