No...I am obsessed with chalkboard paint.
Maybe it came from years of homeschooling and covering old tables with it to make math more fun. Or maybe because I like to write on walls. Who knows but the love affair continues.
This is a pine tv hutch that my in-laws had made back in the early 80's........
It has gifted to us when we lived in our first apartment in Atlanta, GA........
This girl is HEAVY!!!! Solid and beautiful.
She has been in every room you can think of.....
Finally after this move to Richmond VA we didn't have a place for her anymore and considered donating her....but no one is using entertainment cabinets anymore...we all have flat screens...ya know?
I just couldn't let her go......and my chicken, that I had just painted needed a home.
So we chalk boarded her!!!! The ENTIER thing!!!
Hubby thought I was NUTTTZZZOOOO!
My kids and their friends love it and it gives the kitchen an element of surprise... its a great place for a love note....
So if you have an entertainment cabinet or some other huge piece of furniture that just isn't working anymore...make it fun...hit it with some chalkboard paint and let the kids write on some furniture......
Ok...this is just straight up cool!! What an AWESOME idea!! When you come up here I am going to pick out a random piece of furniture and you have to teach me how to do this!!
ReplyDeleteAs a side note, those old TV cabinets make great linen closets or kid's clothes cabinets! I added shelves and a shower curtain to mine and now it stores all my kid's dress up clothes. :D
love this piece in your house. so fun! and the new look is much much better. love you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea-better than crayons on the wall!!!
