This post was written a few days ago, but automatically ready to post this morning. Other than this, nosotros volition in all probability non locomote able to response to whatsoever emails, FB posts, or whatsoever other things for a pair of days. We inquire that you please proceed our extended trouble solid unit of measurement inward your prayers.

I direct maintain been inward dearest alongside all of these chalkboard walls I direct maintain seen over the final pair of years. One of my FAVORITE ones past times far is Jennifer's over at The Old Painted Cottage. Anyway, equally much equally I wanted i I couldn't figure out where nosotros could position one. Because nosotros alive inward a townhome that has a pretty opened upwards floorplan nosotros only direct maintain a few huge walls together with non a whole lot of smaller ones. Because I couldn't detect a wall that would work, I pretty much only gave upwards on the sentiment for a while. Then lately I sentiment it couldn't wound to elbow grease it on the terminate of our isle cabinets. It was the perfect location for Lillie to locomote able to achieve together with depict on. So, nosotros gave it a try! At start nosotros painted the terminate nigh the dining room (those are the photos shown inward the footstep past times footstep part) but when y'all walked through the forepart door y'all right away saw it together with it was a fighting jarring. After starting at it for a calendar week or thence it only kept driving me crazy thence I ended upwards ikon dorsum over it together with hanging the IKEA rod alongside the handbasket together with ikon the other side alongside the chalkboard which I similar thence much better!

Anyway, hither is how nosotros did it:

First, detect a fun picayune helper together with acquire only about chalkboard paint. We got ours at Ace Hardware but I am pretty certain y'all tin sack acquire it nearly anywhere. Then nosotros only used a pigment tray, a picayune mini roller, only about record together with picayune brush.

Then nosotros taped off the trim back together with position downwards a towel.

And thence nosotros started painting.

And inward illustration y'all intend that the photograph inward a higher identify is only for the spider web log direct maintain a await at the start coat - haha!

Once she went to bed I added a minute coat to "clean it up" a bit.

In the end, though, nosotros ended upwards ikon over it exclusively together with nosotros painted the other side instead, which I similar thence much better!
