A Chalkboard Wall...Pinterest Inspired


Don't you just love Pinterest!
I could spend so much time just looking at boards, pinning, and drooling over the most creative ideas. 
One of those ideas is chalkboards or chalkboard walls. I believe Miss Mustard Seed and Furniture-olgy have some of the prettiest I have ever seen and after staring at them for awhile I decided to take the plunge and create my own. With a little help from hubby we accomplished just that and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. 
Wanna see??
Ok..ok..here's the tutorial 



Start with a blank wall


Tape off your design


Paint it with chalkboard paint and season with a piece of chalk to cure it


And my favorite part...decorate!!


















Do you love chalkboard walls or chalkboards?
If I ever get tired of this look, I can just paint right over it..ahhh I love paint!!

Have a blessed week.
Happy Mothers Day to all you mom's out there..isn't it the best job in the world!

    Your chalkboard wall is so fun and pretty. Love the way you have it styled with the frame and plates.

    Your wall turned out wonderful! Love the plates and the frame. It's nice that you can just paint over it, but I would keep it for some time as it turned out so lovely.
    Thanks for sharing,

    It's genuinely very complex in this full of activity life to listen news on TV, therefore I simply use internet for that reason, and obtain the most up-to-date information.
