Chalkboard wall DIY


I have seen so many chalkboard walls, dressers and random items, that I just had to have one.  I thought  it might take some convincing Tom to let me paint a wall black, but he actually was totally okay with it.  So I didn't waste any time.  I found the perfect wall to paint in my kitchen. 





I ran to the paint store and within a few hours, I had the first coat on.  The directions suggested 3 coats of paint.  



And then wait 3 days before writing on it.


The third day happened to be my birthday and I came downstairs to this. 
I absolutley love this wall. 


When friends come over, they love to write notes or draw fun pictures.  Kids love to write on the wall.  My family writes things they love, funny things, notes, reminders to me.  Some messages are random, some are sweet, some are goofy.  No matter what is written on the wall, I love it.  It is a snapshot of our life as a family.  I highly recommend putting a chalkboard wall somewhere in your house.

  1. Hi, this looks great! Do you only have to put up the three coats of black paint and then after waiting it's all set to go?
