Something to chalk about

Thanks for your comments on the ‘back to school’ home office idea! I followed Vivian’s advice and headed straight to Martha Stewart‘s website for some handy ways to use chalkboard paint. Then I got a bit carried away, trying to see what other cool chalkboard ideas I could find …

I really liked The Style Files‘ chalkboard ideas for kids bedrooms – what a fab way to get them to personalise their space (hopefully it’ll distract them from moving onto the walls!)

Plus, this next chalkboard idea from housetohome takes the term ‘shopping list’ to a whole new level (I’m not even sure there’s room for all my weekend’s errands though, groan!)

I also love this organised hallway idea – each family member gets their own chalk memo board, for photos, reminders … or funny notes to each other. Keep it clean people!

If you find any other great ideas be sure to let me know!

Back to school!

What a great way to get the entire family organised. I came across this cool chalkboard calendar home office on HomeShoppingSpy and think it’s a great way to keep track of events (and deadlines …), as well as livening up a work space. Use different grey paint shades for the checkerboard, and then update it each month with chalk!
